So is this a good result or a bad one for us?  I feel as though Port have a tougher run home, so them losing could be a better outcome as GWS have some easier games to come (and no, I don't include us in that).

Purely because I'm still wallowing in my own misery, the only amusement I can find from the situation is that GWS winning bumped Geelong down to 9th, despite what happened last night.

And... that's about it.

I think we have to accept GWS are likely to win almost every game from here with their buttery-soft run home. I'm not sure about Port's run home but I think they're pretenders and could easily fall out of the 8. It could very well be us vs them vying for that final spot.

    I would've preferred to stay above GWS, Port and Syd have tough runs home but a game in hand makes it tough for us to overcome either

    We need 3 wins now to scrape in on %

    I'm delirious, but we will 4 or 5 of our remaining games, and either pinch 4th or finish 5/6th.

    It's all in the head for our beloved demon's I truly believe we are top 4 quality . Although apart from the top 2 the rest of the 8 are all iffy on any given day

    Oh dear. The Port, St Kilda and Geelong games should have won them all and we would have been on top today. As if I wasn't feeling quite bad enough already.

    True, but those games show that we are not far off being really competitive should ease some of the pain.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
