Zac Jones could easily be out for a couple of weeks after that late bump there.

    Swans start 0-6 last year and miraculously make the finals, this year they could go 0-6 to finish the year and sensationally miss.

    Looks like last year the Band Aids got them home....

    Should go for two for that, but Merrett should get one for the staging from the one at first bounce.

    Hurley and Stringer laughing on the bench with 1 min to go despite not being in the 8. Makes me sick. 

    And yet the press focus on Bernie smiling with Danger....

    The way Sydney is playing, we are every chance to beat them in a fortnight.

    Tomorrow night is huge for us, now. A clear opportunity to win the next three is open to us if we apply ourselves.

    With Sydney's downturn in form, this draw is opening up for us slightly. Win tomorrow and we're still in it up to our necks.

    I was going to mention it today but thought I'd let it play out. 

    There for the taking if we really want it. Could really put the pressure on the Powa if we win tommorow night.

    Yes, finals are there for the taking for us. Ours to [censored] up really.

    Certainly if we can keep on winning anything is possible.

    We had our fate in our hands last year and fluffed it: the players keep on about being gutted,  so they had better bloody well show it for the next 2 ½ months !

    Need Port and GWS to have shockers.

    C'mon Dees, win this weekend!

    Our result is obviously most important, but wins to the Dogs, St Kilda and Fremantle (vs Hawthorn) are all huge for us.

    If we win and Collingwood lose to Richmond, then we'll be a game off third. We'll go past Sydney (and will have a 15-20% buffer on them, too) and we'll remain a game and percentage clear of Essendon (and North, if they win). We could also move up further if GWS or Port lose.

    In the ridiculous fantasy dream world, we win and each of GWS, Port, Hawthorn, Geelong and North lose. Then we're in the top 4 and we're a game and percentage clear of 9th with 4 games left. Probably somewhere around 0.0000000001%

    If we lose, we'll be level on points with Essendon and Adelaide (and North, if they win). We'll drop below Geelong and Hawthorn assuming they win, and be out of the 8 if both win. 

    The impact of just one game is insanely high.

    We need to hit form and win 4 of the remaining games. No reason why we can't. Have shown the ability, just need to bloody well do it!

    Must rate, otherwise why would stupid 7 do it?

    It's mindless and dumb. Thanks 7

    Wouldn't that be nice?  Having a finals spot wrapped up with two games remaining and be pushing for top 4.

    Perhaps finally we will deliver.

    I know Zak Jones was quite a nuffy today, but i'd still take him for his pace and contested work - And being trade out of Sydney would be a wake up call to pull his head in. I have to wonder if he has lowered his trade value tonight and we could get in on the cheaper (than before). For eg a sydney fans over the top response: "I’m sick of this [censored]. He’s fast becoming a liability and yeah, not worth it. Would gladly give him away, [censored] a trade."

    Obviously we’re going to keep a close eye on the competition but the club internally should only focus on themselves. 

    It’s laid out in front of us and it’s uo to us to make the most of the opportunities available to us. Every game is winnable, just as every game is losable (GC beating Sydney proved 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.
