23 points is hardly a blow out

It kinda is when compared to the results of the other three matches. 😁

    If Fremantle end up with LJ their going to have an amazing core of young talent. Brayshaw’s work rate is off the charts.

    Yep. The only game that was basically done at 3/4 time. As a supporter I knew we were gone. Such a disappointment.

     

    However I firmly believe we played the best team in it by far. Swans will win the flag. 

    Our game was the best balance of defence and scoring until three quarter time, when the game was despite your MFCSS well and truly alive.

    It was clearly done after Heeney's goal, if not earlier after the Melksham miss. Melksham kicks that (for him, routine) set shot though, and who knows what happens.

    Time will tell whether Sydney's the best side in it. They looked like it this weekend, but Geelong had insane levels of pressure on them going in and perhaps that will be freed for the prelim (obviously I hope that's not right).

    7 goals to 2 after half time 

    Kicked the last four of the second as well so 11 to 2 after the twenty minute mark of the 2nd.

    Do we give freo any chance next week.

    The whole of Melbourne bar pies fans will be going for freo surely 

    They've won their last four and only lost twice on the road all year 

    Having said that, the Dogs are a number of levels below Collingwood and indeed all other finalists, so it's very easy to get fooled by that comeback.

    Can't say I feel sorry for the Dogs at all. In fact, I take a degree of joy from that.

    I also take a degree of joy from that… a HUGE degree. 
    And I’m happy for Nat Fyfe and Gussy’s lil bro. 🙂

    If they play like they did from late in the second quarter they could.

    How was the crowd noise & support for Freo, not that it makes any difference apparently

    Suck [censored] Doggies get back in your kennel!

    Great comeback by Freo and best round of finals matches I can remember. Every game had intensity and there were some tight finishes too. Gotta love footy!

    And this is why we’re not out of it yet. This first week showed anything can happen, some luck and getting right on the day who knows. We’re 1of 6 left.

    Switching sides in the final draw might even help us a bit.

    Still picking a Swans v Demons GF. Said it before the game yesterday regardless of the result. Today just reaffirmed this - Geelong aren't that good. Also think Freo could genuinely knock off Collingwood next week, albeit it only extends either's season by a week

    Its amazing you know one side will be favored in most matches but the same side week after week after week.

     This fact makes you so sad for the umpires themselves. How must they feel? Week in, week out; in every fixture of the season played by the Doggies; for several seasons and possibly, the season to follow the current 2022 year. So why am I so sad for the umpires, you ask? It is because - across the board - they have expended so much carbon dioxide and oxygen when blowing the whistle to announce a Doggies free kick (usually out of the blue), or to see an infringement in the Doggies' favour that no-one else saw/dreamt up or uncannily created any related stoppage that may give the Doggies some advantage over their opponents at any stage of any match - and still, the Doggies are losers. Wasted effort.

    I reckon:

    1. Sydney will have no issues with either Collingwood or Fremantle (though if I were Sydney I'd definitely be barracking for Fremantle to upset Collingwood, just to avoid any potential Collingwood close game hairiness)
    2. Geelong will blow Brisbane off the MCG if they get the Lions in the prelim. It will non-competitive
    3. But if Geelong get us in the prelim...

    I'd have much rather we won last night and given ourselves a week off to recuperate before getting either Fremantle or a chance at revenge over Collingwood. But we have no choice but to dust ourselves off and launch ourselves at our bunnies. Hopefully some start to pump up Brisbane's tyres, as is common for the EF winner against the QF loser, so that the pressure is released from us a bit. If we can make the prelim, we'll be underdogs, which might suit us perfectly.

    How about a dockers demons gf. That would be ok.

    • 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?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
