How nice to have a competition for all finals spots only a few weeks out from the finals, so heres the thing, what will be the final 8, in order and who's your pick to go all the way?

Here's mine:

Hawthorn

Sydney

Adelaide

Collingwood

West Coast

Geelong

Essendon

North Melbourne

Hawthorn to win the lot in a tight Final against Sydney.

    So you have us losing to GC and GC beating GWS? I really hope we can get over the suns, I fear the meltdown that may ensue...

    I couldn't give a **** about the meltdown, it has already happened many times this season and it'll happen again at some stage.

    I think GC have hit some solid form and we are practically a spent force for the season.

    We don't have anyone the quality of Ablett, we have key outs with injuries, and we're looking more tired each week.

    I really don't care because it's been plain to see for months.

    What we really need is a solid preseason. The injection of quality youth will help, but we need to do our best to improve what we already have. We can't be constantly rebuilding and hoping to win the lottery with a draft pick.

    GWS won't win another game.

    They've solidly hit the rookie wall, and the veterans don't have it in them to play out the season either.

    The losses will get bigger.

    Hawthorn are playing well but they've let all the predictors down since 2008. But they seem a step ahead everyone right now.

    So many games that shape this in the final few rounds. After going through the ladder predictor on the AFL website, I came up with:

    Sydney

    Adelaide

    Hawthorn

    West Coast

    Collingwood

    Geelong

    North

    Essendon

    ------------------

    St Kilda

    Freo

    Carlton

    Richmond

    ......

    But, this is based on:

    Rd 19

    Haw v Geel - Haw

    Ade v Ess - Ade

    Rd 20

    WCE v Geel - WCE

    Ess v Nth - Nth

    Sydney v Collingwood (in Syd) - Syd

    Rd 21

    Gee v St K - Gee

    Ess v Coll - Coll

    Rd 22

    Syd v Haw - Syd

    WCE v Coll - WCE

    Rd 23

    Haw v WCE - Haw

    Gee v Syd - Gee

    St K v Carl - St K

    A few of those go the other way and things could look very different.

    Adelaide are a monty for top 4, and probably top 2, with Melbourne and Brisbane away and Gold Coast, Freo and Essendon at home.

    And if it panned out like that, Collingwood and Essendon in week 1 would be huge.

    Hugely overrated... Collingwood will pump essendon in front of 90,000 fans.

    I just hope Essendon miss finals, so it effectively bumps our mid-round compo pick up 1 place (since they'll take Daniher and we'd never have a chance to get him anyway).

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
