Never thought I'd be saying "go poos and wees"  !!!

When you want other teams to win for us they generally lose. Yes I know plenty on here will post we should worry about ourselves and win our own games.

    Gawn, May, Petracca, Oliver, Langdon, Brayshaw, Lever and Salem are probably our best and the 3 newbies all look good.

    Agree with most of that, but not convinced on Kossi yet. Might be too early to tell. Interesting that only one of them is a forward and only a part time one at that.

    Those late 2 St Kilda goals were very costly.

    The only way we’re playing finals is if we can chase down St Kilda’s percentage assuming they lose their last 2 games, and the Dogs lose tonight.

    If we win all three games (however unlikely that is) we make it

    We could possibly make it with 9 wins if the Saints have a couple of solid losses against quality sides and the Dogs lose tonight.

    St Kilda are actually vulnerable given their tough run home.

    Essendon got to the ground an hour before the game. 3.5 hour trip from the Goldy. Started like we did.

    If Collingwood lose to Gold Coast, that would also leave the door ajar. Gold Coast are no easy beats this year, and I'm still not keen on Collingwood's form.

    Watching Essendon is the perfect remedy for the blues I've got after Thursday's game. At least we aren't them is all I will say.

    Good clubs don’t make excuses.

    We continue to make excuses and remain a loser club.

    Has anyone at the club said anything about the fixture or the flying into Cairns?

    As far as I'm aware, no.

    The only people mentioning it are supporters.

    FWIW, we've had as hard a fixture as anyone this year. I heard someone previewing the Dogs-Eagles game tonight saying that the Dogs have a 4-3 record at Metricon this year. That's 7 games at the same venue - we haven't played more than 2 games at any venue all year. There is, in my view, no doubt at all that we've had to do it tougher than most in terms of moving around, acclimatising to conditions and ground sizes, and trying to get some sort of consistency to our "home" games.

    None of that is enough to explain the Sydney performance, but it is a factor to consider when the season is said and done.

    So mathematically let alone probability wise that's the end of the Bomber's season.

    Assuming our final round is a dead rubber who would you pick ?

    Round about now I would have a hammy if I were a bombers player. You could relax and enjoy the weather on the gold coast for the next couple of weeks.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
