    The Bombers are useless, the only way we’ll lose this is if Essendon win. 

    Margin please Ethan

    This reminds me of a similar story that had a happy ending OX. In 2005 on the last day of the season Celtic just had to win at Motherwell to win the title. We (Rangers) were also playing away against Hibernian in the capital. Celtic were a goal up with just a few minutes to go and we were also a goal up in Edinburgh. Enter stage left a certain Scott McDonald. He not only scored an equaliser but also the winner, deep into injury time. 

    The day is known as Helicopter Sunday as the chopper that was on it's way with the SPL trophy down to Lanarkshire had to change course mid flight and head east to Edinburgh instead. What makes the day so perfect is that Scott McDonald is an Australian international footballer and he son of a Celtic daft scottish dad that emigrated here.

    Hopefully the highlights today will include Melksham and Brown kicking a bag against their old Club and Hibberd, May and Lever stopping every entry into our back half! ?

    God hasn’t melksham had a free ride this season. FMD he has been in putrid form all season and never dropped but promoted to captain temporarily.
    Another awesome  decision by Goodwin.

    I hope the bummers give their transitional coach the same farewell game as we did to Paul Roos.

    It would be so Melbourne to lose this.  So Melbourne in fact that I don't think anyone here would be surprised.

    I'll be more surprised if we win, and even win well.

    Let's see if we can flip the script for a change.

    For what it's worth, I can't see the Dogs losing tomorrow, so today's outcome is almost a moot point, but it would be nice to be in the game for at least 24 hours longer.

    Hope the boys have been on the phone to Hogan and Angus' brother to fire them up a bit.

    If we win today, Freo can get it done.  They have have played good footy this year and are getting better. If we win Dogs will free more pressure to win and that "may" lead to more errors etc.  Anyway, we need tow in today first before thats become relevant.

    Yeah I can see us dogging it today but I can also see us getting it done because it's out of our hands now. Maybe it will be a draw 

    Been saying this for a while now....someone for us us going to kick a bag.

    Weid, Pickett or Fritta?

    Possibly Trac.

    Look we stuffed our final chances up when we lost those games earlier in the season and against freo and sydney but we do need to finish the season on a winning note even if the dogs knock us out tomorrow. 

    Beating essendon today and sending them off with a miserable loss would be awesome. Just to make the essenscum supporters be put through more misery.

    We should win today and win well. Well I hope so anyway. Losing the final game to them would leave a bad taste.

    Woke up in a great mood. Hoping to enjoy one last high-scoring win for the season and then maybe I can move on from my current coronavirus interrupted life. Probably won't watch tomorrow and just catch up with the news on Monday. If the Dogs win I'm unlikely to watch any finals for the first time in my life. Just put this [censored] season behind me and never think of it again. Go Dees!

    Not sure why people care. We got taught a football lesson by Fremantle and Sydney. We don't deserve to play finals. And I'm not all that motivated to play finals only for our lack of structure and defensive pressure to rear its ugly head again.

    No more excuses for Weideman. After showing improvement hes done nothing the last 3 weeks.

    Time for Sam to grow up and be a man and take the game by the balls today.  Youre 23 Sam not 18!

    One game at a time Skuit  it might turn out to be a good weekend The pressure will be on the Dogs with a win today. 

    Freo is a chance IMO. ×

    Agree on that one. His final against geelong we all thought he has broken though and that will set himself up now but he does need to establish himself more and take those marks.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
