It is entirely 100% in our hands as to where we finish - even second, with double chance and home finals is possible .... in fact WILL happen if we win all our games.

So ...no excuses.

Every season is in our hands, we should win 22 each year?

i sense you are more of an optimist than me. We have two of the toughest games possible coming up and off our form this year we won’t win them. So we need to win the next two and squeeze on in 13.

Better this week than next. 

Let’s hope it doesn’t kick them into gear for next week. Sick of swans hawks cats!

If we want to win a flag this year, the Sydney win was the perfect result for us.
If we just want to Bradbury our way to an extra footy game this year, well then bad luck.

Bradbury plan is flawed because it's in our hands anyway. We need to win the two games. Win then and we're home. Our percentage takes care of the rest. We can't Bradbury it through. 

 

What a great day. Bummers lose and the pies lose both by tiny margins. 

Ok melbourne team no pressure but if you can handle it tomorrow we can be in 3rd spot. 

Wow AFL I don't think we need zones and 6 on 6 and all that crap. This round has been great. Footy will fix itself. 

 

Just wondering...when was the last time Melbourne played Collingwood in a final?........i just have this feeling.

Yes just leave our game alone AFL!

Top 4 is well and truly open now. 

Tell you what if we can win this week & next our last two rounds will be epic games. Bigger than 8 point games if that's even possible

Well they honed their ' skills ' with a good win against Gold Coast so they're in form. !!!

Bradbury didn't fall over, which is what we'd be doing if we were to lose all our games.

Win 1 v Gold Coast and find 1 more somewhere (Sydney next week…equivalent to keeping out skates on the ice), and we're in barring some ridiculous set of mathematical permutations. That's the Bradbury route in my mind.

GWS will beat Carlton though. 

Well it's in our hands now win and we are 4th. GO THE MIGHTY DEES!

Wow.....thanks SWYL, that was a lifetime ago.


Happy to have the swans find some form, much better to play some tough games heading into the finals, test ourselves, win all (or all but 1) and we will have a good ladder position and more importantly a lot of confidence going into the finals 

Geez I hope we upset the trend hand out 100 pointer.

How can you Bradbury your way to a flag?

It was a marvellous day


Looking at Hawthorn in 3rd spot makes me ill.....how the hell?

That was so long ago I’ve forgotten that game. I was probably there.

Think it’s 70 years since Melbourne played Tigers in a final. Maybe Bluey Truscott’s last game. 

 

I thought Buddy heroics aside Sydney were still pretty bad, their midfield is ordinary at the moment

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.
