I'll be really pumped to watch yze get a Head Job

If we miss the finals again,we'll give him one i hope.

Onya Jack-LEGEND

Now can we trade Brayshaw,Oscar & AVB for Ben King

Top 4 if we do!!!

After 6 months of Covid,hubs,3 games in 9 days,we miss the finals by a Solitary kick of the Football.

Against the Cats,we had a set shot with 15 seconds to go in the match,ball slides left of the Goalpost for a point and we lose by 3.

1 Kick,that's how close we came!!!

We have a better list than the Bulldogs,but they beat us and Freo

Considering from 2010-20,only the Suns have won less games than us,not surprising.

Just back from the game (and Star Casino) and it was great to see 3,000 fellow Demons Supporters,a few more than the Bulldogs game here,we're all from Melbourne

Just good to get the win in the end but not a great way to go into a finals series if we make it,especially playing the Eagles over there.Bombers have lost 9 straight and the last 2 by 50+ and we just get over the line.Fritta's kicking is killing us,he missed so many set shots and couldn't hit Spargo on his own in the goalsquare from 30 out,Weid is also a huge problem,the ball continually bounces of his hands.Great to see Hunt play a blinder,i love his speed inside 50,real X factor in a very vanilla forward line.Ed Langdon is a gun,watching him gut run all day giving us so much drive and overlap is what we've needed for years and it would have to be one of Salem's best games for the club,his kicking on both sides was brilliant.

Should Freo win and they're a good chance in the slippery conditions,slowing down the Bulldogs,we'll need a huge improvement to get close to the Eagles on today's performance.

Freo by 11

It's a beautiful 23 degree day here and not a breath of wind unlike the Bulldogs game.

Pumped to see the boys smash the Bombers  but i think the Doggies will be too good for Freo but it will be very wet and Slppery up there tomorrow night.

Just bought tickets,anyone else going to the game,lets meet for Beers.

Forecast is 24 and little wind,hopefully not as bad as the Bulldogs game,i could barely walk into Metricon,we don't play well in wind and Rain-Bulldogs,Swans,Freo.

Lever's inboard turnover goal turned the game when we were 3 goals up

Overpaid...

The ball bounces off Weid's hands every time

Delist him and Fritta

Hmmmm... sitting here in my abode in Europe with a raging hangover from last night. I thought it might be amusing to drink large quantities of grape juice from my latest vineyard find. 
 

a small place in the Rhône valley to the north of Avignon called Domaine Rouge Bleu. They produce a Grenache called Lunatique. Seriously, how could I not consume vast amounts?

Hmmmmm,you'll have a raging hangover after this game tonight!!!

I reckon it will be 17 seconds in,when i scream FFFFFFFAAAAARRRRRRKKKKKK

So assuming we win our last two, basically we need one of the three to happen in order to make the eight:

1) Pies lose both their last two games (GC and Port)

2) Saints lose both their last two games (WCE and GWS)

3. Dogs lose one of their last two games (Hawks and Freo)

I actually think the most likely is the Dogs dropping one of their games. Hawks are due for a win I feel.

 

Freo are a good chance to beat Bulldogs in Cairns on a dewy night.Great it's up there and not Metricon where they played the last 6/8,while we're Metricon,Alice Springs,Cairns,Cairns,Gabba,Metricon on mostly 4/5 day breaks!!!

Isn't he being groomed to take over from Clarkson? 

No,there is no succession plan in place and clubs will release a contracted assistant if a senior coaching position is offered.

Probably a bit too early in his coaching career but Sam Mitchell played his whole career under Clarko and will bring his own fresh ideas,we'd get him cheaper than Clarko,Lyon etc. to offset Goodwins payout and Cameron the Bruce and Yze as assistants and James Mcdonald to build our culture from the ground up.

How much did we pay Paul Roos? $1.2M a year?

Clarko would want at least that,if not more,on top of paying out Goodwin,won't happen especially in Soft Cap Covid times.

We offer Sam Mitchell $500k per year for first 2 years with performance based options for 3rd,4th,5th year.We can then afford to pay out Goodwin.

Mitch would not refuse this offer. 

Paying out Goodwin will cost less than the members we lose over 2 years,not to mention the sponsors,imagine putting your Business name to this rabble,you'd be Bankrupt in months!!!

Ed Langdon-absolutely love this guy,he never ever gives up,runs himself into ground week in,week out

Giants will smash us next and when it is mathematically impossible we'll come out and smash Bombers by 80 and the players will be high fiving like they just won the flag!!!

Season over,Thank [censored]

Giants by 80+ next 

Pay Goodwin out,it will be far cheaper than 2 more years of Goodwin wasting Gawn,Viney,Petracca,Brayshaw,Oliver and May in their prime.

Take your pets with you Goodwin-Melksham,Vandenberg and Oscar

Does Bartlett have the Balls??? 

If he doesn't,he has Failed as the Melbourne Football Club President!!!

Season over,Thank [censored]

Giants by 80+ next 

Pay Goodwin out,it will be far cheaper than 2 more years of Goodwin wasting Gawn,Viney,Petracca,Brayshaw,Oliver and May in their prime.

Does Bartlett have the Balls???

Every top 6 side is praying we play finals

I hope it ends tonight

Pathetic Khants!!!

Freo are [censored]

Any decent team would be 6 goals up by now.

The match tonight will go one of the 2 following ways: 

1. We will fall over the line in a close, ugly and uninspiring match. The players will act as if they've just won the flag and the club will tell us how we're building momentum. The supporters will roll their eyes, and go to bed with an empty and soulless feeling. 

2. We will lose in a close, ugly and uninspiring match. The players will seem disappointed but ensure that we've improved in certain areas and reiterate that if we didn't have a mental lapse for those 15 minutes we would have won. Goodwin will tell us that while he's disappointed we didn't win, we're not far off. The supporters want to be angry but can't be f'd, the call for Goody's head intensifies.

3. Jesse Hogan will exorcise his Mental Demons and kick 7 Goals and finish our season.

Melksham is a protected species it seems.

In Melksham's contract:

Clause 1A - If you sign with us,you will never be dropped.

Melksham-Ok,i usually play 2 good games a year,so i'll sign.

Scheduling plays a huge part of this year,one of the teams we are competing for a spot in the 8 are the Bulldogs,their fixture is:

Metricon Stadium-Round 5,6,7,8,9,11(Gabba)12,13,14,15(Bye)16

Nup

who cares, can’t do this much longer

born in June 64 

been a member since 85 & are tired so very tired 

Ok I’ll stop winging 

Lucky you,you were on this Earth when we won our last VFL Premiership.

We still haven't won our first AFL Premiership in the national competition and it ain't coming in the next 10 years with this list and coach!!!

We lost the game after quarter time but will take a FIFO win anytime,Jones's 2 turnover goals nearly cost us.

Big Ups to Maxy,May and Trac.

Should finish 6th now,above Pies and Saints.

2nd half bloodbath

Saints by 50+
