A quick ladder predictor says yes. We can make it with 12 wins as long as Sydney and Geelong only win 1 (Sydney can win 2 if you include the game against us).

Whilst that would be awesome Geelong will not lose to either Fremantle or Gold Coast so you wasted precious bandwidth on that predictor. ?

If Port win today and we win the last 3 games, we will finish 2nd guaranteed.

My MFCSS does not compute.

West Coast are looking like not much chop so far without their key players Gaff Kennedy and NicNat. We're a massive chance over there next week.

Also they don't have there home ground or the umps on there side.

The word "guaranteed" does not exist in a world where MFCSS already exists.

Amazing the drop off, they can barely hit a target.

Sure it does; it's in the definition.

MFCSS n.,  "Whatever can go wrong for the Melbourne Football Club, will go wrong (guaranteed)."

My god could you imagine if thats how the ladder ended up r23. Collingwood v melbourne at the mcg week 1. Im not sure I could handle that week. 

I can't see port falling out. 

On another note Id love to see Richmond v hawthorn in a final not the gf obviously but just to see how the hawks match up against them again. 

 

Its 2 weeks actually, with the break after the H&A.....that would be a hard 2 weeks

I'm loving the choice of a defensive forward tag on McGovern from Ken Hinkley. We should do likewise with a Pedersen or even a Fritch (someone with good marking power but also good running endurance).

Oh man! Who wouldn't want to go flying all over the place all the time!

"Good morning passengers. This is your purser speaking. We will be leaving about 25 minutes after our scheduled time, because, flying. Our flight will take fifty minutes and twenty years. You can work out the joke yourselves. Your in flight meal will be a choice between soggy beef wellington and soggy noodles. We will be giving out free soft drinks but if you want half a glass of stale cask wine, we will be happy to rip you off on that. Just ask your nearby flight attendant. We will be showing a movie, Harry Potter and the Missed Finals By A Percentage Of Point Two Percent. Also we will be delighted to [censored] watches, perfumes, and other sh*t to grift a few bucks, or just to annoy you. Whichever comes first."

Sounds like heaven!

At this stage of the weekend, we are one win and 15% ahead of Geelong.  Hopefully after tomorrow, we are two wins and a bit more % ahead of them.  Nice!  On the other hand, we must win tomorrow to maintain a % buffer over Hawthorn, and our other potential rivals.

Well I suppose he can still get home tonight. Just a days work. But it's good he has done that. Can get more being there live than seeing it off the tv. Plus it's only an hours flight away.

Yeah exactly right, it’s all quite possible but good to see he’s investing his time wisely.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
