And there goes our percentage buffer. Geelong now ahead of us on percentage. Thanks Freo!

Well I hope that this stimulates our guys to pull their collective fingers out and crush the Hawks.

I noticed that Geelong has a small "1859" on the back of their jumper at the top (the GPS pocket).

I don't think we have any reference to 1858 on ours, would be good as love the claim of being the oldest football club. Poor old Geelong forever have to be the "second oldest" muhahaha

Maybe we should have a gold star for every premiership on the jumper. Thinking a logo that incorporates multiple elements of our heritage would also be great

I noticed that Freo had gold stars on their jumpers last night. It didn’t help them.

Endless search for perfection’: Scott optimistic scary Cats can get even better

This is a headline from The Age after the decimation of Fremantle. Fremantle played bad for sure but are plagued by injuries and are not a top 8 side. Darcy and Fyfe both played with injuries. Rory Lobb went out injured. Walters a mere shadow of his devastating past. Talk about us drinking bathwater. Theirs must taste real good. A decade of beating up  poor sides only to wimp out in finals, that is Geelong.

If ever there was a reason to want to finish top of the table it is to deny this bunch of flogs

Really?

That could equally describe us last 15 years. We were irrelevant for at least a decade. Glass houses

How many GFs have we played in the last 15 years? How many  brownlows? AAs? Any other measure?

Be respectful of our failures as much as other club's failures. Show humility, our current success could easily fade. 

Be Respectful of The Shockers ??

Why? What have the done since 1995

The MFC has won 12 Flags so i don’t see any connection. 
 

Don’t tell me how I should think Stiff

It is looking more and more likely we will have to beat the Cats in finals to win the flag.  they are the form team of the comp, 9-1 in the last 10. they are clear favourite for the flag imo despite how much I despise them

Didn't they get done by 10 goals against Brisbane? They'll get killed against sides who can bring the heat as per usual.

Was it just me or was the umpiring completely biased to Geelong?  The shockers did themselves no favours, but as a neutral observer the umpire bias was breathtaking 

I only watched a few minutes and it was non-frees, for throwing and other incorrect disposals, that blew my mind.  Every time I watch Geelong they get away with it.

They looked putrid against the lions. I rated them highly until I watched that game, but no longer.

The trend of this season seems to be over analysing results when the top 4-6 teams absolutely maul the sides below them. It is meaningless (although I do really hope we join in)!

Why stop there? Our players should be living our heritage when they are off the field, but representing our club.☝

Is there an item of clothing we could get them to wear pre game and in media appearances that would fit the bill? A jacket of some variety perhaps???

hope you are right.  they have beaten dogs, port away etc.  so I dont think you can dismiss them so quickly

The positive thing is I think we match up well against them. once we bring the pressure to not let them control the tempo we have the talent around the ground

I wouldn't be making any conclusions about Geelong based on the game last night. Freo's performance reminded me of the bad old demons. 

And if Freo continue to deliver putrid performances like they did last night it won;t be long before Justin Longmuir comes under the spotlight. They were unwatchable last night.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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
