    So we were in the top 4 race with six weeks left, we were in the finals race until about a fortnight ago, and somehow we end up with pick 5. All it took was for us to blow a meaningless game and a couple more results to go our way. Jack Higgins may have single handedly revived us! You beauty. And we get some delicious Blues tears for dessert. Great finish to the year!

    So we just finished 14th. 

    To be honest, I hate seeing us that low on the ladder. 

    But if you’re going to have a down year (and let’s hope it’s just one year down), may as well make it as bad as possible. Getting pick 5 after being in the finals race with 3-4 games to play has its upside.

    Best ending to a game this season!

    We might have missed finals but it's great to see Collingwood, Essendon and (hopefully) Carlton sharing the pain.

    Reminds me of a few years ago when we had to beat Collingwood in the final game to make the 8 (we lost) but still had a chance if West Coast won after us (they lost).

    Now that would be orgasmic.

    And The filth ended ninth.

    Perfect ending.

    I just don’t reckon the Dees would have fought that hard if we were in the Saints place. Very impressive given nothing but pride on the line. 

    There was that last round game in 2020 was it? Where we put everything on the line and we were all super proud of the ‘new Dees’, but we so often capitulate in those kind of games…

    Higgins goal very much like Kossie in Round 22 2022. Even better was it happened to Carlton again in Round 23.

    Welcome to demonland pick 5

    Suns do the business

    Ditto Saints.

    Our inability to hit a target inside 50 does the rest.

    Hello pick 5.

    Pick 5 changes the Houston dynamic from our perspective.

    That's a high pick in what is apparently a strong top 10 or so in the draft (though how often do they some variation of that).

    Not sure. 
    Might have to ask my mates who go for Ess, Carl, Tiges etc. 
    Specialists in fighting over position 9-18. (After being in finals contention)

    Picked the blues but barracking for sainters.  I remember last year they were losing all game you heard nothing we panicked in the last two minutes   Gifted them the game and they celebrate as if they were champions all blooody day

     

    Stuff them as hard as possible

    I'm surprised a Carlton player didn't claim they touched it

    Interesting that the commentators who made such a fuss about the free kick count when it favoured st Kilda said nothing when it was almost even at the end. Even BT’s arithmetic skills would show there must have been a similar ‘bias’ to make it even at the end

    As it first came off the boot, I really thought it wouldn't make the distance

    Actually, the only thing better than that result would’ve been:
    Saints, to win by 150 points (roughly),

    Putting the filth into pos 8 (briefly)

    Then

    Freo and Port to draw 😈😈

    We'd have lost by 10 goals

    OH WHEN THE SAINTS!!

    Firstly I'd like to thank trusty Kayo. Was watching on 20 minute delay and was at that last boundary throw in with 30 seconds left and then it suddenly flashed forward to 5 mins after the game. Like having an orgasm stolen.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
