That would be the worst result by far for us.

Our advantage over both teams is our percentage which would then become irrelevant.

I'm hoping for a North win. Making the finals is in our hands, making the top 4 is still possible, but we need games to go right. And FMD,  we have to make sure that if/when we do make the finals for the first time in 5 Prime Minsters that we can see them play at the MCG rather than an interstate game. We must be 5 or 6 to ensure that.

    they'd go a game ahead of us; don't want that

    Think it’s more that north would be a game behind us, not equal.

    draws take percentage out of the equation BB. It's one thing we have in spades.

    Probably better to take our chances with knocking one of them off

    Would keep North a game (and percentage) behind us.

    Florent handballed back into the corridor that led to a goal, now just fumbled badly and has cost them a second. Scores equal. Florent at fault for both.

    Sydney had no business winning that, really. Bunch of players out, Kennedy goes down early.

    Would have preferred a North win given I don't really like Sydney, but possibly the better result for us. We're now a game and percentage clear of all of Geelong, North and Hawthorn.

    North still have Collingwood, West Coast, Brisbane (away) and Adelaide (away) in their run home. They needed that.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
