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 ?

    If its a dead rubber, us.  If we're alive and Essendon is dead, we all know the result ...

    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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
