I’d rather Collingwood win. With their injury list they won’t go far in finals. Gives us breathing space on swans for next week?

No Way. The Filth lose and we win, the Top 4 opens up. 

I would love a crack at Richmond in Week 1

    Even if Essendon losing was a bad result for us, it's hard not to smile knowing how miserable their supporters must be feeling right now. Another year of failure for Brendon Floggard. 

    Watching those drug cheats enjoy finals last year (well, for 2 minutes before the bloodbath against Sydney) off the back of a compromised fixture (for artificially finishing 18th in 2016) while we missed out was insufferable and maddening. Even if we miss this year, I'll take solace from the fact the [censored] drug cheats missed too.

    I still think Pies will slide anyway, I don’t want Swans to get their confidence up

    The Swannettes are sitting right on the edge. If we are any good we will beat them next week

    We must aim for Top 4. It is available...

    Of course. Lose to the $un$ and we deserve nothing.

    Absolutely have to hope Pies win tonight. Swans win and it’s more likely teams can miss finals with 13 wins

    Why oh why the around the corner? Take your full 30 kiddo.

     

    No. 1 draft pick with a skunk-skin haircut gives North the game with a foolish rushed miss from 25 m with a set shot.

    Doesnt matter how he played before that...Rayner lost it for Bris, and typical of North’s luck, kept them in the finals race.

    He could hardly have missed if he’d lined it up, plus he could have taken another half minute off the clock.

    Geelongs luck ran out last night. North’s will soon, I hope, though their run home is easy.

    Great. Will make up for the crap losses we had earlier. 

    I understand people wanting certain teams to win or lose, i just want the MFC to keep winning, match harden for September, it’s wide open if the Filth lose and Josh Kennedy has a dodgy leg

    Glad Hawthorn won. If Essendon won there would have been 9th, 10th and 11th on 44 points. That’s 3 teams that can replace us in the 8. Big bummer that North won.

    It felt so unreal. Like they were going to take it back or something. Unbelievable, North shouldn't miss from here.

    Went to the Dorks - bummers game.  Neither has a game for finals.  No pressure,  must have been the lowest number of ball ups I’ve seen.  Low tackle counts.  Hawks too clever in their 50.  Bummers only good when they spread from half back.  Not scared of either.

    We really need North to drop one of their last three. That will stop them getting to 14 and with the 17.2% gap between us that should mean 13 wins keeps us above them.

    But we need another team to stay on 13 wins in order to play finals. Geelong is one option, they just need to lose to Hawthorn next week and 13 is their limit (though the percentage gap between them and us is only 8.5% at the moment). Sydney is another - they can only lose once to make it to 14 and they have GWS on the road as one of them. So if they drop one more (and for us to get to 13 that should hopefully be their game against us), they'll also cap out at 13.

    The problems for us start with North running the table and moving to 14. If that happens, and if Geelong beats Hawthorn next week, the pressure ramps up for us. We'd then need Sydney to flop (losing to Collingwood tonight becomes very useful for us) but we probably also need Sydney to then knock Hawthorn off in the last round. Otherwise we're then starting to hope for Port or Collingwood to fall apart and only win once more out of their last four.

    Of course, if we just take destiny into our own hands and get to 14 ourselves, none of this matters.

    North will win all 3. Mark them down to finish on top of us.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
