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)

    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.

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

    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?

    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: 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

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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?
