An article in today's Age on the North Melbourne win and Brown's bag of goals states " North's final round opposition comes in the form of pitiful Melbourne. The medal is Brown's to lose"

I just hope we pick a side that is passionate enough to show some fight and pride and provide some glimmer of hope for we long suffering supporters.

We  won"t! Just watch Oscar if fit line up on him!

Fred Fannings record of 18 goals is there for the taking!!

    For those that are going to Blundstone, prepare for 25 minute waiting time for a beer or pie and 15 minute waiting times to take a leak. I shudder to think of the waiting time for the ladies...

    A disgrace of an AFL venue.

    Also be prepared to wait 25 minutes for Melbourne to score a goal each Qtr so co-ordinate your movements.

    put spargo on brown and we can all back brown to win the coleman.

    Not a bad idea.

    Was also hoping we'd rest Gawn this week and give little Charlie the gig on Goldstein.

    Is our 186 defeat in danger of getting beaten? 

    If it is, Goodwin should clear out his office and say his farewells.

    Oscar McDonald should play.

    Will give Sideshow Bob an escort to each of his 20 marks, and gives us a tall to stand the mark for each of the 15 goals he kicks.

     

    Sounds like Max will play (?WTF??!!).

    Chandler is out with a broken finger (how many times did Goody have to slam it in the locker, do you reckon?)

    SHould play Preuss and OMAc.  Play Max forward, Omac on McFlopper and Frosty on Norton.

    Presumably O'Mac and Petty come back in for ... whoever. We need some height, and they're the only ones left standing. One goes forward, one goes back, take your pick.

    Preuss ... maybe, he's been so underwhelming. Depends on Max.

    Rather see Spargo in the team at CHBack than have OMac back in the team...anywhere at all!

    Dont rest Max its the last game of the season, it would mean a lot to not get destroyed.

    Insanity. 

    Rest the f$&@ out of Gawn (and Lever). 

    Further to this, if Max does play and sustains a serious hamstring injury, Goodwin gets the sack immediately.

    Salem and Hibbo both in the rehab group today apparently. Could just be a light run given the time of year of course, but Salem surely in big doubt.

    Out 

    1. Inept Coaching
    2. Inept selections
    3. Players that clearly are not and never will be up to it ( That accounts for about 7 )

    In 

    1. Man on man footy
    2. Selections that include TALLS
    3. Inspirational Captaincy
    4.  Gut busting running and tough footy

    Who ever is still standing..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Get ready for a 10 goal loss, or more. The Kangas will murder us, for sure.

    I reckon they will think they have it won already and could be vulnerable....

    Footy can become that way, '...anyone who is fit...' gets a guernsey; sad really. I cannot remember (ever) feeling this way about a footy season - '...so this nightmare year is over...'

    If the MFC turns a corner with form and game readiness, I will renew membership after the 5th round of the 2020 fixture.

    What I'd really like to see is players who dominate at Casey play in the seniors in the same positions in which they dominate the seconds. In other words, I'd like to see what ANB and JKH might do as proper on-ballers rather than being played in different positions. I'm not sure who else, but I've never understood why they aren't given that opportunity or, conversely, why they don't play at Casey in the role they are expected to play in the seniors.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
