    Failmantle. Good for nothing garbage club. 

    So, assuming Sydney win (Hawks looks shocking at the moment), who do we play if we lose and who do we play if we win? 

    My head hurts trying to figure all this [censored] out again.

    Hope we play them. Any chance 

    I don't think so. Pretty much any way it lands, they are on the other side of the draw to us I think.

    As it stands right now. Hawthorn if we lose, Geelong if we win.

    I’m sure there’s someone ready to condemn me to the depths of hell if I have that wrong though ?

    So it's all starting to narrow a little bit...

    Win = 5th = Geelong at the G

    Lose = 8th = GWS in Sydney

    Win that first final and we play the loser of 1st vs 4th, which is looking likely to be either Sydney in Sydney, or Collingwood at the G.

    Pretty sure that is wrong. If we lose, we will be 8th, and GWS will be 5th, so we will play them again, although in Sydney this time.

    By my calculations, we need to win tomorrow, otherwise it could be travel every week of the finals to go on any sort of run.

    Elimiation final vs GWS at Spotless

    Semi final vs Sydney at the SCG

    Prelim final vs West Coast at Optus

    That would be impossible.

    Or we need Hawthorn to win to keep Victorian sides in our side of the draw

    Yeah that’s it. I had every aspect covered except what winning would do to GWS!

    Cant remember a time where there were so many deciding matches. Then again haven’t been in the 8 for so long to be able to tell.

    Jeez Freo almost actually did it, realistically it was unlikely for them to get the job done as they've been such a rabble this year (how is Lyon still coaching there?). 

    I like the fact that there is certainty with our match tomorrow, we know where we stand and what our result will mean for without the jeopardy of dropping out. 

    Typical that Geelong get the softest end to the year and back things up with 100+ trouncings of rabble clubs.

    Only chance of us playing the hawks week one is if Syd hawks play a draw and we lose to gws. GWS make top 4 on percentage. 

    Might starting cheering for the draw!!

    I’m just looking forward to playing and discussing finals rather than draft picks which is what we are usually doing this time of the footy season. 

    May it last more than one week.

    Agree this time last week I was doubtful if we would even make finals. Having said that a Hawks win does help things.

    Traveling Wilburys would be proud of that lot. I dunno, we seem to go ok on the road....didnt Bulldogs do something similar?

    Want the Swans to win this, and the Hawks eliminated in week 1.

    Hawks will win. Clarkson is a bloody good coach. Yes has had some good players come in but built a team and culture we can now hopefully achieve.

    If this is a draw, my hours spent on the ladder predictor will be rendered useless.

    Swans love a low scoring contest. Still anyone’s game

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
