Back in round 2, if someone said to you outside the MCG after the game that Hawthorn would be equal on wins with Melbourne at round 16, you would’ve called the police on them.

Some predicted pre-season that they would rise significantly. But your point is well made @Bring-Back-Powell. I didn't think the Deez would implode to the extent we have done.

 

1.5 games between 3rd and 13th!!

I know it’s been said before, but still that’s just ridiculous.

So many 8 point games coming up.

Port v Dogs

Cats v Geelong

Pies v Essendon

Absolutely imperative that we win next week to get a jump on 3 of those teams.

Cats V Geelong should be interesting..

It’s a real bugger we lost on Friday. We would have  need to only go 4-4 to make finals if that had occurred. Now we need to go 5-3 and a few results fall our way. Definitely need to win the next 2 otherwise we’ll have to either beat Suns away, Freo away or the Pies in the last round. Dogs at Marvel also won’t be easy. 

well summed up.

I'm thinking next 2 weeks will decide.  Beat Eagles. But Lose and we're gone.

Beat dons, and if not we don't deserve to be a finalist and let someone else have a shot.  Dons are pretenders clearly, so If we can't beat them then we are a lower-mid table team for now anyway.

Next 2 weeks winning will then give the team the confidenece to go on with it and  Finals spot will have to be taken from us.

On the flipside, with talent still in place and a young team now, a full pre-season won't be a bad thing for 2025. We haven't had one since 2021 - provided the back office 9coachong staff) solve the obvious issues with the talent we have.

The Dees can still make the 8 if they show the contest and pressure game like they played at the Gabba on Friday. A big plus is the Dees don't meet the Blues in the remaining rounds (who of course are storming to their 17th flag 😁).

As much as it hurts to be as low as 12th, we could be back in the 8 in 2 weeks if we can knock off WC (likely) and then Essendon (possibly).

Destiny still very much in our hands and we play the likes of Essendon, Bulldogs, GWS, Port and GC who are all fighting for that 7th-8th spot.

Going to (hopefully??) be some very uplifting and exciting wins for the MFC on the run home.

Of all the years to do a Melbourne, we chose this one. 

what is doing a Melbourne these days? finishing top 4 like past 3 years and winning a flag?

or you thinking further back?

So, out of the 37 remaining matches between the top 13 teams,

WE FEATURE IN 7 OF THEM. 

OTHERS:

Sydney 5

Carlton 5

Fremantle 6 

Essendon 6 

Geelong 4 

Collingwood 7 

Port Adelaide 6 

Brisbane 5 

Western Bulldogs 6

GWS Giants 7 

Gold Coast Suns 5

Hawthorn 5

Beating West Coast and Essendon is definitely doable.

That's why some of these posts are getting a bit riddiculous. A lot of people seem to have collective amnesia about what Max King has been able to produce in the past, particularly in 2022 (before the shoulder injuries).

He needs a full pre-season and someone working with him who isn't a "2007-2011 St Kilda nepo hire". No offence to Harvs, but I have my doubts he's the best person to coach a key forward through a form slump. Get someone from the outside to work with him on his craft. Someone who understands what he might be going through. Give him whatever he needs. He's the future and is capable of great things.

FFS, saying he's "never going to be that player" is riddiculous when he's already shown it.

How on earth did we lose to west coast???? They are totally useless. 

Unfortunately we got them on the say they decided to play like premiership contenders. Which is typical of Melbourne

  • 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.

    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

    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.
