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. 

 

So i take it ...win and we play Geelong at the G, lose and we play Sydney SCG.

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.

Nup, GWS at spotless if we lose.

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.

Lose and we play GWS in Sydney

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. 

 

It doesn’t end there. West Coast lose tomorrow and the filth get a home final

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
