If things go our way, theres a good chance we would be playing the Cats in consecutive weeks.  Wouldn't that be something? Getting ahead but I wonder if it would be held at Etihad or Kardinia park? Doubt it would be at the MCG.

Dont think we will need to worry about the percentage gap between us and the Kangas for Round 23,  as it will evaporate next weekend when the Swans mash them.

It'll be at the G.

There is no chance of a final between two Victorian clubs being held anywhere other than the G.

Let's just focus on beating Carlton next week and see what happens.

    so whats a rough points differential for what we have to make up now? I wouldn't have thought it would be much more than us winning by 2 goals each week and them losing by roughly 2 goals the next 2 weeks?

    I'm already thinking if we win 2 and they lose 2 its finals time baby! How heartbreaking would a Geelong win be followed by a North win against GWS

    I wonder if Derwayne has realised we can still make the 8 yet.

    I'm sure he has now that we are the only contender left standing. When there were 1, 2, many he couldn't get his head around such large numbers.

    It's about 60 points.

    If we win both games and they lose both games, then that's an average of 15 point margins for each game.

    If we beat Carlton by 30 and they lose to Sydney by 30, then I think that will have our percentages roughly equal going into Round 23.

    I wish I had known that. Investing $100 for a potential $2.5 Million payout is better than TattsLotto.

    I think youd have to invest $1000, if my math is right? Still.

    Actually, if it does go down to the Geelong game, and its a sellout, i wonder if they would televise it?

    That scenario is very possible.

    I think Geelong will finish 4th and GWS finish 5th. Geelong have some percentage boosting wins coming up.

    Like against Ricmond? lol

    Sadly at KP, so would be a sell out regardless. As for televising it it'll depend on who's covering the game, seven or Foxtel. 

    Incidentally I wonder at what point will the AFL stop having us as a KP away team. They haven't sent Pies, Essendon, Carlton, Richmond down there for years but surely we could argue potential higher gate returns away from Geelong. 

    Alternative could be Etihad, not sure I want that! :wacko:

    Not sold out yet but only single seats available since I looked on Friday unless you use the resell facility. Even appears standing room might be sold out since there's no GA category to select. Seven is doing the game on the usual 90 min delay for a Saturday arvo game. Probably out of their hands and up to the AFL.

    There will be something poetic about getting to play Geelong a second time, if we can beat them in r23.  We will have simultaneously given GWS a huge incentive to Beat the Kangas and make the top 4 if we beat Geelong. I wonder if the margin of a GWS win over the Kangas would decide whether we would play Geelong or at Spotless v GWS. Will also decide if we make the 8. Interesting scenario's at play

    Lets worry about getting past Carlton first.

    We should smash them but I am not yet at the point where I can trust our lads to do what they should

    Let's hope that the AFL moves our Round 23 match to the "G"!

    If us and Geelong both win next week, the final round could well turn out to be of blockbuster proportions and it would be silly having it played in the smallest capacity ground in Victoria!

    I wish. Not going to happen though.

    During the last five minutes of the TWSNBN and GC game he commented how TWSNBN would cost us a position in the Eight, nice eh?

    But it's not their home ground.

    If all grounds were the same size, same dimensions and played the same you could mount an argument but they truly have a home ground advantage in Geelong and that doesn't even include all the supporters they will have.

    Will help of Adelaide or GWS drop games next weekend as it will reduce pressure on cats for top 4 in the final week. 

  • Quote

    I still can't see this happening, but honestly I think if we make the 8, we have more of a chance to win the first week than North or West Coast if they play away from home. Both are a waste of space in the 8.

    What's the story with the ticketing for the Geelong game ? If only single tickets are on sale does that mean only single seats are left ? Hard to justify spending the $100+ on the resale multiple tickets... & does that mean standing room is gone too ?

    This is why it does my head in that they can play so many home games away from their home ground.

    It will still take a mammoth effort to get there, but how good would it be to face Geelong with a legit chance of making it?  I'll be a nervous wreck.

    Regardless of the outcome, it holds us in good stead for 2017 and we can look forward to seeing our boys put in another strong off season in anticipation of finals football.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
