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. 

 

Just wondering...when was the last time Melbourne played Collingwood in a final?........i just have this feeling.

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 

% boost would be sweet with these narrow wins

Well they honed their ' skills ' with a good win against Gold Coast so they're in form. !!!

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.

GWS will beat Carlton though. 

Well it's in our hands now win and we are 4th. GO THE MIGHTY DEES!

As long as we beat the Swans. Possibly one of WCE & GWS. And obviously the Suns. 

Think you're right DL...

We need 3 wins for finals now

Wow.....thanks SWYL, that was a lifetime ago.

Now we will find out if Goodwin can really Coach. It’s all on the line

 

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 

Geez I hope we upset the trend hand out 100 pointer.

That was so long ago I’ve forgotten that game. I was probably there.

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
