    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

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
