Gutsy win by the Filth.  Elliot was superb.  Sidebottom, Pendles and Noble also solid.

I really don't get the eating their own on Buckley.   Took them to within a kick of a Premiership.  They were always going to come off the boil list wise after being thereabouts for so long.

This.

When someone is outside 50 metres and takes 30 second to take a shot with no chance of kicking it with a minute to go it a mockery. Totally kills the game.

I really hate the filth  but I agree with jaded in that there is some solutions to them winning this one before we play them. I would be looking for a comfortable win at the MCG but at that krappy little shizenhausen the SCG I am not so sure.

Good for Collingwood to win their grand final tonight. They look very pleased with themselves. Can’t wait to belt them next week

They will be favorites now against us. they did beat the only team to beat us so logic should prevail....

Again I say watching that insipid performance by the crows it's so embarrassing we lost to them. My god that keys player smashed us and in the final quarter he couldn't use it properly. 

That last passage where they had to go forward they were handballing backwards. Not running through the centre. Also walker had a mare kicking 2-6. Where was that inaccuracy weeks ago?

This. We could so easily be undefeated right now

It was a flash in the pan. They happened to play out of their skin the same day we were off. And they still only managed to beat us by one point with help from the umpires. We've since beaten the teams in second and third so no point dwelling on it. We have plenty to look forward to whereas the Crows have played their grand final already.

I would rather lose to a nothing team that won’t get anywhere near the 8, than lose to a top side in direct competition with us for a top 4 spot. 
Losing to Adelaide is a blimp on the radar and nobody will remember it in September, nor would it matter. 
Losing later in the season to Port or West Coast or Geelong would be far more costly.

Tigers looks pretty good also

Essendon’s has so many colours but they’re all red. 50 shades of red.

Bear in mind we weren't in the richest vein of form at the time, just hanging on in games. I choose to think the loss was the catalyst to kicking us back into gear for the 2 massive games that followed. Plus the 'undefeated' tag becomes a monkey on the back - while I hated losing the Adelaide game, as least we got a loss out of the way.

That Andrew Phillips goal... did Mclachlan say “it’s a goal. His first. He’s equalled his career high.” ???? Maybe I imagined he said that. I hope I imagined he said that.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward. Date of Birth: 16 April 2003 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 41 Goals MFC 2024: 30 Career Total: 58 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
