I'm worried about the report from a reputable poster that Sam may ask for a trade to Geelong because he can't get enough opportunities in the seniors.  Can see his point with Hogan and Tommy in front of the sticks.

But Crikey, I hope we find a regular spot for young Sam as would hate for him to go.  A terrific fighting game from him today. And great back up for Max.

New thread , keep the weed!

Well done Weid, attack that ball like you own it. Deep breath before the goal shot and you’ll be all good. 

Next preseason he just needs to work his bum off to get that tank up to a higher level. Contest after contest.

Said before I love this guy. Next year will be huge for him

• Playing a borderline finals team at home, who was missing its best mid, kpd and kpf.
• Absolute disgrace. VFL making sure a Victorian team is in the 8
• He Lecras, no good having a crack after the siren ya spud, how you get a game in front of Waterman is anyone’s guess
• Umps propping up the Vic teams they are a disgrace
• We are really getting done on the free kicks. Melbourne are much dirtier than I expected. I had to turn off the TV commentary and the radio is much better
• Melbourne got lucky soon as darling went down I knew it was game over
• The dees are a dirty team and cheat to get the win they suck
• Gawn killed us. Three votes easily.
• lol at that umpiring. Outstanding effort to get Melbourne over the line, brown paper bag stuff.
• Melbourne hype this week from the media will be nauseating.
• Last time the demons made the finals, we won the premiership
• Was always going to happen v the Dees this - they are a very good contested side.
• It was actually a really good quality game and Melbourne deserved the win. They took all our punches and rolled with them. Good on them.
• F U C k Melbourne! Cheating campaigners, they don't deserve [censored]!
• Scott Lycett. Just couldn’t go with the best ruckman around. Comprehensively beaten in key contests. Pay him #1 ruck money at our peril. He’s still a second banana.
• VFL umpiring. If that continues for Melbourne then it’s obvious that they’re the next Western Bulldogs who won GF with umps turning a blind eye to throwing. Today we saw continuous throwing, incorrect disposal, HTB, high tackles, Holding the man, scragging and stray elbows continuously not paid against the Dee’s. Pathetic. 
• Would rather see port make it then Melbourne
• Gawn took us to the cleaners
• The good news is it means Melbourne will play finals. That's basically an insta win. Under finals pressure they'll fold like a house of cards. Only reason they won is cause Darling went down early, no kennedy and the umpires handed it to them. Mark my words they are trash. Not to excuse our pathetic effort today, but I'd love to play them in September, they are not a good football team.
• What a [censored] team. Bunch of selwoods
• Why would barrass run off Melksham? That was [censored]
• We have some seriously dumb players.

Must say I don’t give a hoot about them. We won and beat a top two side .

Finally!  Finally! Finally!  Demons are in the finals!!  Emotional moment.

Now, look forward to receiving mfc invitation Finals tickets?. 

Next week we can relax and enjoy the game - no need to rely on any other results. 

Only thing to work out is where our 1st final is held.

Go Dees

[censored] yeah

Being a late game today I’ve been acting like there’s plenty of time till the bounce. Just looked at the time and there is an hour to go. Bloody hell, was hoping for a bit more Sunday before we have to walk the plank. 

Should I try to sneak in a quick walk in this delightful sun? Or wait for quarter to 6 to have a likely downtrodden dusk stroll? 

Warm here !

Got on Essendon at $2.40 earlier in the week.

Tiges got nothing to play for

Wouldn’t mind port winning and Geelong and norf losing. Let’s hope the footy gods hear.

Best of luck to him. Coming in to a crunch game and with most on here wanting his head already. Big fan but feel next year will be ideal. I think he will play his role in next two games and I hope the club give the lad a chance next year. 

Sad thing if we miss finals he could have played all year.

Mate, I can't go into the weekend thinking any different.  I've got to back the Dees to get it done!

No he is not up to it.

Was picked in same draft as Oliver. Roos was all over him. Play the lad. Next year he will break it open.

Well Jonathon Brown showed that footage amongst several others on On The Couch as another example of Jesse Hogan being terribly out of position. 

Dockers would give us 1st rounder 2018, 2  nd rounder 2019 and a player. Worth a look

Hi my name is Larry. 

