Dangerfield has never won a preliminary final. Suck eggs.

If he'd stuck around at Adelaide another few years, he would've played in a Grand Final. ?

    Lynch. What a Gun he is

    I reckon if Lynch is still at Gold Coast, Tiges weren't Winning tonight.

    Riewoldt just about cooked.

    I want the dees to be the team that knocks Richmond of their perch.

    I just hope over the pre season they realise what they missed out on this year, a wasted season compounded by seeing Geelong and Collingwood bradberry their way to Prelims and GF's respectively. 

    Irritates the poo out of me, it really does.

    Geelong are finished 

     

    I thought this last year when we stomped a mud hole right through them. Nah they will top up again and again till Danger, Country bumkin and sulkwood hang em up. 

    Another year or two and they will be well and truely French connectioned.

    The best allround midfielder leaving don't help much.

    If there’s an example of a footy club just like the MFC that was in turmoil & going around in circles for decades, burning coaches and able turn it around with getting in the right people & recruiting the right players. Just look at Richmond.

    Richmond’s injury ravaged year??? They were in 8th battling at 7-6 with about 4-5 key players out.  

    Higgins and Rance were out for the year. Sure two important players but able to cover especially Higgins as a small forward. 

    But otherwise they had a healthy list.  

    Once Riewoldt Cotchin and Houli were back, it was like 2017.  Winning the last 9 games and now two finals   

    My point.  Ffs keep a healthy list and it’s possibly the most important rule for success. Not guaranteed but a big help. 

    Perhaps that’s why I am strangely really appreciating the filfthy Pies run.  They have been hit hard by injury but have marched on.  Beams Cox Langdon Greenwood De Goey are all best 18 types but are missing. Can they still win it?

    Geelong are an ageing team. They have eight key players over 30 next season including stars like Dangerfield; Ablett; Taylor; Hawkins and Selwood. They will also lose Kelly. They have not had a top draft pick for a generation. If Melbourne don’t go past them next year with a number two draft pick and a soft draw for being the second worse team this year what hope do we have. It would be an absolute indictment after years of rebuild if Dads army are better than us.

    Except thanks to the corrupted regime that runs the game and picks and chooses who gets priority picks and where they get them, it won’t be a number two draft pick.

    Yes agree a bit like Toby Greene not getting rubbed out after Dogs game. The AFL did bank roll ROOS & Jackson but that only happened after we embarrassed their brand.

    That keeps getting said, like when the last batch of Bartel, Stevie J, Enright, Scarlett, Mackie, Corey, Chapman etc left and yet they keep playing finals.

    They are a well managed club, like the Hawks and keep contending.

    As with the MRO and Tribunal, an Independent, ex GC Suns official, will decide if they get pick 2 as a PP.

    When you say we were " bankrolled", who isn't? We get much less than a lot of other clubs.

    Yes, but like the Hawks they are just sitting around the middle of the pack, not really contending and delaying the inevitable.

    ...at some stage Geelong is not going to be a destination club and be back to plain old "sleepy hollow"...

    Hawks are a middle tire team now. Knocked out in straight sets last year and didn't even make finals this year. Let's not pretend Hawks 

    As already mentioned, they have 8 key players over 30. There time is coming. We'll start to see that next year.

    In awe of Houlis’ game - one of the best from a half back that I have seen. He’s a gun.

    You wonder how so called  “football experts “ can’t see the quality in a player playing for them over several seasons.

    Always helpful when you can cherrypick the cream.

    Gee if you saw hawkins in the rooms last night, if you were a player or Chris Scott you would be fuming. You would almost want to go up to him and say hope that hit was worth it because you let us down.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
