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.

    "Gee Rage is going a while tonight. Oh good, they're into the top 20,000!"

    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: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
