I prefer the Pies to the Tigers. I think we have a good chance of beating Collingwood but we need to play well against WC. The bye might hurt the Eagles.

    Collingwood can win the flag, there’s no point pretending they can’t.

    Don’t know why posters are concerned about Collingwood. We still have a game to play tomorrow. 

    We are concerned because no matter who wins tomorrow, a Pies premiership is highly likely. And you don’t live in Melbourne so you don’t understand how awful that is!!!!

    Hoping for a Collingwood win as a Melbourne v Collingwood Grand Final would be so right on so many grounds.

    Of course Richmond supporters would say we avoided them but there's always next year.

    Started this thread with the post above.

    Let's hope the sentiment comes true.

    Sadly this is a distinct possibility. If they play like this next week, very few teams will be able to match it. I'm not sure we've played as impressively for a sustained period like Collingwood have tonight.

    Pies were hot in the contest and had a better midfield.

    Yeh I understand that and the hype around Cox is gross but they played well. Must be an amazing feeling.

    Who would have thought we'd be saying Richmond lack a Plan B? That's why I reckon our game style holds up better than theirs, because Richmond don't win clearance. When their pressure was matched, they had nowhere to go.

    I think we're the only team that can beat Collingwood. I'm not sure we can get past these Eagles muppets though.

    Seeing Bucks’ smug face makes me sick. 

    I hate this team so much. Please please please let us win tomorrow, because honestly West Coast are no chance. 

    We are the competition’s last chance of saving the world a Pies victory. 

    Basically this. Collingwood will absolutely obliterate the Eagles on the G next week if we lose tomorrow. The only reason that team is anywhere near the top 8 is their ridiculously biased home ground advantage, just like Geelong only making finals every year because of Kardinia Park.

    Give me a bucket! We truly are the comp's last hope.

    Could we handle Cox? Frosty?

    In my experience most Cox tend to shrink in stature when it gets frosty, so that might be a good move.

    It will be very tough to beat West Coast over there in a final. Collingwood couldn't do it. If we do manage to do it we will trouble Collingwood - especially if they go in as favs and us underdogs. It would be the perfect storm for us. Just to sneak into the Grand Final and pinch it. The harder game is tomorrow. I have lived in WA and they are one eyed and it will take a massive effort to win tomorrow.

    Who the [censored] was playing on sidebottom... 41 disposals.... 35 uncontested that's insane

    This is a bad outcome no matter which way you look at it. 

    West Coast beat us and Pies win the flag. 

    We beat West Coast and we face the possibility of losing to Collingwood in a grand final. 

    It’s one big messy Cox fest.

    West Coast beat Collingwood at the G earlier this year.

    • 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.

    • 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?
