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.

I remember the pain of 1976. The ye ars under Northey and Daniher. Never thaught I would be so emotional after a win.

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.

Kind of feels like 1987 right now.

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.

Congratulations to all that stayed strong over the 12 years. We are back baby. Lets win next week, so that at worse we get a hame elimination final. CARN THE DEMONS .

can't believe it, just can't believe, this is amazing, this is the best day ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

years of bullying about being a Melbourne fan but i don't care, it is all worth it. Up the mighty dees!!!!!!!!!

won't sleep a wink tonight, but if i do, i will be dreaming of melky and his stellar effort. 

raise hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

[Smokey 4,389]

Never in doubt. New leaders have emerged before our very eyes. 

[chookrat 4,268]

YES!! Massive win by the boys today and the Weed, played well and what a strapping lad. Bring on next week! 

Looking forward to recieving finals tickets.

The omen I thought of all week was it Finals ended in Perth against Freo in 06 and we clinched our next finals appearance in Perth

[D4Life 2,579]

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.
