    Even if we finished in a ladder position to 'negotiate', we wouldn't have a true choice.Ā  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 theĀ obvious losses to Sydney and Freo, who are not a bad side, but losses to Geelong by 3 points and theĀ Lions by 4 points were probably the games that have cost us a finals spot.Ā 

    The club needs to get really aggressiveĀ in the offseason, lose theĀ 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.

    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 thatĀ 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 capitalisingĀ 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'.Ā 

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

    No itā€™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

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFLā€™s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.Ā

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      Iā€™ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we wonā€™t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything youā€™d like to ask or say below and weā€™ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics youā€™d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
