We’ll finish next year top 4 again and with any luck injury wise we’ll be a real chance again. Having no consistent forward structure is always going to be a big ask in September. We win everywhere else.  
 

I love following the Dee’s while we finish top 4 year after year, I’ll take this over the neeld era any day. Catch ya next year DL 

Will you feel the same if this group only deliver the 21 flag?

Honestly we need to expect better from this group, straight set exits don't cut it.

    Disgraceful waste of a season. Pickett’s poor discipline has cost us big time - what a joke he gets 800k per year. I never want to see TMac play in the senior side ever again. Get a new forward line coach ASAP. We are mentally soft and deserve to be called chokers. 

    Its definitely no where near 800k for Kozzy.

    Also, we sure have a lot of players that cannot keep their feet. You would thought they were playing on a ground they'd never set foot on.

    On a dry deck FMD 🤦🏻‍♂️

    You could just see what was going to happen that whole last quarter, chance after chance, miss after miss.

    Skills have digressed exponentially.

    Key Forward our No.1 target in the off season.

    Not going to point any fingers.

    Need a coaching panel clearout.

    Nothing went our way this year after Petty's injury.

    The Dees are the Greg Norman of football , chokers .  We need to get rid of some players BB ,T.Mac, Harmes , Jordon ,Schache , Grundy the most expensive back up ruckman in afl history and Goody , the reserves coach ,Richardson,Pert that's for starters .I would include the fitness coach . This club makes me sick.

    Don't forget the boot studder.

    In hindsight Petty going down injured can't be underestimated.

    Not to mention Melksham (the way he was playing) plus Brayshaw - compare Bayshaw's output to Jordan's. Then throw in the suspension to JVR.

    Whats everyones fav cost us the game moment. Kossies silly free in the first quarter, Gawns two misses or the goal he touched on the line. The ARC overturn that was not asked for. just to many to pick the one.

    May was massive. Sparrow in the last, very good. A wise man once told me never to email (but I’m going to apply to it posting in this case), when angry, upset or otherwise emotional, so I’m going to leave it at that. I’ll be back. 

    I just had a rant, feel better getting it off my chest. I regret nothing :D.

    Agree. Chuck in Hibberd or Grundy, schace or anyone in place of tmac in the last 25 mins and they would've offered something which is not than nothing we go from tmac

    Did Tmac have a touch in the last? He was beyond disgusting tonight.

    We said the same last year, bad luck... bad luck with I juries...

    I am.afraid this can scar psychologically the group.

    Lots of mental work to do in the offseason.

    They play like they're already scarred.

    Just put it in the context that while he had a poor finals series, Jack Viney carried us for a large portion of the season.

    Gawn was best on field last week and played his heart out tonight.

    There were a heap more reasons we lost tonight before you point the finger at the two hardest players in our club.

    Pull your head in.

    Vineys kick resulted in the winning goal for Carlton. Mind you he had time and space to kick better.

    The balance on the forward line was immediately ruined when Melksham went down. Who would of thought he'd be so key.

     So 96,000 is not a big crowd?

    I’m bullish on next year actually 

    I’m not at all unless Straight Sets Simon can get out of his own way and manage the list properly.

    Also as has been said many times before a total refocus on skills needs to happen.

    Too many slopppy players (Petracca and Hunter), poor kicking and just not doing the fundamentals well.

    Not having any talk about us being overrated.. we are the best side in it, should have won last week.

    This will be the flag we gave away.. mark my words, our biggest chance blown!

    We are not the best side in it 

    We have lost 4 Home Finals….

    Why did we give Schache another year if we can't trust him to outperform that last quarter of TMac? Embarrassing

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: 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.
