X2. This is what I want to and get the same result as 1964.

And we made 5 changes after winning the prelim. Mind you, 4 were injured.

 

Smart move by Freo to stay on the East Coast until their finals end. 

If they didn't and kept winning they would fly Perth-Melb-Perth-Syd-Perth-Melb over a two week period where they have just 6 or 7 day breaks between games. 

Now they go Perth-Melb-Syd-Melb and stay here until they are knocked out.  Its a bit like the hub/fortress we created last year, reducing distractions.  While unlikely it could be galvanising enough to get through to the GF.

Things have changed, gotta be portable now. Your own bed is overrated anyway 😝


Freo please please win. You won't have much support today & be booed by ferals but the majority of Victoria are willing you to win.

Freo are really the only team I want to win it. I could just handle Brisbane beating geelong next week.

Nothing would make me feel more to see Collingwood and geelong in a gf

This game is breathless. The pies going for the jugular straight from the get go. They won't die wondering I'll give them that

C'mon Freo

 

Fremantle haven’t been that bad but find themselves down four goals already. Collingwood can really hurt you on turnover. 


The Pies speed on the ball is catching everyone out, but like our strength behind the ball last year it’s also the opportunity. I’d be very confident that by mid next year coaches have figured out Collingwood. Might be better to give up clearances and have more numbers back. Let them run themselves ragged and trust that their run and gun style will give you opportunities on the rebound.

Why can’t Goodwin play an open Forward Line? It’s the best way to use The MCG

The Filth are just running with the ball, it ain’t hard to work out

With Tracc, Clarry and Viney in the middle I hust don’t understand why we always have a congested Fwd Line

Collingwood have so many fast runners in their midfield and backline which we lack other than Langdon. And they play on so quickly which opens up so many options, I feel like we did that last year.

Freo’s forward line is as dysfunctional as ours.

Their inside 50 entires are just deplorable as ours.

Collingwood are a team that plays the G beautifully.

He's got a defensive mindset, kick to a packed pocket so there is less of a chance for opposition to hurt you with turnovers

Which was mostly ineffective at The MCG all year. I am looking from outside. Inside the Club they live and breathe it, but i just don’t understand, particularly after TMac went down. Give Fritsch and Brown the Arc

and the Filth get another one


FREO are garbage and Brayshaw for a Brownlow favourite very very avg

HTB is such a raffle, these finals 

Too many pinged for incorrect disposal when the ball gets knocked out in the tackle.

Speed kills on the G and we don't have enough of it. At the game and the Pies are so quick. Also leaving Elliot deep forward makes the Dockers second guess their defensive structure. We need fresh outside legs and fresh ideas in the box as well.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
