well thats it we better win tomorrow or else. all the footy shows will be talking about essendon and how its great to see them bounce back and they can cause damage to teams.

Next week they have another home game at etihad playing freo. 

Anyway I do hope freo can at least knock of the tigs tomorrow.

    Looks like Essendrug will play finals.

    Proves the were barely punished for the drug cheating regime. They should have been out of the finals for 5 years minimum.

    But they were allowed to keep their top picks, got  handed the easiest draw despite all their returning players, and were allowed to keep their top up players like Tipungwiti who no other club access to as he was never in a draft.

    [censored] you AFL.

    Tippa wasn't a top up player. Was taken in 2015 rookie draft

    Tippa was rookie drafted by us and elevated last year.

    Melbourne could have drafted him if they wanted to.

    I think i'd rather see us and Essendon in the finals. Why would anyone want to see WCE make it and play Port Adelaide, Sydney or Richmond? I would not even tune in. Atmosphere would be a regular season match.

    AFL always wanted them to make it. But as long ad we do i dont care. I hope they Sydney and get smashed.

    Honestly I don't hate Essendon that much anymore. They cheated, but they did their time for that and have ridded themselves of the ringleaders. I still don't want them in the finals but they play a good brand and I'd rather them than the bloody Hawks getting in again.

    Anyway, watching the Gold Coast tonight reminded me of Melbourne in 2012-14. What a spineless rabble they are. Mad Monday can't come quick enough.

    Hate Essendon with a passion.

    Don't care who makes it once we do.

    Yes I hate Meth Coast more than any sporting organisation in the world but honestly more focused on the Dees than anything. 

    Not looking beyond Brisbane tomorrow

    It is so nice that they likely wont be in the finals.

    In fact, despite my Essendon rant earlier, I may just prefer to see them instead of the Eagles.

    So sick of the flat track bullies taking a spot in the 8 and may this be the beginning of their slide down the ladder with Priddis, Kennedy, Hurn, McKenzie etc nearing the end.  Their core players are all 27+ and they lack any young talent.  They might just be in trouble.

    Was hoping GWS would beat WCE by more but beggars can't be choosers.

    We can still make the finals by losing to Brisbane AND Collingwood, right?

    1) We lose both by very small margins.

    2) Dogs lose to Hawks 

    3) Saints lose to Richmond and don't beat north by a million points.

    4) West Coast lose to Adelaide by a few goals.

    Hopefully the players don't get complacent and read the above scenario as it would be a disappointing but feasible  way to make it.

    Is Zac Fisher the twin brother of Wednesday Addams?image.png.cfbdcd32c9c0785839ddbf9f0b959a1c.png

    He's got a bit of John Cazale about him I reckon, and that ain't a good thing.

    I liked it better earlier in the season when I didn't know what Fisher looked like and he was just a rookie on my SC bench who I hoped would get a game and make some cash...he didn't even do that properly.

    Yes, this is now true thanks to Carlton beating Hawthorn (previously had this occurred, Hawthorn would have taken our spot). It would be a matter of holding our percentage over West Coast (and the Dogs and St Kilda, but we're 10% in front of them so that's not as difficult).

    If we win today, the only thing stopping us from making the finals is a loss to Collingwood combined with West Coast thrashing Adelaide next week to catch us on percentage.

    Indeed.  We are around 28 points worth of percentage ahead of West Coast currently.  It would be good if after today that was 70 points, meaning that a 20 point loss to the Pies would still require a 50 point win by West Coast to dislodge us.  Better still Dees, let's just win the last two games unequivocally!

    Fremantle would be loathe to let bitterest rivals WC get into the finals. I would not be surprised if they roll over and let the bummers have a percentage boosting win.

    I think we're giving Fremantle too much credit.

    I don't think they're anywhere near good enough to control the outcome of that game.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
