Why are people freaking out? Port losing means that they drop out of the 8. If we win a game, we are in.

If we don't, we need port to lose and North to lose one. Cats were always going to finish 1 game clear of us with their draw. Their percentage means nothing.

Port look a broken team, could actually see the druggies knock them off next week. Hopefully we don’t have to rely on that result.

If we get 13 Geelong is the only team who can pass us, and given Port are going to lose to Collingwood no one else can.

With Port's loss, if we get to 13 we cannot miss the finals.

And if Port lose next week and Adelaide beat NM this week, we're locked into the top 8.

We're still precarious even if we get to 13 wins until a few more results go our way. It goes without saying that if we lose both games it would take a perfect combination of other results to go our way to make it on 12 wins. Frankly I'd rather miss finals than qualify without beating a single top 9 team.

How? Port won't catch our percentage, nor will North. If we win 13, we are 100% guaranteed in.

Pies beating up port in the last. Hate to say they look ominous. Reminding me of dees game v pies - hard to tackle, weight of numbers and closed down all space defensively.

Just makes me think we're a way off.

Hate the pies.

Don't listen to the peanuts in the Herald Sun who make nuff nuff jokes at our expense to appeal to their little Aussie battler audiences. Their idea of punching upwards is making jokes at a supposedly 'elitist' football team while propping up elite interests via their stable of dancing bear commentators.

While I want us to go into September with a guaranteed finals spot, we aren't out of this thing by any stretch of the imagination even if we lose.

Yes, we all saw what happened last year when we had to rely on other results to go our way to qualify. Spoiler alert: it will be our undoing if we rely on such uncontrollable outcomes yet again. 

The team have their fate entirely in their own hands now. Win ONE game, they play finals. Lose both, we miss. Bloody simple equation. We had 2 bonus lives in Sydney and West Coast. We've already blown the first. Let's hope we don't blow the second. Nobody wants it to come down to next Sunday because we all know how this team folds under any ounce of pressure.

Sorry, you're right. Was confusing myself about qualifying on 12 wins. Theoretically we make it on 12 wins with just two more results:

Adelaide Def North

Essendon Def Port

If North win both their matches and we lose both, we'll miss. We're very bloody precarious until we get to 13.

Yep, we are relying on potentially two more results if we don't win a game. If Adelaide win, all eyes on Friday night. I dont trust St Kilda to knock off Norf

Could have 4 teams applying for priority picks at this rate. 

Isn't it funny how good teams come out and dismantle [censored] teams with nothing to play for at the end of the year, yet three years in a row we've blown the exact same games? Carlton in 16, Norf and Collingwood in 17, etc. 

It's so [censored] maddening how all the stars align for the teams who play finals every year, but we continue to battle in the depths of misery?

Looking at today's results, if North loose is will be very hard for us to drop out of the 8.  Port/North would have to win huge next week and loose by heaps.  Unlikely we'll be blown away in either game.

 

You think Lyon will be gone in two weeks.

How does a team kick 15 goals in a row? Geez Freo are bad.

Make that 22.

Port.... always a front runner and recruited more of them last off season. At least we crack in and win the contested ball

So if those 2 results happen can Geelong still make it??

At what stage does Ross (handed and great list at StKilda but missed a flag x 3, then handed a great list at Fremantle but missed a flag again) Lyon come under scrutiny..?

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
