Agree.

Who remembers the 'Kruezer cup' match? Where both sides (Demons &  Blues) were trying to lose. Blues left Travis Johnston to run riot ...42 possessions from memory. Demons won, so Carlton got pick #1, which was Kruezer.

 

Typical for those years. TJ fantastic skills, lazy, laconic, runs riot when he wanted in a game that was of no consequence.

melbourne won but in reality lost. 
In those times when we tried to lose we failed. Terrible times best not look back look forward 

21 and 25. I would take that as long as they are not bookends.

 

I hate playing the Pies for so many reasons, and now you can add a legitimate fear of one of our players dying to the list.

Gus, Trac, who will it be tonight? Max I suppose.

    Is this that thing where the umpire has to stand on one leg?

    I hate myself for thinking this, but long term are we better off losing and getting a higher draft pick? Suns and Saints could go past us on the ladder all going well.

    It’s a win win game for mine. I want to see 100% effort and if that gets us over the line great, if not I’ll take the pick. Although I’d like us to be in the middle band for next years draw. All the big box clubs are there and they’re the best games for us the supporters and for the club wanting prime time slots. We’re going to enjoy winning the flag next year.

    The phrase "It couldn't get worse" has never filled me with confidence. Call it MFCSS but it doesn't work for me.

    All i will say is “go dees”. We will be there (hopefully not getting too wet), however I really hope for a win for our final game to ride some positive momentum into the pre-season. Hopefully see a few of you there (FWIW I am 2m tall, have a beard and a full mouth of teeth - assume not many people will match this description at the G tonight if any Deamonlander wants to say hi).

    Twelve hours to kick-off. Time enough to get in a few chapters of Thinking, Fast and Slow by the recently deceased Nobel prize-winning behavioral scientist Daniel Kahneman and ponder the mental juxtaposition created by the contradictory desire for instant gratification weighed against longer-term goal-setting and its potential promise of greater future rewards as disrupted by a lack of concrete details on the exact timeframe of our own personal demise, which becomes further complicated again for those of us who remain childless or have a lifestyle profile which could be classed as 'high risk' but still boast a full set of teeth, in all providing for an interesting metaphor for the Melbourne Football Club as its players line up for the first bounce in a dead Friday night rubber at the MCG.

    Or I could just read the Collingwood forums for a while to kill some time. 

    Go Dees!

     

     

    Hnmmm sounds like something I came across when I was a kid! Anyone remember

    "THE LITTLE RED SCHOOLBOOK"??

    Incredible that any of the teams currently in positions 5 to 8 could potentially finish anywhere between top-4 or missing the 8 altogether!  What a bizarre season.

    Looking forward to some atrocious football* from the 10th to 18th teams.

    *This may include limited one way running facilitating enhanced scoring.

    For the last time in season 2024.

    It’s game day baby. Pumped!

    Get to the G tonight to farewell Nibbler and BBB. Two premiership heroes.

    Go Dees.

    Takes the saying 'legs 11' to a whole new level. If you google the great man, apparently his last known weight is 111kgs. He's to a 111 point win over these mongrellls. Dad jokes 10111.

    Need ANB to do a number on him again. Hopefully means the Bont might win it for once.

    Draft picks are a bit of a lottery. Beating the Pies would be glorious. I say let’s thump the bastards.

    Sydney has to be the worst minor premier in the history of the competition. Not only did they lose to the wooden spooner, they also had a 100+ point loss in there.

    Tonight I’m bringing my two 5 year old (almost 6) grandsons to their 2nd game of footy. One parent of each is also coming (my kids).  We would love to sit with the cheer squad. Is there room and can we do this with general admission tickets?

    Both boys love Tommy McDonald.  We fear there is a chance it’s his last game.

    Didn't they lose 6 in a row?

    Quasi Dead rubber or not it would be nice to officially end the Pies season even if it means denying them the 180+ point win that they need.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
