    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?

    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

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?
