    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!

    Nope....0.3%

    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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
