Giants will have it won by half time, please feel free to prove me wrong MFC (and I don't mean GWS to have it won by 3/4 time!!!!!!)

 

can't see us getting close to gw$ regardless of how trash they've looked for the majority of this season

god i hate that franchise

Mmmm, it does have a vibe, as though those whom are in contract are checked out, and those who are playing for a contract (for the Dee's or elsewhere) may just raise the bar a bit in the energy stakes and play for themselves.

You wake up on game day and hope your side wins. Problem is I think we will get thrashed but then again have not watched alot of GWS. Prove me wrong melbourne.

If it is Jettas last game they should break their balls for him. Been a great clubman.

    so which melbourne football team will turn up today, the one that will play good football and get us all excited about the possibility of playing finals, or the one where we are a top 8 side playing a bottom side and who capitulates. Until about 2 weeks ago i had hoped we had turned the corner and were starting to play some good consistent football, with some awesome patches and  I looked forward to us playing a major part in the finals. But if these players cannot rise to the occasion with finals on the line against bottom dwellers then our chances not only this year but in future years is grim. 

    Jetta still has a year to run on his contract, he may not be an automatic inclusion into our best 22 every week but I imagine he’ll get the occasional game next season.

    Our last 2 games were losses because of intensity and effort. I can't see what has changed just because our President had a crack publicly, we are trying different players, and an Age journo has done a trifling fluff piece about power plays behind the scenes. 

    We will probably win well this week, then get thrashed next week. This is Melbourne way. I have spoken. (kudos to the Mandalorian!)

    Not a bad show Mb38

    hope so

    We were to play them round 2 off the back of the WC debacle.  They were in decent form and we were trash.  We have peaked and come back to baseline, and they have gotten worse.  Probably better to play them now on the off chance we bring something today.


    We’ve had plenty of passengers the last 2 games but I can’t see us winning tonight if Weideman has another poor game. He needs to lift otherwise I don’t see where the goals are going to come from.

    This team doesnt have it in them.

    Easily beaten the past 2 weeks by poor teams shows we have already checked out.

    That and Goodwin.

     

    Our season ended a couple of weeks ago.

    To the CEO and The Board

    Why???

    The game will be all over by quarter time!


    no idea who's worse, us who threw our season away against non finals sides when we had everything to play for or them who lost to the bottom side last week and dropped their captain who's on $7m....

    I've mentally checked out - unfortunately there is nothing else to do tonight so I'll put myself through this torture once more

    Nope. In true Melbourne style we win the next 2 and get pushed out by the doggies.

    Keeps looking like he will break out but still not certain if he will be a star.

    Most premier sides have a coleman eligible player. Maybe it will be him or maybe Jackson. The latter has shown better form earlier.

    Perhaps we should just lure one (although theres not many about).

    I have no idea why, but I think we will win tonight.

    Full disclosure: I said that the last 2 games.


    Has there been a club media ban this week ? No podcast from Gawny or Talking Points interview from Benny G. Haven't noticed any radio interviews either.

    On form i would not be laying money on either team!  This is the "flaky" cup playing for a flake bar as the prize.  

    On paper they should absolutely murder us....10 goals+

    There is a blueprint to beat GWS though and it has been laid out well by other teams.  Control the centre square, push them long and down the line, take away their run and gun style they love to play.   I actually think they seem scarred from their recent GF loss, which was maybe worse than our prelim vs WC few years back.

    If we come in a with a solid game plan we will beat this mob despite them having lot more talent.  If we come in with anything less we will miss out on the flake bar.  I love/hate this club haha!

    I would play Nev as a defensive forward. Think he might surprise.

     

    Giants have made too many changes to win this. I’m actually confident we’ll beat them by 20+ points.

    Still think we’re doubtful for finals though unless Clarko pulls a rabbit out of the hat to beat the dogs.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
