Probably helps fitness-wise in the last quarter when you haven't travelled for 10 weeks and play an interstate side who travels every second week.

Still, that's despicable from Fremantle. Top 2 is on the line and they've lost to a side who hasn't looked capable for a month, from 25 points up with 15 to play.

But hear me out on this: Fremantle's had one decent win since Round 7, which was vs Sydney in Round 16, and even that now looks less strong given Sydney's fallen in a hole. Since Round 7 their other wins have been Richmond (twice), St Kilda, us (twice), GC and WC.

Essendon will beat GC next week. If Carlton lose to Hawthorn, Essendon will move back into the 8 with two to play.

Admittedly their last two are Sydney and Brisbane, but with Sydney's form nosedive, how can you say right now that Essendon can't win that? If they win that, they get to 13.5.

The only saving grace here is the prospect that they can still miss finals from 13.5 (Carlton and Hawthorn have easy fixtures to get to 14 wins, the Dogs too, and Fremantle just needs one win to get to 13.5 and will hold them out on percentage if needed).

Watching Freo and Essendon,

we need a lot more speed.

Agree.

And both teams really looked to exploit that when they played us.

I’m assuming you have Freo, they’re about to sheet the bed 

Yes I did if they are going to lose why not to the demons!

Vs Billing’s, macadam , schache, Hunter , Fullerton all staring & @ vfl level, not sure how they got this so wrong and can’t expect all to impact but barring Hunter who is struggling we have no gains 

Duuuude how about you take this to an MFC thread? Please. It’s not a big ask and I’m asking nicely. Some of us love this thread while watching NON-MFC matches. One post sooking it up about our club here and there is bearable, but you’re like a broken record… over and over again. It’s insufferable.

Thanks Kelly Underwood for that lovely description. 
And good afternoon to all the  personal care workers and residents out there.

Right???! It’s [censored] annoying and it’s at a point where this thread is meaningless because it’s no longer only about NON-MFC matches. It used to be fun watching those matches while on this thread but it’s become contaminated and is only getting worse.

When Freo beat the Cats next week

the top 5 will be all non Vic teams

ever happened before?

So that would mean only 2 finals in Melbourne  6v7 and the GF.

2006 was close. Top 4 were all interstate.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
