    Never change Freo. Long may you continue to fail when excepted to win and win when expected to lose. Bless you, you hideously boring team. 

    Great weekend of results for us, except North losing. But what else can you expect from those [censored]?! Will hate forever.

    The North result is debatable.  The only really bad one was bloody Richmond not beating GWS.

    If we had just gotten a win against garbage teams Port or St Kilda we would be in such a great position.

    No point crying over spilt milk though.  Bring on the Cats.

    Well that round couldn't have gone much better, barring an Essendon and Giants loss. Woo!

    True. Richmond not winning was bad. 

    Sydney winning pushed us down a spot. North winning wouldn’t have changed that.

    We can redeem ourselves by beating one of Geelong, Sydney or West Coast. Plus of course we need to beat GC and take care of Adelaide.

    North/Sydney result matters depending on whether we need the result to make top 4 or 8.

    yep, and as I've posted earlier, I'm risk averse.  If we make the finals outside the top 4, the season will be a success. If we don't make the 8 there will be wrist slitting all round.

    Port and Collingwood lose next week and we win we will be 4th. Lose and we are just surviving in the 8.

    Based on a few ladder predictors I've done with conservative results if we lose the next 2 games we could be sitting 10th.

    Well we had better not lose then  -  simple really.

    True.

    One other good thing about all these upsets is that it will likely take 13 wins to make the 8 now. it was looking like it may take 14 there for a while.

    So if we win 3 of the last 6 we will make it.   And top 4 is there for the taking.

    As as bizarre as it might also seem...just atm...as the final 8 might result according to Squiggle...we could play the Tigers in a prelim before the GF ;) Such a funny game Footy at times

    looking at that ladder is painful. We'd be on top if we had beaten Port, Geelong and Saints !!

    Every time I look at the ladder I think the same. I really feel that the best is yet to come and many will be surprised.

    Wow the pies dropped to 5th after there loss but have got back up to 3rd. Next week there are some important games. Us v Geelong, Collingwood v Nth and Port v GWS. Cannot stress the importance of us winning next week to get the 2 game break on the cats and hopefully collingwood lose to nth so we can climb a spot. But yeah you think if only we beat at least stkilda like we should have we'd be 3rd. 

    Anyone else get this scary feeling our finals could come down to r23 against the giants when of course they will be at full strength then.

    No

    Strangely the tenet of many a post.

    Nope. As it is I think we will get bundled out week 1 (unless we make top 4 which is very unlikely). Gotta take a scalp.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
