OMG,

 didn’t think it was that bad

I’d rather finish 14th than 9th… a top 5 pick combined with a bundled pick at 20 will help us secure 2 very good mids.

    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 

    Really we had 7 bad games. Lions, Pies twice, Dogs, and Freo twice plus WCoast. 
    Swans ok and 4 losses under a goal and 11 wins. 

    Better Team Management you mean Coaching which should include our Forward and Mids inc. ruck plus of course our Sub ( no 23) management.

    We lost 10 of our last 15, so it wasn’t exactly elite. Lots of mitigating factors, but an absolute mile off where we expected to be.

    Our lack of pressure (or specifically the picking and choosing of which we week we brought pressure) and atrocious skills explain exactly why we're the 5th worst side in the league.

    Compare that to the teams that are currently playing in the finals.

    We have a massive amount of work to do if we want to return to finals next year. A return of a few injured players isn't going to simply solve everything, IIRC we had a far stronger team in for the Freo debacle compared to the final game.

    The mindset to bring uncompromising and unconditional  pressure week in week out is the main factor that will determine if we jump back up the ladder.

    A lot of work to do but 11 wins after a disasterous end to 2023, unrelenting media pressue, the retirement of Gus, Loss of Smith and lack of preseasons for Oliver, Petty and a few others it's somewhat remarkable it didn't turn out worse. Particularly when you add in injuries to May, Lever, Salem, Tracc and Gawn. 

    Hopefully the spirit we saw in the first 10 rounds is the real Melbourne despite the pressure that was put upon them and it just became to hard to fight against the wind in the second half of the season once injuries mounted amid continued media pressure.

    It's actually disgraceful but not a surprise.  No wonder trac is livid

    Hey Trac , all your other team mates have signed on!

    Oh no, we are the worst team, with the worst culture, our under performing coach must be sacked.

    Burn the club to the ground, burn it all!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
