Nah because if we lost to collingbog in the Gf, I could never live that down.

    I was thinking that if we beat the Eagles, then either the QB game or the Anzac Eve game is the GF replay next year ... should be bigger than ever!

    I think Richmond will win, and purely from a selfish perspective, that's the way I'd prefer it to go.  My rationale:

    • I 'dees-pies' Collingwood so much that the thought of them playing off in a Grand Final makes me want to puke;  and
    • if we happened to play Collingwood in the Grand Final, Grundy has the capacity to reduce the influence of our major trump card in big Max, making a win more difficult for us.

    It hurts me to say it, but I want a Richmond win tomorrow night.  Maybe by a big margin, so they drink a tub full of their own bathwater before facing a rampant Dees outfit. 

    Me too.

    Richmond have not faced anything like us this season (or last season), playing the way we are playing now.

    We've seen all the other teams trying various tactics to beat them, whereas we would be right up in their face, attacking their strength and playing them at their own game. Fire vs Fire stuff. I'd be fascinating to see who comes out on top.

    I also salivate at the prospect of Viney/Harmes vs Martin.

    First however, West Coast...

    I would be very surprised if Collingwood were to win against Richmond on their showing against GWS. The intensity of their game last week was a few notches below that of the night before and they will need to lift to match it with Richmond.

    Agree. I was at the Pies/GWS game last week and IMHO I thought we would have definitely beaten the Pies had we been playing them.

    Got this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach that the filth might cause a massive upset here... 

    I’d love to play the pies in a grand final. How good would it be watching Eddie sob as chunk and goody lift the cup 

  • Quote

    Think the Richmond forwards will just be a bit much for the Pies backline in the end. I do think it will be a tough contest though.

    Just don’t think Pies are capable of scoring enough to challenge the Tigers

    Tigers are a high scoring club, as are we

    Should be a cracking game

    They seemed to score quite freely against us on Queens Birthday...

    going to be a rugby scrum of a game.  if pies keep the intensity up all game, 60 points could win it.

    Really looking forward to tonights game. 

    I hope they hit each other real hard and force this game into a triple OT.

    Frost didn't play that day. Any game Melbourne played at the G this year without frost  is irrelevant.

    No doubt that Mason Cox holds the key in the sense that the Pies just seem to lack goal kickers.

    Was going to run a thread as to who was the better VFA pick up between Brody Mihocek and Bayley Fritsch but the air went out of that balloon.

    The MCG should be renamed Boganville for tonight.

    HEY! I'll be there bringing at least a modicum of taste to the MCC (and relieving a Filth or Tuggers fan of a seat).

    Tomorrow, Perth. Sunday, VFL...

    To be honest if we win tmrw I don't care who we play in a grand final. I just hate the filth so I hope the tigers bog all over em.

    Can't bear the thought of C'wood in the GF. No, they must not get there. Even for the chance of beating them.

     

    C'wood and Tiges to belt the living sh*t out of each other and the least worst team to limp into a GF thrashing at the hands of the MIGHTY DEMONS

  • Quote

    All this revolves around the big “if” at 3.20 tomorrow. If the dream continues tomorrow, I simply don’t care who we play - payback to either - ANZAC Eve or Queens B’Day - take your pick!

    I’m going for the Pies. I think we would have a better chance of knocking them off next week than the Tigers should we progress beyond tomorrow.

    I also have an intense dislike for Rance and his sooky behaviour.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