I have had my problem for 30 years. It started as a pre teenager, hanging around with the wrong crowd. It’s when I started dee supporting. I knew at the time it was wrong but did it at the start for a bit of fun and risk taking.

Problem is it developed into a membership phase and I started wearing paraphernalia. And at the lowest point I , I got number plates. People labelled me from then on. Life became really difficult. The past 12 years I really hit the skids, it was like I was someone else, living in other reality. I sold things to attend games and functions. Oh the embarrassment of it all.

Recently I was put onto Melbourne Anonymous by a guy called Paul, Paul Roos. I thought finally I could break this viscous cycle but recently it has haunted me. I don’t know what to do. It could ruin me and my family. I must be strong and say no!

This is just one of many sad stories. If you require help call

jshc, I reckon it's a bit ironic to say that you can't mentally handle watching the team lose without taking out your frustration on your close family members, and then criticise the players for their mental weakness. Anyway, I think having realistic expectations probably help, and most teams don't go from dismal to dominant without a period where they're middle-of-the-road. What were you actually expecting from this year? Two games to go and we're 7th on 131%, despite injuries to key players (injuries we never could have coped with in past years).

I'm sure this point will get shouted down in amongst the 'the sky is falling' crowd, but I think we're probably tracking in about the right spot this year. IMO, we're clearly on an upward trajectory under Roos/Goodwin. We're now at a stage where we can not only defeat but bully poor teams 9/10 times (just the St Kilda slip-up), and we're thereabouts with most of the better sides in the comp (four losses under 10 points, vs Cats x2, Port and Sydney).

It's clear we've improved, because now the 'the sky is falling' posts come out after we lose a game by less than two goals versus a likely finalist and it's wrist-slashing time. These games used to be greeted with optimism, because only a few short years ago we were so pitiful this was about as close to a win as we'd get. The next step is to start winning some of the close ones, and minimising the damage when we have a dirty day (Richmond, Collingwood and Hawthorn).

My other issue is the golden rule, don’t played injured players. It seemed Hogan is injured but let’s play him. Weeds a better option. Could not have done worse!

i wouldve traded him earlier. poor attitude and i dont care what his set shot stats are, he is a terrible kick. 

my issue is he has been in system for awhile and every year same thing. JW got traded for the same thing !

Petracca needs to be looked at as a trade option. Colin Sylvia 2.0.

Any game will be the breakout for the best 8 years.

Agree . Package trac and hogan 

Just now, Dappa Dan said:

Roos vs Crows + Saints...

Port vs Pies and Dons...

If Roos lose one of those, and Port lose both, we won't need to win either of ours.

 

Really. It is over. Just leave the sleeping dog asleep. We will finish 9-11th. Simple!

Was always going to be a losing battle with Goodwin vs longmire in the boxes.

So many mediocre players on this list and lack of leadership and class is astonishing to me.

Hogan should be ashamed.

Vanders and pedo are barely vfl standard.

Mentally weak club!

 

I honestly believe and said it last year , we should put hogan up for sale. I understand he has had his issues but he goes missing when it gets hard. 

Many clubs especially freo would give a lot for him and I think we cash in now while he has some value.

Goodwin must go! Hopeless loss! 

I am gone. I will be sending membership back and am presently collecting all clothing etc to put in good Sammy bin. The homeless guy said he will report me for putting rubbish in the bin. 

We lose two two games to the cats by a few points now they sneak into the 8 . Well done you bunch of clowns 

Carlton bearing dockers. I know the dockers are average but Carlton win this it will show us to be the joke of the Comp

The Sydney players coming off are looking stuffed. I’m clinging onto some hope here.

Sydney have heart. We don’t . Sydney by 5 points. I wish I made that bet now of us not making the 8!

I firmly believe this game is done. Yesterday the eagles displayed the passion and want. Today the bullies did the same. Unfortunately we are a team of hopefuls. 

I have a feeling the saint Kilda game is about to happen. Late come back and we lose by a few points. We are the joke of the Afl. Hate to say it but maybe we move to tassy. No point continuing this charade.

Just win you pretenders. Bet Lewis is confused. Left hawthorn to join this circus !
