    Are you talking about that semi last year? We may’ve panicked in the last two minutes but we didn’t gift them the win. The score review result gifted them the win when Tracc’s goal was deemed touched by Marchbank when it clearly wasn’t. 

    Yes we gifted them the win with our panicked play in the last. Couple of minutes,  we were exhausted but made errors in delivery,  umpiring errors happen. 
    We were still in front until we allowed them to hit the goals in the last minutes.

    Absolutely hate this season. Carlton missing out would have been a great consolation. Instead they’re probably going to beat Brisbane with all their players back and the media will fall in love with them again when all they’ve done is beat North and West coast over the last 6 weeks.

    Yeah, but half of the players that return to Freo end up coming back over here. Not wise to sledge him - could be wanting to come back in another couple of disappointing Freo years.

    Freo are going to really rue that 1 point loss to essendon. 

    Just watched the last 2 minutes if the marvel game. Wow what a finish. If I lost 8th spot in the final 12 seconds, I'd be crying to. 

    But had a feeling port would win.

    He wanted to get paid big dollars at Freeo. Going home would have meant allowing the MFC to negotiate with both WA clubs. 
     

    Let’s not gloss over Dogga’s dog act.

    In Round 18:

    • We were in the top 8
    • Carlton was 2nd
    • Fremantle was 5th
    • Essendon was 6th
    • Port was 9th, 2.1% behind us
    • The Dogs were 10th
    • Hawthorn was 11th, a game and 10% behind us
    • St Kilda was 15th, 4 wins and 14.4% behind us

    The help of a bottom 6 draw can be seen in Hawthorn.

    They got each of Richmond, North Melbourne and Adelaide twice. They went 6-0 against them.

    The way they play is very attractive and exciting, but it's also important to note that the only finalist they've beaten since Round 13 was Carlton two weeks ago, when they had no one on the bench in the second half, and they only played three finalists in total since Round 13 (lost to Geelong and GWS, beat Carlton).

    Safe to say Richmond, North and West coast will all struggle again next year so that could be 6-0 for us.

    ANB is leaving for family reasons because he has a wife and a child. He also isn’t telling us which SA club he wants to go to. 
    Let us not compare a single 20 year old chasing money and listening to mum, to ANB who gave us 10 years of service.

    Overall record against the finalists:

    1. Sydney: 6-3
    2. GWS: 6-6
    3. Collingwood: 6-6
    4. Port Adelaide: 5-3
    5. Geelong: 5-5
    6. Bulldogs: 5-5
    7. Adelaide: 4-1-8
    8. Hawthorn: 4-5
    9. Carlton: 4-6
    10. Melbourne: 4-7
    11. Brisbane: 3-5
    12. Essendon: 3-6
    13. Gold Coast: 3-7
    14. Fremantle: 3-8
    15. St Kilda: 3-8
    16. Richmond: 1-10
    17. West Coast: 0-8
    18. North Melbourne: 0-12

    So whilst the bottom 6 draw worked for Hawthorn, it did not work at all for North, who copped 4 of a possible 6 maximum repeat games against finalists (Carlton, Geelong, the Dogs and Hawthorn). 

    Adelaide had the roughest on this metric, with 5 of its 6 repeat games against finalists (Geelong, Port, Brisbane, Hawthorn and Sydney), meaning 13 of their 23 games were against finalists.

    Meanwhile Brisbane, despite making the GF last year, and Port, despite being a top 4 H&A side last year, ended up with just 1 of their 6 repeat games against finalists. Brisbane fared well getting Collingwood and us twice.

    It's obviously a rudimentary metric - part of the reason the finalists are finalists is because they beat the other sides. Also this doesn't take into account when a side won these games (e.g. of our 4 wins, 3 were in in Rounds 1-3).

    Exactly.

    ANB played his heart out till the end.

    Dogga phoned it in for the second half of 2022. And a lousy finals performance for someone of his talent.  Half an effort and we would have got over the line in at least one final.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
