These setups never end well for us. 

I dunno, I think we've capitalised quite well on these opportunities last 2 years... We snuck into second last year taking our chance in the last 2 rounds and were sitting 3rd after Round 20 of 2021... so we've put the throttle down in these situations the last two years. Would be unreal if we do it again.

    Carlton?

    Fair call. Carlton beat the top two sides. Could be us next 😬

    I think tomorrow is a crucial game. If we get over that I can feel something a little special building. We shouldn't fear anyone.

    Carlton are on a winning streak with the largest injury list in the comp atm and plenty of those injuries are to their most important players. 

    Their form couldn't be any more impressive.

    Didn’t even realise Wines was playing

    Done nothing since he fluked a Downlow win. Very average player

    I admire the way fly coaches. And I've envied and marvelled at the way they've played for the majority of this year and think Goodwin could take some lessons from the way they play. 

    Doesn't mean I don't despise the club and wish them to lose. I've always hoped that their unbelievable form would shake toward the pointy end and even though it's one game, I'm hopeful they'll stumble a bit from here which will give some confidence to sides like us heading into finals. 

    Same can be said about Brisbane and Port after tonight. 

    I just reallllly hope the players are realising this and play ruthless football tomorrow against Richmond. I mean come out breathing fire and play desperate and ferocious football all day. 

    Tomorrow could be the catalyst for us to hit form and make a charge for top 2.

    The pessimist and scarred supporter says that we'll fluff tomorrow. But I'm praying the players take ownership and realise what a golden opportunity this is for us. It starts tomorrow. The leaders need to know the importance and play with that intention all day. 

    Show it to us Melbourne.

    Well lets hope the Eagles don't run the roos into form...lol

    Would be nice to see roos [censored] the Eagles by 100+ and win one or two more. Would be bad optics for the afl to grant massive concessions.

    AFL need to send Port a "Please Explain" regarding the Alir Alir incident. Looked very bad.

    No,  we want to finish second, and if we win our games, and Port lose to Adelaide tonight and Geelong at Geelong (on the rebound) next week, then it is very achievable.

    your'e more optimistic than me but correct. I can only dream of 2nd which the team will be in far better shape this year than last. Unbelievable if it comes off.

    Crows should win it from here and port will have lost 3 on the trot with Cats next week without a backline. Did Hinkley get his contract extension? 

    Not yet and Kochie must be sitting back thinking how clever he is. On the other hand, Ken may want to leave it all behind also.  I hope we now don't get the lazy media pile-on to Ken about shaky ground etc. So unbecoming.

    The media story should be last years Premiers a good chance to miss finals.  Everyone came after us last year. Now its the Cats turn.  AT least we made the 8 with a banged up list. Cats have no excuse.

    As we had a banged up list they have an aged list. Could it be, AT LAST, the cliff is nearby? Oh I do hope so. Only hate the druggies more than this club.

    Sorry youre' right - Age is their issue and in hindsight I suspect many will see 2022 as their last hurrah.  They sneaked in under the wire.  Garry Lyon was effusive last night on just how speedy Freo was compared to cats.

    IMO the same might be said of the Pies weakness as showed by the Dees on KB and I reckon follwed fairly closely by Carlton on Friday.

    I will never watch this and not tear up. Pure. Magic. 

    The look on the faces of the poor dogs supporters was great as well.

    In less than a minute they had to process it was all over

    He was knocked out cold. How a Dr clears him to play after that is beyond me. I hope he's Ok.

    Oh come on there was a Charlie in it and a surname starting with C that's close enough for her...

    They’ll be a force next year 

    Easily good enough to finish top 4. Could displace Port.

    At the lions game at the gabba last year. Straw poll of lions fans there had Hipwood at No.1 to get rid of. Very little love for him up there. Cornes was on the money querying his 7 year or so deal.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
