Thoughts on Sydney?

Sitting on 11 wins and play ESS (A) COLL (H) MELB (A) GWS(A) HAW (H)

I think their run is tough and they're a risk of falling out of 8

Oh hell. Oh hell. My brain just broke.

I looked across some more fixtures and have to say it -  There is a real possibility that at the end of the season there could be 6 teams on 14 wins, stretching from 3rd to 8th. A slim chance, but a chance.

It is conceivable, just barely conceivable, than in round 23, the Demons and Giants will be playing for a top-4 spot for the winner and 9th for the loser.

Now that it has been shown possible, I feel it is inevitable.

so we win 4 out of 5....as the great man Kerrigan said..... "Tell em they're dreaming"

Win against Adelaide and we will make it. 

Lose against them and we are very long odds

 

so like I know the crows are in form etc and at their shithole but like we did kinda beat them by 2934823984 points about 8 weeks ago. Like surely we are a chance guys - I think we will win Adelaide / GC and one of the other games not sure which hopefully Sydney but its all still doable - I rate the Adelaide game a better chance than SYD / GWS / WC for sure

Lets have a friendly wager. Winner chooses loser's avatar until the eve of round one next year.

Good bet for you given your confidence 

haha deal. i'll cyber shake to that binman :)

i obviously hope i'm wrong but i'm quite confident. just like i was with watts saying that pick 31 would be better and watts will be dropped mid season. could a person be any more correct on a given issue? lol

Haha, excellent wager!

As for trying to predict the run home, I reckon anyone who started predicting this just two weeks ago has already been blown out of the water.

@Little Goffy Your brain will break further if you ponder on the fact that if we go into that game 2/4 and GWS are 4/4, then they will probably be locked in 4th and will undoubtedly rest/play bruise free footy and we'll probably finish 6th or so with a win. I kind of think that is a safer option than battling for top 4 and missing out on finals if we lose which is absurd.

                            Melb        WC

Inside 50s          85            35

Free kicks           8             27

Goals kicked      12           18

Spot on!

Can someone please tell me when the Round 23 fixture is finalised?

There's been a push for whoever's the higher finisher to have 'earnt' a home final.

..and that explains why the White Brethren have done so much to influence game outcomes this year ...

Amazingly accurate, just calculated the same result : WC 108pts, MELB 70pts.

My crystal ball then enabled me to analyse the number of queries raised on the umpiring errors. No. of Queries: Nil.

Next week, probably early.

AFL website are guessing we've got the Saturday arvo timeslot.

But given we're coming back from Perth, surely the league would give us Sunday to enjoy the extra day's break??

We will beat suns and maybe swans, lose the rest. No finals.

The Swans are likely to beat ess...also a good show to take care of the pies...esp if pies have a hard game against toiges

It's kinda the butterfly effect...they'll be on a roll looking to cement a top 4 possie...when they meet.....us.

The Swans I sense is our most 'dangerous ' game after the Crows. If we sink in the pea soup tomorrow I'm not game to look too far ahead anymore.

And there really is a tooth fairy.

Assuming neither GWS nor Melbourne bomb out in the next few weeks, surely GWS V Melbourne will be the final game of the home and away season. It could completely reshape the final 8 and would have the fans of as many as five or six clubs all watching riveted.

I know it’s probably an obvious thing to say but I really feel like we are one big win away from this team kicking into the next gear. And I don’t mean big win in terms of margin against a lower team I mean getting a win against a contender that will give the players the confidence in themselves and each other. 

I’ve still become pragmatic about this season (I guess it’s MFCSS) but it does still keep that little spark in my heart alive!

Agreed. But it will take a huge effort to win THAT game

Do they have strength to do it this year???

I actually think they’ve got that and more inside them, it’s all mental barriers now. Whether they can break through those barriers this year remains to be seen. I think they are haunted by past demons (no pun intended) dating back to times they weren’t even alive. Because they shoulder the hopes and dreams of a club thats been struggling in the wilderness for so long and laughed at by the competition (and continues to be laughed at) they have to overcome those issues as well as their own. 

But Richmond did it last year, and I honestly feel like we can do it this year (though not to their achievements).

Agree and there’s a few of those coming up, WCE, SYD and GWS.

Can you please inform me of tonight's lotto numbers? I need to know which ones NOT to play...

I'd love to win tonight to both strengthen our chances, and also significantly dent a "resurging" Adelaide's chances. Sydney is absolutely gifting us a home final, if we'd beaten St Kilda and Geelong like we should have we'd be a lock for at least 6th.

The problem with Adelaide, Sydney and WC is their tall forwards. I'd much rather be playing Richmond, Collingwood and Port again in these final 5 weeks because we match up better with them with both Hibberd and Lever out, and I'd fancy our chances more against them than the aforementioned. Given our outs, we are coming up against the worst possible teams. Just our luck.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
