As travelling from inter state wondering most likely scenario for our 1st final. 

Looks most likely Sydney but could be the g. Any thoughts. Was thinking of booking Sydney then easy to connect through

    If it's Sydney it'll be at the Showgrounds.

    Holds about 30k at most.

    Bulldogs played  a final there in 2016. Lots of complaints about not enough tickets for Bulldogs fans in an effort to get it moved to either SCG or ANZ stadium but as I recall everyone from the Bulldogs who wanted to go got a ticket in the end.

    Mind you there may be more Orange People these days ;)

    We are a good chance to beat GWS and that will secure a home final for sure.

    if we lose most likely play GWS, not sure if it would be spotless?

    If it's in Sydney it's at the SCG...  against Sydney. 

     

    We can only play GWS again if we have a draw this week

    if we lose, GWS go 5th.  Geelong win by a decent margin, they catch our %.

    therefore we finish 8th and play GWS.  if Geelong dont hammer Suns, we play away to Shydney

    This is only if our + gold coast's losing margin is less than ~50, very unlikely you would think given geelong and gc's form lines

    If we lose to GWS we will likely play them in the first final.

    By finals, GWS should have Toby Greene, Delidio, de Boer, Corr, Taylor back.

    Davis, Griffen and Reid will also have had the bye to freshen up so they will be much harder to beat the second time round.

    Big game this Sunday!!

    If we do play in Sydney week 1, I suggest jumping in early to get flights. 

    All the frequent flyers (me included), will be on the Qantas website trying to score freebies with points. 

    The real question is, fly in fly out, or fly in, stay the night so you can drink post match, then fly out? 

    Hopefully we win on Sunday and get to play at the G.

    Out of interest.... Have we ever played at the Sydney Showgrounds?

    I can recall playing GWS at Manuka but cannot say I can recall a Showgrounds game. Mind you GWS v MFC matches were never big on FTA.

    Watch this space - We'll beat GWS, then knock the Cats out of the finals in triumphant fashion.

    Third time lucky sort of a deal.

    ...and it will be so sweet.

    Yep. I really hope we play the cats.

    After the last two losses the boys will be confident they'll roll them this time.

    Win this weekend is important to set it up

    If the Dockers beat the Pies next weekend (and we overcome GWS), then we will be playing the Tigers at the MCG on the First Week of the Finals!

    Certainly hope that we get this double chance (as I will be overseas on the first weekend of the finals)!

    I honestly don't care who we play or where we play (although being there in person is a preference) We are equipped to play well against any team,  even Richmond.  We'll need to bring our best game but we've been trained and coached to do that. 

    It's like we started off with a triple-chance - Swans then Eagles then GWS ... we blew the first opportunity then made amends with the 2nd go at it.  We've now got chance no.3 to secure a home final first up or if we're really lucky,  2 more chances if we somehow snag 4th spot.

    But taking 2 wins in the last 2 rounds into the finals series would be great for the group's confidence.  And then whoever we play we can beat.  Richmond are ahead of the rest but the rest are all very similar in terms of talent.

    I am totally with you Macca; in past finals tilts I have always been hoping to face certain teams but this year, maybe because the comp is so even or maybe because I think our team is strong I am happy to face anyone, anywhere!  If we lose, so be it but if we win....Toot Toot!

    No doubt. They didn't deserve to win either of those games, and there's no way we'll gift them another.

    We'll beat them when it counts!

    Yeah, I'm so pumped. I think the somewhat removal of pressure will allow the boys to play their natural style and send a message coming into the finals. I'll be there, can't wait to see it in person!

    Man, I'd love for this to happen - but I've the misfortune of watching a few Dockers games this years, and the Pies need to win to keep their top4 possie, so I just can't see it happening.

    But don't get me wrong, if it does - a clash against the Tigers and a double chance would be AMAZING.

    We have a great record against the Tigers, and we started strong against them earlier in the year (bit couldn't capitalise) when we didn't quite have our stuff together.

    If we lose and Cats win a 61 point total would see them above us and us playing GWS again.

    We need to win this week and score a home final against the Cats.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
