Freo caught us on a bad day. everything went right for them, and we were rubbish. Days like that can happen during the season. They are trending downwards and we're pushing top 2 so I suggest we all move on from that defeat.

We are Melbourne supporters, BDA - If that is your real name - bloodletting and hand wringing is our love language.

    However it does hurt to think that if we got the job done against Freo (and GC should've also), they would be truly trending bottom 4. 

    Now it's hard to think they will fall more than the 12-13th position on the ladder.

     

    15th looks likely to me…

    Do folks really think we are any chance to trade up for Reid? I don’t, and I also don’t think that should necessarily be the goal. One player has never been our strategy.

    If we had lots of “needs” in our team …I’d agree. But we don’t…so I’d absolutely go for him

    We do like to wallow.

    it might help people overcome the close/unlucky losses if they also acknowledged the close/lucky wins. The suns should have beaten us so for me the freo game balanced the ledger.

    Port and pies have been more consistent so far this season. They deserve to be top 2. We’re leading the chasing pack which, on balance is exactly where we deserve to be.

    In terms of picks there isn’t that much difference between 5-10 which is the range we’ll end up with. JT will do his thing and find a quality player for us.

    What a mundane summary of our season do far. 

    Suns were never in front and we had 5 more scoring shots. Plus the JVR fiasco stopped a good run at the start of the quarter which helped Suns get back in the game. 

    In the Freo game yes they played better footy but we kicked the game away in front of goal.

    Also I suppose you thought we were lucky on Monday?  Well Pies  and Power have been best to date but are they going to be able to  maintain the rage? 

    Monday proved ( like in 2021) our footy often improves vs the top sides and now that May Lever Salo Fritta and Gawny have hit consistent form like in 2021 we are a much better defensive group and tighter as a unit all over the ground. 

    We are categorically better than a 5 - 10 position and are up to our eyeballs in this flag race.

    You’ve figured out how to use spell checker which is great cos now your posts are legible.

    Now you just need to read others posts properly. Read what I wrote and have another go at responding.

    I was simply providing a different opinion on your post reflecting on close finishes and predicting a 5 -10 finish as what we are worth. 

    Completely different view with a half glass empty and yours not even half full. 

    Cheers for now!

    Not related but I saw maintain the rage and could only think of an episode of Rage that goes for a really long period of time.

    Next week

    Sydney vs Eagles

    Suns vs Hawks

    Freo vs Essendon

    This will make a lot of people feel dirty but we want an Essendon win to put freo back down to 14th. Blues have a bye and then face the Hawks. If they get up there and Freo also drop their following game against the dogs then we're back looking at a top 4 pick.

    Freo vs Carlton is a huge 8 point game and Freo's remaining games are against the Pies, Swans, Cats, Lions, Eagles, Port and Hawks.

    Eagles the only gimme game there.

    Tell your friend no one would ever be banned from BDSM, especially if they’re suffering with MFCS&M 😁 which is pretty much everyone on DL. Amirite!

    As we are today but let’s not forget that it’s not a level playing field as some teams have played 13 games and others 14.

    Hopefully the Giants (and Tigers) keep improving to weaken GWS' draft hand...

    Would put us in the front running for Reid...should we elect to go that way

    I did once coz DL (collectively) told me to. 😆

    At one point I caught myself muttering under my breath “come on Jake” (Stringer) and forgot all that’s good in the world. I knew I was mere minutes away from “come on Jakey” so I stopped barracking for them and it turned out we won the flag regardless. 😃

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
