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.

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.

outside the top 4, i'll take gw$, crom ahead of the baggers

footscray are just looking like they are losing too many key position players at this point in time

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.

haven’t you changed your tune… 😂

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.

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

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

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

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.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
