I literally laughed out loud and had to explain to my husband what the hell this meant. 
He said “you’re deranged” 😂

First off I think "deranged" is reserved for WCW. Secondly, you should explain the term " schadenfreude" to him. Thirdly, if he fails to appreciate your highly refined sense of humour, I suggest he might not be a "keeper" (unless he is a MFC supporter of course)

Too many mights

 

Must prioritise ladder position over draft pick at this point in time. Go Freo next weekend and go Geelong!

I don’t think Lions can win next week against Freo but I’d expect Port to give some form response against Geelong. Was touch and go with Alir potentially missing - who knows maybe some delayed concussion.

As I mentioned in another thread it is interested to hear migraine being mentioned instead of concussion regarding the Port head clash incident.

The Suns have done us a massive favour, but unfortunately Freo's win may give them a bit of confidence heading into the final few games

Their only home games are against teams above us so they can go for it. They definitely win against WCE. Maybe the Hawks but that’s at the G in the last round - we will see how motivated they are. I think they win 2 on the way home but still finish 15th on percentage.

Honestly if they’re motivated enough to beat Brisbane and Port, they’ll do us a solid. 

If Freo can knock off Port and Brisbane I would be more than happy to slip a couple of spots in the draft.

 

I have been thinking about theme song for this thread. Because it needs one. 

And found one, with both a death riding AND nautical vibe (tricky to find a track with both elements).

Then the anchors (deliberate rhyming slang) beat the Cats and scuppered that for this week.

Or, so I thought"

Thanks to the Suns, i now give you (by the by, a brilliant track from one of the greatest ever AO rock records @whatwhat say what):

Death ship 

I am the captain of a ghostly crew,
Sail the seven seas with nothing to do.
The girl that I thought was untrue
Really loved me

Near hidden reefs we appear in the gloom
Luring mariners to their doom.
As we're condemned, we condemn others too.
Who would love me? Who? Would You?
I'm asking you.

I'm on the Death Ship,
I sail the seas alone.
Death Ship, I can call no port home.
Lost souls cry to Hell in the wind
Let us in, let us in, let us in!

I need somebody who will die for me
To free me of this misery.
I need someone who will cry for me
Really love me, really.

How didn't Allir Allir come off after that hit? that was terrible use of the concussion protocols.

Looks like Port has a very bad history of managing concussions, surely the AFL will step in? 🙄

Hang on Fremantle still have pick 21. Where have they been hiding that? I want that too. C’mon Freo, hand it over.

Amazing what a Dockers win has done to this thread which I found on Page 3.

Anyway, this is how things stand with four rounds to play:- IMG_4189.thumb.jpeg.0312de826378085a7d11cea78ece5e5b.jpeg

We win a flag and get pick 4?

What sorcery is this?

People surely want Freo to win so we can go ahead of Brisbane on the ladder....right?

Nah we just need to win by 15 goals more than the lions.

Absolutely.

But on top of that I want GC to beat Adelaide so there is some kind of buffer above Freo.

I get the humour in your post, but we need to get a game clear of the Lions for insurance purposes, not just percentage.

Nah, we will win our last four and pass lions the lions on percentage - even if they beat Freo and happen to beat the pies at Marvel (which i think they may well do). 

What we need is a high scoring bruising, niggly encounter that the lions win by a point. Though i'd take a draw.  

And i wouldn't mind Zorko getting weeks for hitting however tags Neale out of the game and/or gets into his face all game about being a loud mouthed, whining thug.   

The Freo Lions game is late Sunday arvo in Perth, which means a late flight out of Perth for the the lions and players back in their own beds at 3am on the Monday.

The Lions play the crows at the gabba on the following Saturday, so a six day break. They are favs for that game, but the Crows, who have a 7 day break, won't be easy to beat.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
