Freo finishing 4th or 5th last we be a dream but It ain’t happening. They are better than this and will still finish somewhere in 9-12. Still gives us a top 10.

    Suns are already above them, I'm getting greedy now and want Carlton to leap frog Freo in the coming weeks.

    Understand I was confused because I loathe Carlton.

    I don’t know if it’s already been asked, but how the flip did we lose to this basket case!?

    ...just need Sydney & Carlton to run into a bit of form now.

    Then the way Hawthorn have been going is a bottom 3 position for Freo too much to ask for?

    That’s what we can only hope for.

    they don’t have an easy draw: Collingwood, Doggies and Cats all away. You can almost put down 3 losses there. 

    Lions, Bombers and Power at home - would be hard to win more than one of those.

    Blues, Swans, Eagles and Hawks round out the rest , which they’ll probably 3-4. 

    So can’t see them winning more than 4-5 games for the rest of the season for 10-11 wins, which is about 9-12 ladder wise.

    The bye certainly came at the wrong time for the boys from Cockburn.

    GWS would have to be a chance this week but seem unable to string 2 wins together.

    It's always the wrong time for cockburn, bye or no bye.

    It’s premature -  I know.

    So if teams finished as-is. We’d have pick 6, 18, 24, 36 and 90.

    I’d take 18 and 24 to  Cats  (as Suns unlikely to trade ) for Pick 9.

    Take 6,9 to WC for Reid. If they take it, good otherwise we use it on Curtain and Duursma.

    These umps either have money on the saints or Freo to make the 8 cos this is putrid. 
     

    But tigers doing enough to shunt Freo down further!

    Why are the cats giving us a top 10 pick? Slide down 9 places for a pick in the 20s is not a deal I would do if I was them.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • 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.
