I had a rough night.. Didn't sleep too well & was dreaming about what happened, I can't believe it affects me this badly.. I'm worse today than I was last night. It'll hurt the players no doubt but I honestly think it hurts us long time die hard fans more, going to take awhile to get over this... I hope someone from the club fronts the media today, we need an apology

Nah we had some potential in those years... I just want to be bottom of the barrel again when their were no expectations & no let downs

Give me the Neeld years back.. At least their was no crushing blows like this... Yep, that's where I'm currently at

Well the start of the season can't come quick enough now.....

They'd want to get their skates on... 1 goal in 20 minutes...This low scoring is suiting WC to a tee

I actually feel sick at the thought of this West Coast Adelaide game...

Yep, west coast knowing the full equation wont let it slip... Adelaide are playing for nothing.

Not sure it's been mentioned but we didn't lay a tackle until the 11 minute mark of the 1st quarter, that is absolutely disgraceful for a side playing for a spot in the finals... Shows the players mind set... fkkking pathetic

F**k it.. I hope we don't make it, in all seriousness these players need to realise if you don't show up and get the job done you don't get rewarded... They need this result to sit in their gut all pre season, burn away at them to make sure it doesn't happen again...

This is the equation

Missing a mates wedding ceremony to be there today.. We better F%#×ing win!!!!

A simple 3 way trade Melbourne Out: 1st round pick Melbourne In: Lever Carlton Out: Bryce Gibbs Carlton In: 1st round pick Adelaide Out: Lever Adelaide In: Gibbs * throw our 2nd rounder to sweeten the deal for Adelaide

Yep count me in Macca, I enjoy the tipping comp!

You'd think Port will beat that rabble Gold coast by more than what Sydney will beat Carlton by.. Hope I'm wrong though! If that happens in a strange way if we lost to Collingwood we'd play Port would be a better outcome but I couldn't handle the 24 hours from our game to West Coast/Adelaide and run the risk we don't make it but if Adelaide salute then there's merit in a loss to Collingwood

Yeah AFL said a few weeks back Thursday night would be Adelaide or Perth so without a Perth game it'll be Adelaide or Port who host the Thursday night... You'd think they wouldn't schedule back to back Adelaide oval games so one will be Thursday night and one Saturday, they won't make 1(Adelaide) v 4 on the Saturday because the loser deserves the longer break.. Your right I think the 2 qualifying finals will be Thursday & Friday nights for that reason. My guess would be: Vs Port Saturday night Vs Sydney Saturday arvo

Your missing my whole point, we know the ins & outs of what could happen.. I'm not saying embrace finals but to embrace the talk and possibility of finals....

Too all those telling other posters & supporters to "stop getting ahead of ourselves", "theres still one more game to win", "we still need to beat Collingwood" I understand all that but let other posters dream of September and talk about it, we haven't had this chance for 11 years and if for some reason we miss out at least we all got to enjoy this end to the season with us still in the hunt. We aren't the players or coaching staff, what we say & post on here has absolutely no bearing or influence on the playing group, coaches or the result of games so just let those who want to know how we buy finals tickets, who we'll play, when we'll play, who'd we play if we won the first final... We are posters on a forum for godsake, let's all just embrace this time were in and if you don't wish to get involved thats fine but don't tell others they can't look that little further ahead and dream of September

Trying to get a read on when we will play IF we make it.. Think if we play Port it will be the Saturday night & if we play Sydney it will be the Saturday afternoon, maybe the Friday night but doubt the AFL will put it up on a Friday night in Sydney Edit: In the unlikely event we play Richmond that may be Friday night or Saturday arvo I reckon

I've noticed this a lot with Tyson over the last year or so, he starts a game like a house on fire and will have 10 or more touches in the first quarter, 20 by half time and then drops off and rarely ends up with over 30... Maybe it's a fitness issue but aslong as he keeps up the good starts I'm happy

Doesn't matter what we beat Collingwood by inregards to Essendon they cant jump us as we'd be a game clear of them... We win we'll finish 7th

6 - Pedersen 5 - Hogan 4 - Melksham (shut down zorko after qrt time and won plenty of the ball himself) 3 - Hibberd 2 - Jones 1 - Petracca

There was a thread during the week about players reading/posting on demonland... If there for some reason is a current player out there who reads this please show your other teammates. Us supporters have been to hell & back following this football club the past decade, the majority of this list & coaching staff don't fully understand what it's like to be a Melbourne supporter, to go through rebuild after rebuild, false dawn after false dawn coach after coach, failed draft pick after draft pick, number 1 picks been taken by expansion sides, top picks having career ending injuries, past players and coaches losing battles to illnesses, the only team to be fined of tanking but not actually tanking, been the laughing stock of the competition & friends for 10 fricken years! Rocking up to the G week in week out knowing we'd be lucky to be within 5 goals at quarter time, travlleing across the country to still show our support.. There's been times we could have all thrown it in and said "I'm done with this club" but we stuck through the tough times knowing there'd be brighter days and when those days came they would be sweeter than any because what we have been through... So today please if the going gets tough and it feels like it's all too much just remember what one shot at a finals series means to all us supporters... Go Dees

There's 2 spots in the 8... I'm predicting we finish 7th & essendon scrap into 8th on % Edit: if we lost 1 of the next 2 and results went as I stated above we'd finish 8th & Essendon 7th....
