It could also be that out depth is thin and we need a mini rebuild... hence lack of development via VFL. We've been lucky with injuries... Spargo, Sparrow, and ANB are likely on their last contracts. Problem is we don't actually have anyone to replace them. -

Melbourne - Typical Melbourne Choke

Brisbane's to lose.

pathetic. utterly pathetic.

what do we have to cheer about exactly?

it's been 1 quarter

We go to potato as soon as the ball hits the deck in our defensive 50. Raynor and Cameron must be licking their lips at playing on Petty, Rivers, May and Lever.

i hope the crowd increases in the next 35 minuted from the 12 that are already here.

So is anyone at all confident? Come on, fess up.

Yep. Still we should get to the Prelim at least. Like many have said, anything can happen but our QF performance was not uncommon, it's been a trend this year and so while history favours at least one QF loser to make the GF, I just can't visualise us being there this year. It's less about what Melbourne's not, and more about what Sydney, Collingwood and Geelong *are*. We tighten a few things up in the off season and blood new talent and we're set for a long while yet at the top end of the ladder. Still though after starting 10-0 and finishing second, not at least making the Prelim would be disappointing. Collingwood could go out in straight sets and their season is still a huge success. For us losing to Brisbane would be a failed season in my view. And yes it's one game that makes a difference. Prelims are a whole different ball game. I'll be devastated if we can't get there.

Not at all confident but gee whiz , Brisbane is not Prelim caliber. We should at least get there. A Geelong vs Brisbane Prelim is going to be a snorefest.

I very nearly gave up my AFL membership the last two years. As a Gold tier member i am effectively guaranteed a ticket to the GF if Melbourne makes it... I think I'll hold onto the membership for a few more years at least :p

Melbourne only has 2000ish AFL Members and Brisbane way less so the whole area would be reliant on neutrals + potential for GA to open up there.

Just jumped on their Bigfooty forum and had a rather uneventful discussion with a Lions supporter over there. It went like this: Me: Brisbane sucks! Brisbane supporter: Hey, stop talking bad about my team, man. Me: Why don't you make me. Brisbane supporter: I don't make trash, I burn it. Me: Then I guess you're a garbage man. Brisbane supporter: I know you are, but what am I? Me: A garbage man. Brisbane supporter: Oh, I know you are, but what am I? Me: A garbage man. Brisbane supporter: I know you are, but what am I? Me: A garbage man. It went on and on like this for about 50 responses across a few days now with no signs of slowing down. They're a stubborn bunch at Springfield.

AFL Reserve still has tickets "Level 4 - Front" and now also have General Admission tickets from $10 for members meaning it's basically open gates. My prediction has dropped to 55k.

Problem with a permanent base at Casey is that you limit the talent pool (mostly off-field) when you move operations to outer suburbs. Casey is nice little additional home to have but there must be a reason why it's not being considered long term.
-
A lot to unpack here but the comments re. Jackson's knee and Melbourne’s defensive issues are spot on. Jackson is set for knee surgery this off season. On the defensive concerns I raised a similar concern in another thread, we defend well but transition poorly, and struggle with high pressure small forwards. Hence struggles against Sydney, Collingwood, Bulldogs, and even Freo earlier in the season. I am worried about both Raynor and Cameron on Friday night, they could be genuine game winners.

Gonna bet 52k-57k

Don't disagree mate. Just highlighting what a loss represents. I think we're a good shot against Geelong as well.

No.
