This is good for us! Opens up the top 4, but more importantly means if we win tomorrow we are a lot safer in the 8. 

Port play Pies next week.

    great result for us. Pies beat Port next week and we beat Sydney tomorrow and Port cannot finish higher than us

    The "Jack Watt's moves to Port and still fails to play finals" story is a possibility, and would be pretty sad for him.

    Ah well, we will just have to beat Meth Coast twice in a month over there.

    Why? Hawthorn and Eagles winning is dream scenario. Fewer teams in contention is good. Really don't understand people wanting Geelong and Port to win today.

    That was great result for us! Don't know how anyone could think otherwise. If Brisbane win tonight, it locks one of Port or Collingwood onto 12 wins until the final round of the year. It's great for our finals chances, so long as we win against Sydney.

    Stop dreaming about finishing 2nd. West Coast were way too far ahead as it is and they have less to play for next week. Win win.

    Maybe take a 2nd look at their reasoning.

    Faint top 2/3 hopes. I'm all in on insurance plan.

    Agree praha. Won't count for squat though, if we can't capitalise tomorrow.

    We can still finish 2nd. 4th, 5th or 6th is most likely but I can't see either of GWS or WC dropping. Hawthorn may replace us in top 4. but we get a home final.

    Another exciting finish, sure. But in those final frantic minutes I was thinking a 50 metre goal square would make this really exciting.

    Wet coke winning is a good result for us. We have to make the 8 first and foremost. With their injuries I would dare to say that port may not win another match.

    Port had the ball in there forward half with 90 seconds to go, to then allow 2 goals is a choke of epic proportions

    I wonder, if we'll have the guts to throw Tom MacDonald back in defence for a quarter if we have a solid lead in the last, like the Eagles had the guts to throw McGovern forward for a quarter.

    Finally someone spoken out about geelong. https://www.3aw.com.au/game-day-hawthorn-v-geelong-at-the-mcg/

    Geelong legend Jimmy Bartel said it’s not good enough.

    “You can’t have that top-end talent, that experienced coaching panel, a massive home-ground advantage, and miss the finals,” Jimmy said.

    ...and the Umpire review panel......

    Mate you and so many others can cream your tweeds about making the finals, a Port win meant we had 2nd place in our own destiny, win 3, we had 2nd guaranteed, Port losing today means we have to rely on other results.

     

    I don’t give a rats clacker about making the 8, this is an open season, any team can make the Grand Final where anything can happen, I wanted us to have the best opportunity to do that, Eagles winning limits it.

    You know teams can win from outside the top 4 now, don’t you? 

    Besides, you’re dreaming if you think we could finish top 2. West Coast play Brisbane in round 23. It was never going to happen. 

    I want to make the 8. That is first and foremost. The rest we can worry about later.

    • 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.
