    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
