Is anyone else petrified of the prospect of  playing Geelong in a final.

This mob has bullied us into submission since 2007 and absolutely embarrassed us as a professional sporting organisation, like no other opposing club has.

And the 3 most recent matches we’ve played against them, we’ve given it our absolute best shot and still come short. Hasn’t helped that Geelong have kicked 50.22 in stupidly lucky accuracy.

And finally....Dangerfield.

I think we’re a better chance leaving the G and taking on GWS.

 

 

Hell no. 

I think Geelong is the weakest side in the top 8. They wouldn’t have even made finals if their last two matches weren’t against 2 of the 3 worst teams in the comp at their home ground. 

We should have beaten them twice this season. A bit more experience and Gawn kicking straight and we win both. 

I look forward to the redemption of beating them in finals. I loath them and I want to play them more than anyone else. 

Hawthorn and Richmond scare the crap out of me. Geelong don’t.

    Have we?

    The record books state we’ve beaten them once in 12 years.

    To be fair we haven’t beaten many teams in the last 12 years and they did win 3 flags in that time.

    Yes Jaded but their teams that won G.F's are not playing in two weeks time. Cannot wait to play them in the finals as I reckon we have them and they know it. Several cat fans at our golf club are quite worried coming up against us. BRING IT ON.

    Well we mustn't forget what the record books say! Wink

    What's up with those Lions uniforms?

    The further they stray from traditional Fitzroy, the more bollocks they look.

    Collingwood finishing 2nd on the ladder with the double chance and an travel-free path to the Grand Final is horrible thought.

    I like the Lions, but today I hope West Coast beat them and hold on to 2nd spot.

    If the Methcoast drop to 3rd or 4th do they still get a home final if we play them. 

    I believe they’ve secured 2nd.

    Ah yes thanks. The app I was using to look at the ladder was a ‘live ladder’ which I didn’t realise.

    Looks like the Pies are heading back to Optus Stadium in a fortnight.

    The Exers kicked 2 more goals than Carlton for the year. Think that might be 4 years in a row?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
