The same Freo that last by 23 goals today?? Ain't happening! 

Yeah sorry @MSFebey but the likelihood of Fremantle beating Collingwood is about as likely as peace in the middle east.

    Ugh just saw the ladder. Cant believe the pies are third. If its a tigers pie gf i may leave the country

    And they've still only beaten one team in the top 8. Let's not forget they finished bottom 6 last year thus got handed a gift-wrapped fixture for 2018.

    Funny how the media have completely ignored this fact. Doesn't fit Eddie's narrative I guess.

    Yeah I’m considering going down the coast to a secluded location away from all media if that is the GF.

    Actually to be fair, they did finally mention it today because by defeating Port they knocked them out of the 8. I actually wonder if its ever been done before? A team finishing in the 8 without actually beating anybody in it.......that could be us!

    Why so much negativity in this thread ?  

    Tomorrow we beat the Eagles and book our first finals berth since 2006.  It feels like Xmas Eve!  ?

    Geez, I dunno, maybe the last TWELVE YEARS of missing finals and blowing every opportunity to make them? Might have something to do with it.

    We had every chance to book our place in finals last week and, yet again, we blew it. Why would anything be different tomorrow? We'll probably blow it again and everything will come down to our final match next week... and we all know how that'll end.

    If we beat the Eagles, we play GWS the next week, for a home final against them. Lose and it could be against Hawks at the G or Swans at the SCG.

    We have to win. Cannot rely on Port losing to the bombers. Port should win meaning we need a win v Giants or Eagles

    Exactly. We have to win, it's as simple as that. We've blown our first chance of 3, we have 2 chances left. We cannot blow both.

    I think the loser of Hawthorn/Sydney takes 6th place, we would get 5th, GWS 7th? 

    Edit: Beat WCE / Lose to GWS and we are 8th with a final against them

    Edit 2: Lose to WCE and Beat GWS and our % decides whether we're 7th or 8th with a final v Syd/Haw

    If we make finals. Most likely scenario is we play either Hawthorn or Geelong at the G. Or GWS away!

    It feels a bit like the entire season has built around that narrative, doesn't it? All the way from round 1 through to finals. Two agonising losses to the Dees in the H&A season and they get their chance of revenge in the finals. Third time lucky?

    Of course, I won't count my chickens before they hatch. We're still just as likely to miss finals as we are to make them.

    The only team I want is Port at the G. I've shifted my expectations from top 4 to Gold Coast creating the biggest upset in history. Imagine how much [censored] would hit the fan! ?

    Oh I ain’t counting a thing! Finals are a massive “if” as far as I’m concerned.

    2 cards left in the deck, one of them needs to be an ace.

    Absolutely, we would smash Port if we played them in the finals. Would be a dream come true.

    Just can't see Geelong dropping that game though; they've been handed the most ludicrously soft fixture to end the year.

    We can dream though!

    It’s like that Xmas Eve when I was a kid and I was sure I was going to get a Mongoose BMX with pegs. Very exciting. Come Xmas Day I got some lime green BMX from Kmart I had to assemble myself. I put it together and ghosted it down Jells Road (Possibly the steepest hill in Melbourne?) 

    Worst.Xmas.Ever.

    Your folks have a bit to answer for letting you do that!

    • 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.
