Our form isn't great and have lost 4 games when leading by 20+ points, is  it Fitness or Attitude??

Will be very surprised if we make top 4 now and possibly lose our next 4 games to top 8 teams

    Finals start now. 8 weeks.

    2x blockbusters at the MCG.

    2x big Road-trips.

     Each game is against top 4 contenders.  

    Our record v bottom 8 teams. 11-0

    Our record v top 8 teams. 2-5. !!!!! 

    A lot of players need a rocket.  We thought 10-0 it was all just good enough. But the warning signs were there with 1/2 or 3/4 game efforts good enough.  Not any more !!! 

    Something is off.....they can't hold onto leads and have lost 4 games, even against the crows they took foot off the pedal and also against bottom teams.

    Fitness or Attitude?

    Christ. 

    Anyone who thinks we're likely to go 0-4 are delusional. 

    We should be winning two. And I'm hopeful we can win three. 

    We're a bloody good side, just need to get going. 

    No more injuries please.

    Yes we are good side but the reality is we keep given up 20+ point leads and have lost 4 games in the same fashion

    We will be going in as underdogs against all the remaining games against top 8 teams & will be lucky to win 1-2 of them based on current form.

    Only Geelong and Collingwood now right? Right?

    Yes and I think it would be best if this dominates the media and gets plastered across the papers.

    Cats always make finals given their quaintly shaped home ground where very few opposition fans can attend. 
    But what is their record at the G this year? Or any year and at any normal shaped and sized ground for that matter

    Cats also playing north, Weagles twice this year. 4 percentage boosters. 

    They also play 3 other teams outside the 8, port, saints and bullies twice. 

    Cats are home and away specialists.

    Our double up games are:

    • Freo finished 11th
    • Collingwood finished 17h
    • Port finished 3rd
    • Lions finished 4th
    • Bulldogs finished 2nd.

    Its the luck of the draw that Eagles slid, North stagnated while Freo and Pies have climbed giving us a tough run home and the Cats an easy run.

    But really if we can't beat Freo, Coll, Carlton and Lions (again) we don't deserve a double chance and won't last long in the finals.

    It is totally in our control.

    This time last year we lost too the dogs then went on our run so hopefully history repeats but that was against easy opposition apart from Geelong, on current form it’s hard to see us winning any of the 4 games

    If we were to drop all 4, what has to happen for us to miss the 8? Asking for a friend

    One of the Bulldogs Saints or Tigers have to win all 4 matches, make up % and also we have to lose all 4.

    Tell your friend that either Dogs, Tigers, or Saints have to run the table from here or we have to get smashed a couple times and then the Dogs can drop one and get over us.

    Assure your friend that if we lose the next 4 (ala 2004), our embarrassment will be a first week of finals exit…

    The Pies are on the same points as us. I actually feel sick. I've hardly ever wanted the Bombers to win more than I did tonight.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
