I’ve watched a few of the women’s matches and have been impressed by the inside 50’s effort. Unfortunately, it seems easy for the opposition to bring it back out. I think if we can hold it in there or better still, convert more efficiently, we have the game style to produce a winning score.

Ladder after round 6.

 

Basically any of the top 5 teams can make the GF (if I have the logic right).

From the Top -  If:

  • Bulldogs win - in GF at Home
  • Demons win - in GF at Home
  • Crows win can dislodge loser of Bulldogs vs Demons and into GF as they have extra points for drawn game
  • GWS win can dislodge loser of Bulldogs vs Demons and go into GF as they have extra points for drawn game
  • Both Crows and GWS win the one with the higher % will go into the GF
  • Lions win go into the GF if Crows lose and their % is better than loser of Demons vs Bulldogs.  (This is the only scenario in which our % counts).

We must win next week!  Or we rely on Lions to beat GWS (by just a small margin)  and Pies to beat Crows. 

We might look back and rue the game we lost badly to Freo after having the proverbial 'unassailable lead' at the end of the first quarter

Again we hold our destiny in our own hands!  Go Dees!

 

Thanks to @dl4ethere is another outcome -  a draw with Bulldogs will see both teams into the GF

If indeed there is a draw next week, won’t GWS pass us on percentage if they win big?

Win big a big thing. Only a couple of points to play with against them but brissy win by a goal anyway.

To make the gf we have to beat Footscray at at their home ground. Not a happy hunting ground. Are we set for another 1987 thriller?

Really bad luck for Mel bloody horrible ,we are going to miss her   

Yes bad news for Mel but we probably won't miss her too much as we have a ready made replacement in Jakobsson who will, hopefully, be right to return from injury. Very much quality like for quality like.

Potentially silly question - what date is the Grand Final? Is it next Saturday or Sunday?

Google searches giving me nothing....

On the Saturday, and there saying it's likely to be at Ikon park, as they don't want to run it before one of the mens games. Kinda makes sense as besides Brissy (who are only a small chance of making it) all other mens teams play on the Friday or Sunday.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
