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.

    We'll need to win all 4 games

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
