Would love to see Freo knock over the pies for obvious reasons. I just don't want the pies getting a double chance

Sydney v Hawks will be interesting

But i really think the game that will be the highest viewing game and the most popular is nth v saints tucked away at 4:40. Not

What I would find hilarious but it wont happen is GC best geelong, they miss out on the finals and port slide in. Actually assuming Port beat the scum tomorrow night, which I hope they do they will be in the 8 until geelong play.

    The only upside of the filth getting the double chance is the possibility of them going out in straight sets ...

    I hate the filth ....

    my preference would be to seek revenge on the cats in 2 weeks, to say we owe them is an understatement.

    I wouldn’t be discounting the Dockers. They have an unpredictably dual nature in that they are the competition’s Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde: usually very good on their home deck but they go shockingly when they have to travel away.  

    Barring the local derby games, Freo are 7-3 on their home ground this year. Their scalps include both Adelaide teams and earlier this year they nearly knocked over the Eagles at the venue.     

    I’m backing them in to upset the Pies.

    Can't really see any upsets this weekend. Maybe the saints over North. Us and gws about the hardest to pick.

    Just as there is a lot at stake in ladder position for the top 8 there will also be jockeying for position outside the 8 for Draft position.  eg 3 teams are on 44 pts so they can shift 3 spots in the draft.   Ditto a few spots for teams further down.

    I doubt the likes of Freo will try too hard to beat the Pies, or North try too hard to beat the Saints.  Adelaide may even let Carlton win to lock in draft pick 7 - critical for Adelaide in a draft top heavy with SA talent.  

    A very interesting round...

    Who do we all think will take out the Coleman?
    Riewoldt and Brown in the box seat but Hawkins playing against the Suns could have a field day.
    By the time Sunday rolls around Ben Brown will know exactly how many he needs and I reckon the North boys will try and feed him all day. Depends which Saints turn up as to how many he kicks.

    60   Jack Riewoldt  (Vs Dogs – Sat avo)
    58   Ben Brown  (Vs Saints – Sun avo)
    57   Lance Franklin  (Vs Hawks – Sat night)  *potentially not playing based on recent commentary
    56   Tom Hawkins  (Vs Suns – Sat avo)
    52   Luke Breust  (Vs Swans – Sat night)
    - - - - - - - - - - - - 
    47  Jesse Hogan  (Not playing)
    46  Jack Gunston  (Vs Swans – Sat night)
    45  Tom McDonald  (Vs GWS – Sun avo)

    Well done to Jesse and Tom who will likely both finish within the top 10.

    I so want Geeeeelong to win so we can have the pleasure of thumping them out of the finals. Our two loses to them earlier MUST burn deep within our boys and staff. Just want to see their smug faces in serious pain. Their arrogance really upsets me.

    Dead rubber tonight.

    I don't wish injury on any player but I would like to see the 10 best players from Port and Essendon all do their ACL and miss all of 2019.

    We have never had 20 ACL tears in the same game so maybe tonights the night.

    Port is an absolute rabble. I guess Jack Watts was the problem all along…?

    Good question, they were 11-4 and will miss.

    This is hilarious what's happened in the Port v Ess match!

    Just turned the match on and after three minutes turned it off. In that time Brooooose climaxed three times over the druggies. RETIRE now you nuff nuff. He just insult's everyone's intelligence.

    You would have to say now that Port won’t win by 150 points tonight and therefore, we are officially in the final 8.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
