hello everyone,

who do you think will win the final?

i think either saints or collingwood, they are both pretty strong at the moment,

geelong to be in the final but not to win it. ;)

    Don't Care, i am planning to be overseas.

    Whoever wins it, for me it will be painful as once again it wasn't Melbourne.

    Unlike most people i do not have a 2nd Favourite team.

    I hate all 15 of our oponents (some a little more than others) but still HATE none the less.

    There would be nothing better than a Saints V Doggies GF

    I hope both Carlton and/or Collingwood go out in straight sets

    Depends - out of Geelong / Collingwood / St Kilda.

    The winner will be the one that doesn't play one of the other 3 the week before the Grand Final.

    Whoever does, even though they won, will be too bruised, battered and exhausted.

    Grand Final day is about as close as I come to having a religious day on my calender.

    My hope is that Collingwood make the GF and lose.

    Whether it's StKilda or Geelong or whoever else, I'm am not fussed.

    As a supporter of a club enduring a significant premiership drought, I wouldn't mind seeing the Saints win one.

    with Brad Scott now gone and being a big part of collingwoods coaching . l think we just might see the down fall of the pies.

    With Scott now gone and Malthouse,s Mum Very Very sick in hospital. he is spending most of his time in ballarat. l wounder if his mind will stay on the job ?

    yes they smashed the tigers but lets look at it we almost won when really DB did all to make sure we did not

    Go Sainters....my No 1 team.

    Melbourne has zoomed up the list and is now very firmly my 2nd team because of the Casey connection.

    I was riding home the Jordan McMahon kick for a goal as much as any Demon supporter I can tell you.

    And in Round 22 we seek a very common outcome.....Go Saints.

    This is why we should have our own reserve side. I am not pleased that St.kilda supporters are close by.

    Demons & Saints are diametrically opposed.

    Fix it Vlad.!!!!!

    More or less agree. I think Geelong are still a force, but they are struggling to keep their best team on the ground. Also, look for Adelaide to do some damage in the finals before bombing out in the Prelim. Niel Craig is a spectacular coach and he's got the players to work with.

    My ideal scenario too.

    Except that the last sentence should read: "Both Carlton and Collingwood to go out in straight sets"

    Would love the Dogs/Saints final... With a Dogs win, but I think EVERYONE is wanting that.

    After that, I'd say I hope the Cats will get it, and expect they will. Strong position, they've had their obligatory form did, and will come good at just the right time.

    That, and they deserve it. They're just that good.

  • Quote

    Imagine the out cry and people calling for Malthouse's head if pies do go out in straight sets. Would be worth watching for sure.

    I'd have to back the Saints in at this stage.

  • Quote

    I don't want Collingwood to win it. Nor do I want Carlton or Essendon to win it. Can't stand all of them.

    I don't want the Bulldogs or Saints to win it. (Their last premierships being '54 and '66). I want our Demons to win it before they win their next.

    I'd rather Geelong win it. Fwiw, they deserve it just as much as StKilda do. They've both been the standouts this year (StK 19-1; Geel 17-3).

    If MFC hadn’t:

    • aligned with the Casey Scorpions

    • established a campus at Casey as part of a push to shore up a geographic support base in the area

    then you wouldn’t have me interested in MFC.

    I would have thought my interest as a Casey resident, and also now as an MFC member because of it (albeit as my 2nd team) would be exactly what MFC was hoping to achieve in the first year of a long term foray into the Casey area.

  • Quote

    As long as it isn't Collingwood or Carlton, I don't mind.

    If I had to tip someone right now, St Kilda.

  • Quote

    Collingwood are mega-fresh, which will be an important factor in the finals. Saints and Cats are better teams IMO but play a harder brand of footy (not loose man all the time) and have had a few injuries of late. Touch and go for mine.

    We appreciate your support Casey Scorp, albeit your 2nd team. We also appreciate your updates. I'm sure WYL feels the same, with an open mind.

    I still think that Geelong playing at close to full strength are the best team.

    Saints play 'Etihad' very well and probably have some advantage when they play there. So playing at the MCG will negate the 'home ground' advantage they had over the cats last time.

    Also, Geelong were asleep in the 1st quarter of that game, but won the other 3 quarters i believe on the scoreboard. They were missing a few players and St. Kilda were at full strength. Its just a matter of whether they can get the likes of Scarlett, Chapman, S. Johnson, Rooke, G. Ablett, and Harley all fit at the same time. Ottens would be handy too, but its questionable that he'll be able to have a significant impact if he can actually play.

    Geelong to DEF St. Kilda for mine in a tight contest...

    (Collingwood the darkhorse. As much as it sickens me to say...They seem to play very well against Geelong, and they could find themselves in the GF if they can knock the Cats off in Week1..)

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
