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. ?

    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.

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

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

    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).

    Injury watch: Lycett and Vardey not doing great.

    Max Gawn would be licking his lips.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
