Exactly this. 
11 wins and a top 5 pick? Ok thanks.

    Otherwise known as Pick 5

    Silver linings

    All I want for Xmas is an elite kick and decision maker.

    A lefty would be a sweet bonus.

    In the words of the famed poet/philosopher Ricky Bobby, "if you ain't first, you're last."

    I really couldn't care about the 14th place. The moment we couldn't make finals, I still wanted us to win every match but had more interest hoping results go our way for the highest draft pick possible.

    Bad?

    It’s bloody brilliant.

    2019 everything went wrong. Jackson, Pickett and Rivers were premiership players 2 years later.

    Whilst I’m not expecting that kind of turnaround a pick 6 is lovely. That could be an Oliver level player, could be a Windsor, could be traded for Steve May.

    Biggest downside is we don’t have our second rounder and have to beg the Crows for it back.

    This puts us in the bottom 6 fixture group; coupled with pick 5 it gives us great scope to challenge again in 2025.

    You can count on West Coast and Richmond to stink it up real bad next year. Also can’t see North going much better, unless they land some mature players to help steady the ship. 
    Adelaide are a who knows. Saints are garbage.

    Disappointing to miss the finals but this was a very even year. 
    we only had the two(?) really bad games.  Why. NFI.  Something was wrong.

    And how many by less than 10 or so points.  And we started with two less top 22 players.   So with the football gods with us in 2025.  And some  better team management. Look forward. Go Dee’s

    That's generous.

    Both Fremantle games were abysmal. The West Coast and Dogs games were right up there in the same category.

    Both Collingwood games were really bad. 

    We also beat North by three points. 

    We were no longer difficult to play.

    Unlike others on this site, Billy is doing a good job of not being a hero.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
