Or perhaps Gawn’s palm on the line…

Or the ARC overturning the ANB goal…

Or Melksham’s ACL…

Or our own  inability to kick easy shots on goal…

Yep. and all those you mentioned would not have happened if we had been given the goal and Finished 2nd


What is happening looks like both sides that beat us will play off next week and we should have won both games, hope the players think about this over summer, completely [censored] the bed

On paper, no.

To beat them you need to out coach them. There's a reason why Goodwin is 1-3 against McRae (and barely got over the line in that one win).

They are exceptionally well coached.

Goody completely outcoached McRae on KB. 10 more scoring shots. we just couldn’t kick straight

and i dont think we were out coached in the QF just didn’t get it done. again kicked poorly. we need to improve skills

The entire Finals System would have changed…

Coulda, shoulda, woulda

Doesn't change my point. With a midfield full of crapp kicks and no dominant key forward, we don't win finals. The 2 x straight sets is absolute proof of that. The Carlton H&A game doesn't change our inability to win finals.

Watson and Daisy doing special comments. It’s a struggle. 

Special mention to the nincompoop who commented on the "finals-like atmosphere" at the Gabba.

Um, yeah.  It's a final you goose.

If Lions do win it somehow they have no hope next week. Blues do have a shot though. There is something in being dog hungry.

Because there is no God just an AFL HQ.

Spot on YOTD

Fitzroy at least look to have stopped Carlton's momentum with around 5 minutes left in that 1st quarter and will need to start chipping away at that deficit now. 

Home crowd seem a bit stunned and intimidated by the large travelling contingent of a real football club instead of the  frankenstein outfit they follow.

We tried all year with the goal kicking stuff.  Didn't work when it counted and also in a number of H&As.

We need fresh blood that brings the skills / finish / finesse with them as well as a new forward coach.

And of course a midfield coach now that Ooze has moved on.


Fagans finals record with this list is 4 wins and 7 loses after 5 dominant year.

top 4 in 4 out of 5 years

😂.. am laughing.

Can’t we just have two commentators and maybe one boundary rider? Way too many cooks.

Lions will have all the running in the second half. Blues carrying 4-5 players on one leg

keep it under 3 goals at half time lions

If Brisbane pull this off then I give them a shot.

Chocolate and Alcohol helps Jaded.

 

Lions have a toehold now. Kick another one and they're right back in it

Having said that the premiers often struggle in the preliminary final.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
