Brisbane look switched on but it is early. They have to learn to kick straighter.

    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. 

    Exactly this, thank you. People are being delusional if they don't think 1st and 2nd are locked in at this point. [censored] top 4 aspirations; our season is still on a knife's edge until we get to 13 wins. That's my only consideration right now and I think people are getting way ahead of themselves worrying about top 2. Less teams in contention for the top 8 is a fantastic outcome when there's 11 still in the hunt with 2.5 rounds to go.

    Ok, I'm just going to forget all about wanting certainties and slots and start hoping for whatever the most EPIC results would be.

    Obviously that still means Melbourne beating Sydney, because it makes both our remaining games EPIC clashes in the top 4.

    Brisbane still should do football a favour and beat Collingwood, so the Magpies can cr4p their pants for a couple more weeks.

    And I think what this round really needs is a draw. Adelaide v Giants should do the trick. Keeps Adelaide mathematically in the race (as one of their wins was needed just to get over their gobshite percentage) and actually just close to nothing to help the Giants, since they already have a draw and their percentage is below every other team competing for top 4.

    And for a laugh, right at this moment the Lions are ahead of the Magpies, and the Crows-Giants are clearly set on a wild ride to a draw. :D

    In a mens team I mean.

    Some of us remember winning 7/8 in 2000 and moving all the way up to 3rd as Geelong and the Kangas fell below us and that amazing feeling of everything going right at the right time. That's why I always have my eyes firmly planted on a highest ladder position possible and am gunning for 3 wins. More so in this case, because we wouldn't have to rely on any other result once Port beat WCE. 2nd was ours with 3 wins. I don't work for MFC so getting ahead of myself has no repercussions.

    Seriously, how can people be so clueless.

    WC and Brisbane were irrelevant if WC lost today, a WC loss meant if we win our last three games we would have finished second. It really isn’t complicated!

     

    And you do realise that a team that finishes 2nd is a better chance than one from outside the top 4 (or even a team that finishes third) - can you grasp that or do you also need it explained to you?

    Your opponents in this matter point out that a team that finishes 9th has zero chance.

    What are the chances we win all 3? A lot lower than us dropping 1 or 2 of the next 3, that’s what. 

    So I’ll take the safe option of making the 8, than the wet dream of finishing 2nd. 

    You can’t win anything if you don’t make finals.

    I think that playing our best football, we can easily win all 3.

    Clueless? How about 'realists'? Hell of a lot more concerned about results going our way to ensure we make the top 8, rather than some farfetched wet dream of finishing top 2, which assumes such laughable outcomes as us winning all 3 final matches (after not beating a single team in the top 8 all season) and West Coast (2nd on the ladder) losing to Brisbane.

    The dream of top 2 was [censored] down the drain when we blew 3 winnable games by under a goal. Our focus should be on finals and that means results which hurt all the teams beneath us.

    Yeah, really far fetched beating an average Sydney, WCE missing 2 or 3 best players and GWS at home.

    Unbelievable how little it takes for so many to be satisfied....

    by you theory, we are no chance in the finals, as we can’t beat top 8 teams.

    Play with yourself at the prospect of making the 8 mate, I am only interested in one result

    • 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?

      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.
