Ok so now it’s been apparently proven that a draw doesn’t help I’m just going to focus on the benefit of the team who loses rather than anything else. 

Need to try anything to make this work.

    Lucky, that churchy trait gets Nathan Jones off the hook

    The hawks can do some damage in the finals. With Clarko there anything is possible. 

    I have been worried for a while that the Dorks could snatch another flag this year if they get into the Eight, especially if they get top 4. Their team is not what it was but they just keep playing consistent, smart football and many of the other contenders are copping injuries or suspensions. Only the Tigers and perhaps an improving GWS  are playing better footy. I hope we don’t have to meet them early if we make the Eight. We more than match them on paper but we get outplayed and outcoached just about every time we play them.

    I still don't think there has been enough focus on the cats and there current situation on the ladder. This is a team that has the like of Hawkins, Danger, Selwood, Menzel then they throw in ablett this year and they are currently sitting 9th. 

    They should be sitting top 4 but they aren't even in the 8. At the beginning of the season if you said with 3 rounds to go geelong would be 9th you wouldn't believe it.

    I just love the booing of Ablett.

    It’s a shame Geelong have 2 easy games coming up would have liked to see them miss 

    I think they still can. My ladder predictor has North coming in. I tried to redo it but it’s mid round.

    And if they had lost the 2 games won after the siren against us they would be well out contention!

    I had them finishing 9th in pre season ladder. They don’t deserve to be there e specially after what they did to us this year.

    you mean what we did to ourselves, they were just the bystanders.

    We blew it, twice. 

    They get 8 points. 

    This is exactly why we as a whole, club and supporters, must learn to never accept even an honourable loss as anything near good enough. 

    The ramifications are right here in front of us  

    that said, we can still control our destiny, but Jeelong should have been killed off weeks ago

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
