    If the Hawks and Swans draw and we beat GWS we would host GWS in the first final.

    I would prefer this to playing Geelong.

    I'd prefer Geelong. Two of the softest matches in history leading into a finals series,  they'll be ripe for the picking. 

    I reckon we'll be more motivated to beat them than any team in the 8.

    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.

    The teams that finish 5th and 8th play each other in round one.  Then the winner keeps going.  So apart from the location of the Elimination Final, the finals draw will be the same for both teams.

    Given we can only finish 5th or 8th (unless Sydney and Hawks draw, and then we'll finish 6th), the only difference is the location of our first final. 

     

    Our potential travel is influenced more by who wins Syd v Haw tonight,  and who wins WCE v Haw/Coll in week 1.

    Hawks are home now. That sucks.

    Was hoping for the worst situation for Collingwood. Which is probably against Richmond.

    The thought of Hawthorn winning another flag is putried!

    Richmond vs Hawthorn in a final ... first time ever? 

    That's unless West Coast lose by 3+ goals and drop to 4th.

    My understanding is that, with that result, we win tomorrow, we play Week 1 and 2 at the G... that’s a good result.

    No.

    We lose and GWS go ahead of Sydney on points. A draw and GWS will rise to 5th on %.

    So it's simple. GWS in Sydney or Geelong at the MCG depending on tomorrow.

    Week 1:
    Geelong @ mcg (if we win tomorrow) or GWS @ spotless (if we lose)

     

    Week 2
    Rich or Haw @ mcg

     

    Week 3
    WCE or Coll

     

     

    There are no other permutations.

    • 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.
