If we are serious we will take the fattest s*** on Melbourne. They are ****ed.

They might have more than that, but they aren’t GWS fans. They are fans of other clubs who are a chance at making finals covering all bases should their team make a GF - each competing club gets what - 15k tickets to a GF? If they only have 5k actual members who are guaranteed a ticket, it’s a pretty easy way to get a second chance crack at a ticket. I can’t afford to do that, but I’m sure some diehards do. I remember hearing about it when Richmond played them in the GF

Definition of mixed emotions….watching Norf break their losing streak, against your team, costing them a finals berth just so you can get a root

I'm not going to get ahead of myself here given our yo yo like form, but I've read some Melbourne supporters who think last night was a good result for them. That they can now get back on track.
Almost every top 8 side is shitting the bed. If we can’t make finals from here it’ll be time to reconsider Bevos position.
Losing to north would make that a certainty…I pray it doesn’t come to that.

Most of them weren’t top 8 sides to begin with that’s why they are shitting the bed
Geelong and Port were always decent chances to regress. I’m a little more surprised at GWS and Melbourne, but one or both of those could get their mojo back I suppose.
None of them look good right now though and we play all of them in the run home. This has broken well for us, if we keep a consistent level of performance (which has obviously been problematic for a couple of years now).

It does seem remarkably easy and it doesn’t even look like it gets too hard either with teams like the Cats & Demons falling off.
Feels like one of those years where they play every team at the right time. They’ve only had two ‘good’ wins this year over us & GWS. The rest have been very meh.

Just seems you look at the fixture every week see who they play and think 'another easy game'. Weird.

If you think it seems easy for them it must mean that you think they are a half decent team by default.
They are a decent team, they should play finals but no doubt their fixture has been a blessing. Meanwhile we get double ups vs the top sides and all the bogey teams that live rent free in our heads.

How do they miss that Merrett throw? I genuinely can’t believe what’s happened with the umpiring this year.

Half decent. Not a second placed side. Not even close.
Anyway, good luck to them. We'll see what happens in September.

I reckon we've had a pretty good run this year (and definitely last year for what it's worth). Just didn't take advantage of it

Don’t you know?
The Bulldogs are the only team that throws it, everyone else handballs 100% of the time
I sort of agree. Bombres have a more favourable fixture, but they still have to win those games and have continued to win them. They aren’t top 4 but they are consistent.
If we were even half as consistent we would be next to Collingwood.
I kicked 14 goals in a game for Mulgrave
To your point - they fell over the eagles today who were missing Kelly and Reid. Their run home includes a cooked dees, horrid saints, freo and suns at home. They'll almost certainty finish top 4.
Our ladder position would look a lot different with their fixture, even with our wobbly start.

We've had 9 of 14 games at Marvel or Ballarat (including games against Gold Coast and West Coast who are either very good or competent at home and dog shit away). Got to play against the oldest team of all time off a five day break without Dangerfield. Got to play against Collingwood at their weakest. Our draw has been quite favourable until now, we just threw games away and didn't take advantage. At worst we should be sitting at 9-5 and in fourth right now. It does look like it gets tougher after the North game
