NON-MFC: Round 24

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.

he can [censored] right off

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 needed to go home.

GIVE IT A BREAK!

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.

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.

Why? Saints winning helps our draft position 

I'm the token Blues supporter here, I get some shade thrown my way, but don't forget you are all a bit Navy Blue too 😁

'Interesting times' in the Docklands today ... All's well that ends well I guess ... 😅

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
