If port flogs bombers and get GWSd we can miss finals. Am I wrong ?

Why the [censored] would you even be thinking about that?

There needs to be a 580 point or so turnaround for us to miss out.  Impossible.  We're playing finals.

    What a mammoth effort in the last.  When they got in front we hunkered down and got the job done.

    I am so proud of the players, the club and everyone involved.

    Enjoy it everyone, we have earned it!

    And I still firmly believe that we are a big, big chance to cause some havoc in September!!

    Wise thank you for all your positivity through all the close losses you always believed it was refreshing to read your posts. Ditto to Pro Dee. We're finally there.

    I tipped Dees by 17 points on page 13 of the Match Preview and Team Selection Thread - never in doubt!

    We've either beaten or come close to beating the majority of teams in the top 8.  Should provide a lot of confidence in the finals.  What a difference a win makes.

    Yeah, as good as!

    "Did we win" ?!

    Does anyone have any predictions as to who we might face in the finals if we win/loose?

    If we win, we’ll finish 5th and play Geelong (unless they somehow lose to GC and Port replaces them, or Fremantle beat Collingwood and we finish 4th and play Richmond). 

    If we lose, we’ll play the loser of Syd-Haw (if we stay above Geelong on percentage) or GWS (if Geelong pass us on percentage). Unless Fremantle beats Collingwood.

    Yes. Another one that could have really made a difference against the Swans. Was missed.

    Let's hope we can get Viney (at least) back in for the finals.

    Forgot about Viney! Keep assuming he’s gone for the year, good pickup. And how much have we missed Hibberd too! Cracking game of footy, we’ll umpired and I wish they’d stop coughing up big leads though, I’ll never get to see a flag as I think I’m on the verge of a heartattack this year and nearly a mental breakdown ?

    How good was Maximus today. Best tap ruck game I can remember. Not to mention below his feet and his vision......A true leaders game.

    "Season comes down to this quarter. I’m going to be optimistic for a change. Leave no doubt"

    As i said in the game-day thread, leave no doubt. Enjoy it tonight, but back it up next week and we go in with some momentum and confidence we can do some damage.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
