Holy [censored].. GWS dropping this game and by a big percentage means that this game is a HUGE must win game.

Its simple, we beat Collingwood, we go to 8th spot.

C'mon Dees let's dare to dream!

If this outcome doesn’t provide added incentive I don’t know what will. 
 

Simply

Must

Win.

A win doesn't guarantee us a spot in the 8 - if Essendon beat St Kilda they'll take it and we'll stay 9th (with GWS 10th).

Doesn't change the fact that this game for us this weekend is huge.

Hmmm. When was the last time we had such a massive game with a lot riding on it against Collingwood...?

Yep, that draw really [censored] everything up. Saints can easily drop this game Gresham being an out for them is huge.

Last game of 2017. We should have eaten Collingwood up which would have given us a finals gig. Expectations was high to beat them comfortablyand we failed miserably.

I want the saints to lose this week. Round 13 sees essendon play Richmond and the saints play the lions.

If we can muster a win against the pies and the dogs we will leapfrog both teams whilst making life really hard for the pies and essentially knocking the dogs out of the finals race.

GWS ... 2 goals from 'free kicks' ... free in every sense of the word.

These umps have NFI. 

The umpiring was dreadful tonight.

Summed up by the 3rd goal from a free to GWS...

Just dreadful...

Sydney opened the door to the eight  and has given us that chance to be even more motivated. We cannot afford to slip up now.

This is a great opportunity for us to make a statement. Let's ruffle some feathers .

Agree - obviously all depends on whether we can beat teams in the 6-12 range but I think St Kilda are vulnerable as they still have games against Bris, us and West Coast.

The Swans have pretty much taken the Ferrari keys right out of GWS hands, tied a red ribbon on them and ditch them in the Dees direction to take advantage of the opportunity to floor it into the 8.

If the giants were a vic based team they would be under so much more scrutiny.

On one hand we have only beaten teams currently 12th or lower.or the other hand we have let to the top 4 plus the tigers. 
 

The season is poised beautifully to see where we really sit as we play 7 teams in roughly this middle group.

If we can't beat teams in the 6-12 range then we don't really deserve a spot in the 8. We have a [censored] load of 8 point games coming up, keep winning and the ladder will take care of it's self

Long run I don't think Essendon can compete for a finals spot. They've got too many games to come against the strong sides and I'm not convinced, at all, they can win enough of them to get to 10.

And yes, I was hinting at Round 23 2017. This isn't as important given it's not a clear cut of "win and in", but it's still the most important game we've played this year.

That Essendon draw did us no good at all.

Had Essendon lost it would have opened up 2 spots in the 8 for us to take...Pies and Saints with both Bombers and Suns trailing us.

Bombers beating the Saints is good but it gives the Bombers a big leg up. If Saints win it gets harder to take their spot.

Lose to Collingwood and we will be well out of the 8.

Looking increasingly likely we will need ten wins to make the 8 which is probably at least one win too many for us.

LH I believe a Blues win is best for us as it puts to bed any chance of Freo making the 8 and we are yet to play them

GWS are vulnerable but hard to see them losing to the Swans

GWS now in mix do maybe 3  spots

Leon Cameron will surely go at seasons end.    Surprised hes lasted so many years actually.

 He was just handed the most insanely talented list ever with endless high end draft picks and assets and all he has to show is a 12 goal Grand Final loss.

Interesting that Geelong get a free after laying a dangerous tackle. Seems that even after all of the discussion following ANBs case, it still comes down to outcome and not action.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
