Great.

The heart ache continues for one more week. I assumed that last night we would’ve been put out our misery.

GWS got arrogant at selection and will probably have a far stronger side on Saturday.

    Carlton didn’t deserve to play finals in 2013 either. Just saying...

    Just when you think you’re out you get pulled back in.

    What is happening? It’s like the twilight zone. Can’t see the bulldogs coughing up a spot though even if we roll GWS. And Carlton will reel Sydney in.

    So assuming we win our last two, basically we need one of the three to happen in order to make the eight:

    1) Pies lose both their last two games (GC and Port)

    2) Saints lose both their last two games (WCE and GWS)

    3) Dogs lose one of their last two games (Hawks and Freo)

    I actually think the most likely is the Dogs dropping one of their games. Hawks are due for a win I feel.

    Freo are a good chance to beat Bulldogs in Cairns on a dewy night.Great it's up there and not Metricon where they played the last 6/8,while we're Metricon,Alice Springs,Cairns,Cairns,Gabba,Metricon on mostly 4/5 day breaks!!!

    perhaps more likely is the dogs to lose to Freo in the last round - if we win our 2 last games we'll get in 8th assuming no big jumps in %

    Correct, if we win both of our last two games then any of the above three scenarios sees us make finals.

    The St Kilda scenario requires us to make up 7% on St Kilda. Given we'll be winning twice and they'll be losing twice from here, that is probably not that much of a stretch.

    The other two don't rely on percentage but obviously require upsets.

    The only relevant game to be played before we play GWS is St Kilda v West Coast on Thursday night. If St Kilda win that, we'll know we're down to only two of these options being available. But, in what I think is good news, we'll still have the Dogs and Collingwood games unplayed when it's our turn, so we won't know for sure. Means we can't get ahead of ourselves and hopefully helps us focus.

    Chances of us winning the last two? Not good I would think on past performance.

    If we win our last two, Carlton can only pass us by winning their last two and making up 9% on us.

    I wish I shared your optimism in winning the last two TU. I really do.

    Well that’s just excellent, Carlton win. Last time I looked swans were belting them. They’ll end up higher than us on the ladder. Good on you MFC

    Well done Lewis Taylor you fat moron. Missed dead in front from 30m out after milking a free.

    I'm not optimistic about us winning our last two at all. I'm barely optimistic about us winning even one of them.

    But, if we do win our last two, Carlton won't be passing us. 

    The pessimistic outlook would suggest this: we lose our last two, Carlton beats Adelaide, Fremantle beats North, and we end up 13th.

    Lewis should stick to stealing car seat belt buckles.

    That was Sydney's only score from the 3 minute mark of the third quarter onwards.

    Losing to them last week is an absolute disgrace.

    • 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.
