Posted this on the Post-Match thread, but does anyone have any idea who we might be playing first up in the finals (depending on win/loose against GWS)?

    I know it’s a long shot. Freo was excellent this week and all 

    You'd think they'd want to show SOMETHING after this week on their home deck in the last game of the year.

    So happy the lads did this themselves and not rely on other results and thrilled to bits for all of us long suffering fans, GO THE MIGHTY DEMON'S, TAKE EM ALL TO HELL, and lets see if they can handle were we live.

    From what I can see:

    - if we lose against GWS we get the looser of Swans/Hawks. 

    - if we win against GWS, probably get Geelong.

    I’ve just had a big sobfest. I’m still shaking. I still am having trouble believing it. Demons IN THE FINALS. No matter what happens, I’m proud of them. No more butt of everyone’s jokes. I don’t like to see all those “I’m done with this team” people’s faces right now. Especially that idiot that claimed on Facebook that after the loss last year, he was now a full paid member of Essendon.

    It' will be Hawthorn/Sydney (loser of) if we lose vs GWS, or else Geelong.

    If pigs fly and Freo defeats Collingwood, a win will see us make 4th spot and play Richmond.

    A very happy day.  Not quite the emotion I felt in 1987 as a 17 year old at the Western Oval but I'm thrilled for all the true believers who have maintained the faith over a very long period.  I'd like to thank Paul Roos, Bernie Vince and Daniel Cross who made the decision to be a part of the rebuild of this club 5 years ago.  The foundations those guys built are the bedrock of what is about to unfold.

    Count not your chickens just yet - Port Adelaide could beat Essendon by 250 points and edge us out.

    Any other time I'd be happy to see that. But I'm in a good mood so I'll cut EFC a break.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • 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?
