Pre season 2021 they rated our midfield bottom 4.

I still laugh at that.

Says it all about Champion Data. The more clubs pay $$$$ to them for data the better it looks for that club. Data to suit a narrative.

I remember in 2017 they tipped us to finish 7th with a game to go.

And the missed that prediction by about 3%

If it's a MFC V Brisbane GF, I have a bit of a family crisis on my hands.  Youngest son is fair dinkum and goes for the Mighty Demons, but his big brother supports the Lions (yeah, I know - should have thrown him out of the nest).

Only have 2 X GFG memberships 🤔

Hmmmm tough decision coming up maybe.

Do you either:

A) Be honest and tell your eldest that he made a poor decision in life and needs to learn a lesson in consequences.

Or

B) Do you lie and tell him if the Lions and Dees make the grand final in 2024, that you'll take him then.

Very, very tough decision.


Champion Data means [censored] all

Yes but preseason 2019 they rated us as flag contenders. Their data is historic, it is not a projection. Based on 2019/20 you could say we did have a bottom 4 midfield prior to 2021.

Exactly.

That's why RBG had two sons!

Excellent planning to mitigate the risk of not having a child who supports the mighty dees.

It's a great problem to have if we get there.

My brother in law goes for Port and sadly he meets there criteria for supporting, lovely guy though.


I don't get the excitement about Lions winning a flag.

Their going to be hard to beat on their home finals sure but last time I checked, the granny will be played at the mighty Mcg where it belongs.

Lions have the biggest voodoo there and it will certainly come into play

Weird that that they would rank our midfield so low given they ranked Gawn, Oliver and Trac as elite at the start of the 21 season.  Not like they would have marked Viney and Brayshaw as mugs either.

of course, this is the year they ranked Mason Cox as elite, so I'm thinking there was a bug in their spreadsheet and nobody fixed it.

Yeah, I guess I've got a better strike rate that the old man.  He's got three sons and I'm the only one that's a passionate Demons (the other not really footy driven, but notional MFC supporters).

If we get to the big dance at the G, the three generations of MFC supporters will be the together and I couldn't go past that.  Dad was there at the G in 64, and I was there with him in 88 and 2000.  Watching a winning one at the G with them both would be bloody magic. 

Love that Max recognises and values the significance of winning one at home at the MCG where family freinds and the MFC faithful can truly share the experience and hope that is really driving the playing group headding into this finals series.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
