    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.

    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • 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.
