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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
