    Even if we finished in a ladder position to 'negotiate', we wouldn't have a true choice.  We'd nominate our preference and the the AFL would give us the slops and schedule the game at the worst possible time and venue for us.

    We would be the team that finished on top of the Eagles but still had to go play them in Perth. Fly in Fly out mind you.

    Its such a waste of a year.. there are the obvious losses to Sydney and Freo, who are not a bad side, but losses to Geelong by 3 points and the Lions by 4 points were probably the games that have cost us a finals spot. 

    The club needs to get really aggressive in the offseason, lose the dead weight, reinvigorate with some youth and a couple of good players. If they want to be a ruthless club, they go and make things happen.

    That’s ridiculous really. Gabba will be preferred by the Vic clubs.
    Week 1 should see 

    Power v cats - Adelaide Oval  Thurs night 7:10 CST 7:40AEST

    Lions v Tigers - Gabba  Fri night 7:40AEST

    Eagles v Dogs / Demons - Optus Stadium  Sat afternoon 4.30AEST  2.30WST

    Pies v Saints - Gabba - Sat night 7:40AEST

    Hard to see it as a waste of a year, when we finished 17th in 2019 and will most likely finish 8-10th in the cluster [censored] that is 2020.
    How much inconsistency did we come into this year with?

    Players that didn't/hardly played for MFC in 2019.

    May
    Tomlinson
    Langdon
    J. Smith
    Brown
    Jackson
    Rivers
    Pickett
    Bennell
    Vanders
    Sparrow

    Now how many of those have become a mainstay in this years team?
    You turn all of those players into regular players and expect miracles?

    Every AFL premiership side in... as long as I can remember. Have had one ingredient more obvious than any other, cohesion. The spine of the team have played between 50-100 games together. You can't keep chopping and changing and then expect results, doesn't happen that way.

    Since the best we can do is finish 8th, we wouldn't get a home final so it's a moot point.

    Anyway you look at it its been a waste, lost games we should have won, will very likely miss finals spot, wasted a year of Max Gawn dominance, Petracca having a career year and not capitalising losing members, member unrest more negative press than positive, Presidents getting involved, Coach on teh nose.. all could have been avoided had we not been the mentally week club that we are.

    How you can frame it any other way im not sure.

    Absolutely none of that correlates to the unintelligent line 'wasted year'. 

    You clearly prefer to look at things through a pessimistic glass, not a realistic one.

    That's called a goal, not a perspective.

    No it’s not a waste, but it is a Failed year

    We as a Club have to suck it up AND LEARN FROM IT, rather than walking away from it and/or blaming injuries

    • GAMEDAY: Port Adelaide

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
