Even though they will win GWS are the losers out of this game. Another 2 long term injuries. Shaw knee looked shredded, could be the end for him.

Shaw looks fine on the bench. Icing the knee. No ice for structural damage. I say bruising and back for Melbourne game. 

Meantime they can’t lose. 

What’s happened to “sauce” Jacobs? Last year he was brilliant, he has been Spencer (sorry Spencil) bad this year.

I hope for our sake you’re right 

Now that the dream of second died with a Jeremy McGovern kick after the siren, let us focus our energy on putting the mozz on North. If they lose and we win, we are two games and significant percentage ahead of 9th and 10th, and the chances of us missing the 8 go from “enough to make us s*** ourselves” to “mathematically still possible but the biggest kind of unlikely”.

God I hope we win tomorrow. I really need to be able to put my mind at ease for a little while at least!

 

Well with tonight’s results it’s setup a nice blood boiling, heart tugging, pressure cooking Sunday afternoon/evening. Can’t wait!

Given there is a bye round thats playing with fire

If we win tomorrow and beat West Coast next week, our GWS clash in round 23 will be for third. I doubt they’d be so keen to face Richmond at the MCG in a qualifying final to take it easy against us.

The Realists must be happy with that GWS win and Adelaide being ruled out of contention. We don't want to slip lower than 9th

Us realists don't care if we slip lower than 9th if we are out of the 8.  That won't mean much given the nature of the season.  We want to ensure we don't slip lower than 8th.  I bet you idealists will scream more loudly than  any of us if we miss the 8.

Are you really that surprised that after 12 years of not playing finals at all, some of us can't help but focus on actually making the top 8 this year?

Not as loudly as you realists blaming us for putting the mozz on it hehe

If you're going to troll, at least come up with something half intelligent.

Adelaide were never in contention for finals; they're stuck on 10 wins like the Bombers with a terrible percentage. It's increasingly clear 13 wins + good percentage is the qualifier for finals this year, so any team with under 10 wins stealing points off teams above them is a win.

Completely different story for Port who have the exact same wins as us and would've leapfrogged us if they'd beaten the Eagles today. It's really not hard to see the difference and how we benefit from Port losing.

I think you've covered all bases there Nasher.  

My resting heart rate just shot up. Thanks 

I really hope you can all sleep tonight. Goodnight Demonland, tomorrow is a huge day.

Ok so we have to win tomorrow. Cannot stress that enough. 

Gee the giants certainly copped the worst of the injuries. I know port lost a few but it looks like Shaw's out for the season, who knows how bad Kelly's concussion is and reid did his hammy. 

Wow the crows just crumbled this season. 

Poor Port though, they led for every minute of that game until after the siren. They did a melbourne and couldn't hold on for 44 seconds.

They may not have the option to rest players.

The MFCSS ain me will still be afraid of not making finals even if it’s impossible not to make it... ?

 

Is it bye-bye Tex for this season?   

He must get a few weeks for that half-sling/half-driving tackle on Kelly.

Commentators were quick to play it down (as they do with better known player) arguing that Tex couldn't know the ball had fallen free.  Dangerfield got a week last year even tho he couldn't have known the ball had fallen free.  His tackle was far less malicious than Tex's.

Likes being the tough guy but nothing tough about that tackle.

Ryan nyhuis from Freo got three weeks for a similar tackle on Robbie gray I think.

i remember at the time the commentary was similar ‘didn’t know the ball had jarred free’.

didnt help him. Will be an interesting case for the afl of ‘first year rookie of an irrelevant club vs name player’ 

will get 2 weeks I reckon

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • 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?
