Win vs Bulldogs last year the most costly in the clubs history

Carltank will win more than 5. They will beat us twice, and will rack up wins against sub par teams like freo. Tiggies and Blues also have to play each other, so that always helps.

Tigers are 2-2, and have not played us.

    My money is on the tiges and blues winning 5 or more games. Tiges will romp it in. On current form we will get pick 1 unless Port tanks against us. I also think we will get a priority.

    So that means 3 top 20 picks again.

    Lets hope we use them wisely.

    An earlier post alluded to the new teams soaking up the good picks so that makes it all the more important to pick well. No trading out picks - just using them on kids.

    Id say we will go into the draft with picks 1, 17 and 18

    Trade Bruce for a pick in the 10-20 range, and perhaps a Brock Mclean for a pick in the 7-10 range

    That would give us 5 picks in the first 18. Great way to set us up for the future

    I'll bet you anything you like, Money, women, my nextdoor neighbors property, anything , that Carltank won't beat us more than once this H&A season. <_<

    Melbourne should have won 8-9 games last year with the amount of 1-10 pt losses we had. What about when we lost to the bulldogs when we were leading and had just kicked a goal with 30 second to go. How about against north when we had the ball in our hands with 30 seconds to go and leading.

    If anything, it wouldv been unfair if we had gotten the priority pick and we didn't deserve it

    I think our biggest threat are the Bombers. They arent much chop.

    They've got 2 wins already and can play good enough football to win 3 more. No way they'll do that badly. I reckon Freo might do much worse than them.

    That may be true sylvinator, but the fact is you have to take your opportunities. From the heartache, something good could have come and that would have been an extra pick in the top 20 last year and a potential pick 1 and 2 this year instead of a potential 1 and 17.

    We stuffed it up by appointing Riley. He wanted to win games and that's fair enough, he wanted to push his name forward as a senior coach. But if we appointed someone who we knew would be at the club next year and would agree to playing a young inexperienced side, then we probably wouldn't have knocked off the Doggies, leaving us with 4 wins. Riley played his best possible side. Which other club would do that in such a situation? None.

    You think we're that good a team then, that now we can do without our 1st pick from last year?

    "Why oh why, or more importantly, how in God's name did we thrash the Dogs so late in the season when we were in such poor form?

    "And forget the Carlton game in Round 22, we were never gonna lose that."

    • 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?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
