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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
