Believe me Essendon fans don't want the spoon. They haven't won one in decades. Finishing bottom would hurt them more. 

First pick in draft will more than ease the pain of finishing 18th rather than 17th.

    Just a complete joke. Half their list is suspended for being convicted drug cheats and they get handed pick 1 as consolation prize, when Brisbane clearly need it more and get no players back next year to ease the pain.

    Just a total effing joke. I think my brain may actually explode if O'Meara walks to them via the PSD.

    Emotional conundrum:

    Go for The Filth and see Hawks' finals compromised

    or

    Go for the Hawks so The Filth don't finish 10th above us....

    Go for the Pies to win by less than about 5 goals so their % 'age stays below ours and Hawks don't get the double chance! 

    Win, Win, Win!

    It will be incredibly sad if we end up 12th after being 9th a week ago :(!!

    At the moment the Pies are still below us.

    True. Pies by 1 point with a goal after the siren

    Our 100+ loss and losing to Carlton to the end of the season has brought us that ridiculous gift. Neither should have happened. We've been clearly better than the pies this season but could finish below them. 

    Man i'm p!ssed at the players for finishing the year with such a disgraceful performance. 

    On your choice, I still want pies to win. Hopefully they only win by a point though. But seeing Hawks not win the premiership trumps a little pride for our ladder position.

    Yeah I don't see the Pies getting above us by 2%, but it would be amazing to see Hawthorn finish outside the top 4.

    Speaking of percentage, it's annoying how easy it is to improve your percentage with a few goals, yet Brisbane's percentage actually went UP today after losing by 50+ points.

    the margin is more than 5 goals......more like 8-9 goals, so i think 11th is safe

    Are Essendon barracking for Collingwood so they get pick 26 for Hibberd instead of 27? :P Nah mate, we're all united in our hatred for Hawthorn

    with academy/father-son picks the pick 26 will slide anyway

    Hawthorn still gets a fair run with the umps.

    of course - it's not like #freekickhawthorn is a myth!

    What was it that Lake or Lewis said? They put the 3 umpires names and pictures up on the board every game and some of the players say 'hello Ray, how's it going?' etc. I think he said they do everything they can to get an edge.

    Seriously, that last three minutes of umpiring was so pro Hawthorn that it was laughable

    Worth acknowleging Matthew Pavlich's achievement.  Last game today.  Only the 3rd player to play 250 games and kick 700 goals.  Not bad for someone who started as a defender.

    Has been a loyal servant of his club thru dark times.   His teammates might just pull a rabbit out of a hat and win the game for him!

    Mate, they even dress the half time Auskickers up in red and black.

    • 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.
