    If we are to win, I’d want North and GWS to win and that propels us into the top 4.

    If we beat Geelong we want a GWS win, but if we lose a Port win would be handy.

    My head and heart say GWS tho....

    GWS don't have Patten, Cameron or Phil Davis? Going to be hard, I hate both teams.

    Forget about top 4. We need the filth to win as well as Brisbane. Fremantle will be flogged so that won't matter. Carlton winning would be huge but not realistic.

    Why forget the top 4?

    If we win, there’s a possibility we could be in there by the end of the weekend. 

    I’d prefer results that favour us for top 4 than losing and relying on other teams to keep 8th spot alive for us.

    I'd prefer we make the 8 rather than not make it.   ill be cheering on Port.

    Carlton have to win one eventually and wonuldn't it be nice

    A brief period in the top 4 means nothing.  You have to stay there till after R23.  I'd too prefer us winning but until we are a certainty to make the top 8, I'd hope that other competitors for the top 8 lose as best suits us to stay in the top 8.

    We win the next three and we are a good chance to make a credible run for top 4.  It’s a big ask at this stage with 2 tough away games first up. Ladder predictor assumes we will struggle with these but if we break through we then have 3 out of 4 at home.

    Realistically we said goodbye to the top 4 when we lost to Port and confirmed our absence with the loss to the Saints.

    If we win three of the next six we will have done well. Assuming we do have the three wins the best we can hope for is that the cards fall our way and we do not have to travel in week one of the finals. We would be unlucky if we ended up in Adelaide playing Port or the Crows.

    It would be even nicer if the next few finals fell our way at the MCG, assuming we overcome our present absence of form on that ground.

    Unfortunately if we start dropping games we have no choice but to rely on teams doing us favours to stay in the 8.

    My point is, after relying on one particular team to complete R23 last year which that alone was bad enough,  I don’t think many of us would be able to handle 4-5 weeks of needing non- MFC games to go our way. 

    Curious as to how many of us would have taken a 10-6 record after 16 rounds at the start of the season? And to think we could still miss....?

    St Kilda with their second straight Friday night game.  And they have another one in Round 21.

    No doubt the AFL’s cracked crystal ball showed them making a heroic and inspired run for the finals.

    could never understand how people had us at the same ranking as the Saints given that Riewoldt and Montagna were such fantastic contributors week in week out.

    Mind you we did lose to them so perhaps the pundits were onto something.

    If we are to lose tomorrow night, it's essential that North lose, as they're clearly one of the sides trying to take our spot in the 8.

    Same with Hawthorn but they'll smack Carlton.

    A Brisbane win over Adelaide would also be massive as it would effectively kill Adelaide's season at 8-9 and they might not be in a great head space when we play them next week.

    Brisbanes next 4 games -

    Adelaide - North - Geelong - Collingwood

    They have hit form at the right time and could be our best friends on the run home.

    That free to martin against armitage was horrible. I hope one of our guys become untouchable like the martins dangerfields and abletts have been.

    Losing to St Kilda hurts more every time I watch them. Not switching on until the last 3 minutes is going to cost us. 

    They are complete [censored].

    Is it starting with Brayshaw, getting five's from umpires?  They favour successful teams and players in them.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • 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?
