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.

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.

We all make choices 

you’ll be like the knight in the crypt in the last crusade - look at your youngest … “ you have chosen …. wisely”

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
