Frawley and Scully late outs for the Hawks

Hmm, line up for conspiracy theory tickets here.

I think our best chance is the filth losing both games. Of course there is percentage to make up but do able. Dogs won't lose their last 2. And of course there is the fact that we will manage to blow it against the druggos.

Collingwood failing horribly would also be the most satisfying way to get into finals.  Only thing better would be annihilating Essendon and sneaking ahead of the Saints on percentage, ideally by about 0.57%.

Collingwood are starting to get key players back and we are relying on the Suns beating them.


Frosty still overcooking kicks......some things never change

Over to you Fremantle.

Exactly what I was going to say

The Dogs will catch our percentage with a roughly 50 point win, I believe (they're currently +15, we're currently +62). Depends on how much they score/concede but that's roughly the difference.

If they pass us on percentage then they could still lose to Fremantle and hold their spot over us if we win.

It's going to be tight if they belt Hawthorn.

The only percentage-irrelevant scenario is Collingwood losing both games.

No favors from the Hawks today. Another reason to dislike them more than i already do

If we win and WB get done next week then there needs to be 50pts plus next week's combined differential win over Hawks today, so you'd think 70pts or more

Either way, we need to win and win well next week to maximise our chances

The Bulldogs won’t lose the next two games.

Fremantle is a markedly better side than Hawthorn though.

But yes, it's not likely.

We are hoping for unlikely results because we failed to do the job ourselves.

Yes, the Dogs can do damage percentage-wise today but overall will need to factor in any damage we can do vs Essendon combined with the Dogs' loss to Fremantle.

 

Geez the Dogs are annoying me at the moment.

Firstly, they play the game of their season against us.

Secondly, they upset WC which was the game that will come back to haunt us.

Thirdly, unlike us they look switched on against a bottom side and are likely heading for a 10 goal win.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
