Not liking our chances of a GF berth:

 

Our poor % means we are effectively two games behind the leaders who have a relatively easy run home.  

I don't see the Bulldogs being toppled with their huge %'age.    A big, big win vs Lions this Friday could get us back in the running.  But then the Bulldogs await - who will do anything to keep us out of the GF.

So to end up top 2 we need to win all three games and either the Bulldogs or Lions to drop two (or we beat them by huge margins).   Or rely on either GWS or Pies to beat either or both teams.   While not impossible I just don't see that happening. 

Sadly, I think our season is over and it is very annoying that we gave it up by big losses to two average teams:  Freo and Pies.

It's not over til it's over ... but I think it might be over.

I guess it's a good thing we have so much experience with this situation as Dees fans?

We need to win our remaining games and we need GWS or the Pies to find some form. The Pies did beat us.

Given the current system of no finals we have to be in control of our own destiny and we have blown that chance. Losing to and relying on bottom teams to win is not a good outcome.

Lions are extremely well coached 

Think they will take some beating from here on

We have talent but not the team work required

The end of the season is shaping up to a percentage battle between us and Brisbane. ....and that's assuming we win all remaining games or by some miracle Brisbane lose to Collingwood or GWS.

Carlton is our biggest hope of bridging the gap and we have to do it in a big way, as we are 10% behind them. 

Fingers crossed, but like the mens side in 2017 we have let slip the opportunity to determine our own fate.

So if Brisbane lose one and Melbourne win the next two we will make the GF.

Brisbane are currently down two goals to Collingwood at 1/4 time

This feels dirty to type but ... Go the Pies!

That is it fndee.

If lions lose today it is wide open for us.  We must have a big win tomorrow vs Blues to build a % buffer but even that won't be enough if we lose to bulldogs next week and Crows beat Pies.

Nail biting games await!

Go Pies this week and next week vs Crows!

Dozen stubbies should fix the dirt but I do agree though.

Can never trust those damn Pies - let lions get 3 junk time goals and protect their %age.  Grrrrr!!

So, it is up to the team now - win next 2 games and we are in the GF.

How fitting will that be: a Bulldogs vs Demons GF - the two original teams playing off.

So do we want giants or dogs to win tonight ? Im getting confused now

Bit close to call - a giants win will bring the dogs back to the field but give the giants a leg up and compete with us for second spot.

But I would still go for the giants tonight (by a very narrow margin like 1 or 2 points) as they have the lions next week.

We win tomorrow and the field is wide open.  Knock off the bulldogs next week and we shut the gate on everyone else!!!

There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
