Seemingly do or die for us in what is being billed as a Preliminary Final. Home ground advantage for them and their brilliant captain probably back as well. We are in form and will be looking to make amends for last year missing out on the Grand Final by percentage. 

With light winds and decent weather forecast this match, between the two originators of this comp, could well be the game of the year.

    I’m in a bit of a dilemma. It’s my birthday on Saturday, and wifey has organised a party at our place. Do you think it would be rude for me to watch the game on 7mate? I figure it is my birthday, after all.

    Definitely game of the year - two in form teams and everything at stake.

    BTW the game is at Whitten Oval.  Live on FTA: '7mate' at 7pm

    Well I’m an idiot, thank you for the correction. What’s that saying about assuming?

    Not meaning to correct - I posted the WO venue just in case readers headed off to Casey. 

    At least it is on 7mate.

    Really looking forward to it. Never been to a women's game. Live in Altona and love going to the footy at Whitten. Will take my daughter as will my demon loving mate. 

    Had a pretty solid bet on the deed to make the grand final, getting what I thought at the time to be the top odds of 2.20. So if we win I'll have another reason to celebrate.

    Well brisbane did us a favour but by too much.

    We approach the dogs pregame and ask them to shake hands and play out a 1-1 draw. Dogs are automatically through to the final and as long as the Crows don't belt the Pies we will be too. Both teams don't have to worry about injuries and get a bit of rest to then play out an epic final in front of a big crowd. Simple.

    I don’t know about anytime else but I’m extremely nervous/ excited for tonight’s game.

    predictions anyone? 

    Whilst the inclusion of Katie Brennan is huge for the dogs, I reckon they will become too Brennan-centric and predictable when entering forward 50 and our defence will pick them off. 

    Mind you i have similar concerns re: Cunningham :/

    jeez I don’t know - Dees by a goal! 

    CARN LA-DEES!!

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
