These two sides look like they would rather be napping than playing finals 

In fairness I’ve watched 5 minutes of this game 😂

    If not already noted, it just occurred to me that it was also the West Coast vs Adelaide game that cost us a finals spot by the slimmest of margins in 2017.

    Hopefully that is not an omen for tonight.

    I didn't want to post on that well done.

    Crows tanked last round of 2017 and cost us finals. Karma last week was lovely. 

    (Yes I know we should've beaten pies that round but that's not the point)

    Dent the Lions confidence, make them question themselves prior to finals. They’ve everything to play for and it would say a lot if they can’t get it done. 

    Sure. But if they lose, port wins and we win we play port at Adelaide oval week one of finals.

    So, I’d prefer to beat the Pies at the G over PA

    Huh?

    So as it stands right now with, say, 12 minutes to go:

    • Brisvagas wins
    • Port hot faves to beat Ninethmond
    • We play Filth at HQ first week finals whether win or loose tomorrow.

    All have equal footing for me… I would love nothing more than beating Collingwood at the G and I would love nothing more than beating the lions at the Gabba and I would love nothing more than beating port at Adelaide

    hmmm…and I’m not even confused by that post 😂

    you'd think they will hold on from here, maybe saints fit they didn't rest King.

     

    ... especially with shots like that on goal.

    Port play well in Brisbane, I would not discount them from knocking off Brizvegas.

    if we're playing the bears up there, i'll take the twilight slot

    doesn't look nearly as slippery and suited to their style of play than a night game often does

    Total myth that the Gabba is slippery, it's dry from early/mid July onwards. Playing in Brisbane is like playing in Melbourne, just with possibly higher temperatures. Totally different story at the start of the season.

    I think you can work it out

    I'm confused. Did you not read my post?

    We won't play the pies week one if the saints win this game. 

    If the saints and the dees win:

    We will play Port IN Adelaide if they beat tigers (which they will).

    Or if port lose we will play the lions at the g.

    I've only been back less than 48 hours so I may be missing something as to why Coll is seen to be an easier QF than Port or Lions.

    I noticed they lost a few games recently but they will have Moore, Murphy and McCleery back.  They rested Elliot for half the game last night, Sidebottom played in 2nd gear and everyone will have two days extra rest than us.

    If we play Coll and lose we are facing a game each week to the GF and an away PF.    I'd rather an away QF than an away PF.

    Now that the Lions have won, I'm hoping for a Port loss tomorrow.

    • 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.
