    Never change Freo. Long may you continue to fail when excepted to win and win when expected to lose. Bless you, you hideously boring team. 

    Great weekend of results for us, except North losing. But what else can you expect from those [censored]?! Will hate forever.

    The North result is debatable.  The only really bad one was bloody Richmond not beating GWS.

    If we had just gotten a win against garbage teams Port or St Kilda we would be in such a great position.

    No point crying over spilt milk though.  Bring on the Cats.

    Well that round couldn't have gone much better, barring an Essendon and Giants loss. Woo!

    True. Richmond not winning was bad. 

    Sydney winning pushed us down a spot. North winning wouldn’t have changed that.

    We can redeem ourselves by beating one of Geelong, Sydney or West Coast. Plus of course we need to beat GC and take care of Adelaide.

    North/Sydney result matters depending on whether we need the result to make top 4 or 8.

    yep, and as I've posted earlier, I'm risk averse.  If we make the finals outside the top 4, the season will be a success. If we don't make the 8 there will be wrist slitting all round.

    Port and Collingwood lose next week and we win we will be 4th. Lose and we are just surviving in the 8.

    Based on a few ladder predictors I've done with conservative results if we lose the next 2 games we could be sitting 10th.

    Well we had better not lose then  -  simple really.

    True.

    One other good thing about all these upsets is that it will likely take 13 wins to make the 8 now. it was looking like it may take 14 there for a while.

    So if we win 3 of the last 6 we will make it.   And top 4 is there for the taking.

    As as bizarre as it might also seem...just atm...as the final 8 might result according to Squiggle...we could play the Tigers in a prelim before the GF ;) Such a funny game Footy at times

    looking at that ladder is painful. We'd be on top if we had beaten Port, Geelong and Saints !!

    Every time I look at the ladder I think the same. I really feel that the best is yet to come and many will be surprised.

    Wow the pies dropped to 5th after there loss but have got back up to 3rd. Next week there are some important games. Us v Geelong, Collingwood v Nth and Port v GWS. Cannot stress the importance of us winning next week to get the 2 game break on the cats and hopefully collingwood lose to nth so we can climb a spot. But yeah you think if only we beat at least stkilda like we should have we'd be 3rd. 

    Anyone else get this scary feeling our finals could come down to r23 against the giants when of course they will be at full strength then.

    If we can't beat Top 8 teams do we really deserve to make the finals?

    No

    Strangely the tenet of many a post.

    Nope. As it is I think we will get bundled out week 1 (unless we make top 4 which is very unlikely). Gotta take a scalp.

    • 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.
