So if Brisbane get the upset (looking possible at the moment) then Adelaide get their home final IF they pull their finger out. If I were Campo, I'd be screaming it into every player's ears at 3QT that beating Geelong means a home final after all.

Come on boys!!

    11 points at 3QT. Going to be an excruciating final quarter.

    Lions missed so many opportunities to put the Dogs away and now trail by 8 points.

    Adelaide's blown it in this fourth quarter. Lions are back on top of the Dogs and that home final remains a chance, but they've let Geelong steamroll them late.

    Brissy giving their supporters some optimism and joy to go into the off season with. This is what we need tomorrow.

    Brisbane taking it to a top 5 team. Tomorrow we play a bottom 10 team and we'll get smashed.

    dogs aren't top 5 even if they win (which looks unlikely)

    Nonetheless, 18th with nothing to play for but pride and they beat a squad about to play finals footy.

    When was the last time we actually played *well* in the last round? (Hint: we were also about to play finals)

    Big deal.

    When the season was still alive we rolled some very, very good sides. The Lions come good in the last round against a side that had a creche down back and were hoping to get through unscathed. Not much to get your knickers in a twist about.

    Angriest person in Australia right now - Scott Camporeale? With that Dogs loss they had the chance to move into 6th and a home final. Instead, they're almost certain to have to play the Dogs at Etihad instead.

    Meanwhile, nice to see Brisbane play their best game in the last round. I know they didn't have Beams, not sure who else wasn't playing, but it would be nice if we didn't routinely consider our final games 'meaningless' and tried to put on a show for the fans.

    yep adelaide stuffed it up but it was always going to be hard beating geelong at there home ground when they are farewelling 3 of there great players.

    But Adelaide should be applauded for actually getting to the finals and achieving what they have this season after what they have been through.

    You mean like beating Geelong at their home ground when they are celebrating one of their all-time favourite players' 300th game? :P

    There's something about the right of screen at Adelaide Oval.

    Screw this round, it's going to cost me a huge windfall in tipping, I can just tell.

    wow what a strange round. The way its going Carlton will probably beat hawthorn.

    More likely the Saints will knock over the Weagles to give the Hawks second spot!

    We are gonna by to finish the year 2 games from a wooden spoon

    Dawks a lazy 9 goals up at 3/4 time....Calton blue baggers .....Wooden Spoon circa 2015.....best thing all season.

    Thanks to the Crows throwing away their home final, I'm equal first in tipping now. Fantastic. :mad:

    Question is, who holds their nerve tipping in the last 4 games that all appear reasonably one-sided? The only surprise upset I can predict is us, but this team hasn't won a single time that I've tipped them this year.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
