You'll need 13 to play finals this year, because the last couple of sides are so bad.  Port would need 7 from 9 from here. Unlikely but not impossible.  It's been a good effort by them after being 0-5.

Footy gods are smiling at the MFC so far this weekend. 

When is the last time the Cats won after the bye round. Is it as long as it seems.

We have seen Blues, Swans and Saints lose to clubs outside the 8 this round. As we saw last season many top 8 clubs dropped games to lower sides in second half  in particular to those that still have a chance of making finals. Ladder predictor will become less predictable as we enter the latter stage of season.

Nah, it’s the presentation game day, of working hard on the track. It’s not about god, it’s about science…

Swans had plenty of time left when they got back to 23, Port was very desperate after that and it was good to watch.

Port can’t afford to reload this season and will ultimately fall away towards the tail end. That’s whAt 0-5 does to you.

But FMD where was this Swans outfit 2 weeks ago. Even with our poor form we would have beaten them by 6 goals. 
 

Just [censored] me how every round a side brings their utmost best against us especially when we needed a break. Suppose the boys wouldn’t want it any other way.

Hilarious that the Water Closet Eagles are level with the Cats at the break. They will surely get run over in the second half but at least it won't be a % booster for Geelong.

an attempt at a play on words only Bro. very poor attempt. Wasn't a comment about you or your post in anyway. :-) 

No worries mate - my vision was a little err ...... "blurred" ... at that time.

Geelong should win but can the eagles keep it as close as possible to stop the cats % climb.

I can’t stand the Cats but boy I really love their f50 connection. They move it as slow as we do but they just find the space for Hawkins all the time. His not terribly quick but he plays the role perfectly.

If We could build connection like that, then BBB, Fritt and even Weid will be able to kick bags. The bomb and hope has to be eliminated from our game style.

And that is predictable 🙄

WCE at least pushing the arrogant Cats ….. maybe those here who complained that we didn’t beat them by 100 points can rethink.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
