Toughest possible run home. We never have any luck with the fixture.

We had to play these teams at some point. 2/3 games at home is ok I would’ve thought?

My first thought was what a load of bs - as we always seem to get the best teams (conferences or not) - but the only way we get to finals is for teams above us to lose, so may as well be us who beats them.

If ladder positions don't change, and i reckon they won't, we'll have played all of the top 6 and only 3 from the bottom half.

Ahhh...yes...for some reason I was thinking everyone plays everyone once. Forgot it’s only a 9 round season. ?‍♂️

Let's face it we are stuffed no finals for us this year.

Without looking into it, at first glance looks like we have been shafted bad 

Would of thought 2 against top teams and at least 1 against lower team not all 3 against top 3 sides

3 of the top 4 come on afl what a joke

Its time the Melbourne coach makes a few changes,  its time for daisy to go forward or in the middle even forward, I would like to see Bannon tried in the middle too ,  zanker to chb, hore should be main target up forward with daisy

None of those teams are unbeatable. If we are serious about wanting to be a top team, we need to play against and beat the best in the competition. Meandering half heartedly through games against the likes of Gold Coast and Richmond does nothing for us. 

Time for our senior players to stand up and for Stinear to throw things around.

Brutal draw. I suppose they decided that because we've played Richmond and Gold Coast we don't get the byes against Geelong and West Coast as well.

Given that we have zero depth I reckon it's lights out unless we beat the Saints and win at least one of the others. North has a reasonably tough run too. Their game against Footscray could prove important. Given that the Dogs have the free win against Richmond in the last round we probably want them to win so we can concentrate on jumping the Roos into eighth.

Bloody Carlton are 10 points up against Freo heading into the last quarter. If they see this game out they have games against the suns and GWS to come. You’d favor them to win those them which would leave them on 6 wins. They sneak ahead of us after again having a much easier fixture (we’ll have played 3 of non-finalist teams whereas they’ll have played 5).

Come on Freo!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
