It is entirely 100% in our hands as to where we finish - even second, with double chance and home finals is possible .... in fact WILL happen if we win all our games.

So ...no excuses.

Every season is in our hands, we should win 22 each year?

i sense you are more of an optimist than me. We have two of the toughest games possible coming up and off our form this year we won’t win them. So we need to win the next two and squeeze on in 13.

    Better this week than next. 

    Let’s hope it doesn’t kick them into gear for next week. Sick of swans hawks cats!

    If we want to win a flag this year, the Sydney win was the perfect result for us.
    If we just want to Bradbury our way to an extra footy game this year, well then bad luck.

    Bradbury plan is flawed because it's in our hands anyway. We need to win the two games. Win then and we're home. Our percentage takes care of the rest. We can't Bradbury it through.

    What a great day. Bummers lose and the pies lose both by tiny margins. 

    Ok melbourne team no pressure but if you can handle it tomorrow we can be in 3rd spot. 

    Wow AFL I don't think we need zones and 6 on 6 and all that crap. This round has been great. Footy will fix itself.

    Top 4 is well and truly open now. 

    Tell you what if we can win this week & next our last two rounds will be epic games. Bigger than 8 point games if that's even possible

    Bradbury didn't fall over, which is what we'd be doing if we were to lose all our games.

    Win 1 v Gold Coast and find 1 more somewhere (Sydney next week…equivalent to keeping out skates on the ice), and we're in barring some ridiculous set of mathematical permutations. That's the Bradbury route in my mind.

    Happy to have the swans find some form, much better to play some tough games heading into the finals, test ourselves, win all (or all but 1) and we will have a good ladder position and more importantly a lot of confidence going into the finals

    Think it’s 70 years since Melbourne played Tigers in a final. Maybe Bluey Truscott’s last game.

    I thought Buddy heroics aside Sydney were still pretty bad, their midfield is ordinary at the moment

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
