He's really got the yips. He's Ian Baker-Fritsch.

I'd give Mitch Brown another contract in a heartbeat if I had to make the decision. Surprisingly intelligent footballer.

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.

That’s prob a once in a life time opportunity and you had the good ending u lucki bugger.

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.

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.

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

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.

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. ×

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!

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.

You care.

And don't even try and deny it.

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
