Who did the Pies beat to secure top 4?

Really, we need to give up on this subject. They will have beaten GWS, Melbourne, WCE and Richmond if they win the flag which is 4 of the top 5 (excluding themselves). That’s deserving form in anyone’s language. Our story would’ve been pretty much the same.

    But we beat West Coast in the West in the last few weeks of the season. And don’t give me that Kennedy Darling nonsense. We played like dogs in the Prelim. We had Viney back.

    Your kidding right? Nothing even remotely close to the reason i wrote about.

    Yeah we beat WC, they were under strength remember? Kennedy kicked 3 goals in a GF today did you see that SD? It was a good win but its completely different in a Prelim interstate in a hostile environment. We were spooked.

    Win your games (5 under 10 points)and play in a qualifying final at the G, we had to do it the hard way. You completely ignored this factor champion.

    outside the top 4.

    Get a clue bloke.

    They deserved it if they beat the Dees in a Prelim.

    Crap. Watch the game sweetie. We fell apart psychologically. Kennedy got the ball because Lewis passed it to him and our players were turning it over. We had almost the same crowd against us the last time we played and we didn’t have viney.  The delivery from the midfield was dreadful. Theirs was brilliant. It wasn’t about Kennedy and darling. It was about the midfield.

    I’m adding to the narrative, don’t assume I’m responding to your drivel.

    I really don’t get this constant conversation on the topic. Today proved they were deserved top 4 and worthy grand finalists, we failed in certain games so we didn’t deserve to finish in the top 4. 

    They played a good finals series and had a very good year, well done to them. (But still glad they didn’t win the premiership!)

    I watched alright, i know exactly what got taken away and nullified, our biggest strength.

    If you dont think 2 key forwards make a difference your clueless.

    Discussion more around the the season  draw/fixture ... I’m sorry but finishing top 4 should not be on the back of 14 wins against bottom 8 sides ... Comp needs to be playing each other once to remove gifting wins against poor sides twice vs other sides playing higher placed sides more times.

    Sadly, not like 2016 Doggies.

    As long as they can keep FIGJAM as their coach for another 5 to 10 years. IMO the saved his job for another 5 more years.

    Love it when he get so very sad after every loss.

    Yes the draw is rigged by the AFL, but its the gift that keeps on giving.

    Maybe next year their can qualify for the finals by playing in the VFL? As long as they get beaten by 1 point in the grand final it would all be worth it!

    Oh even better if the mighty Dees the ones who beat them in the grandy.

    Collingwood finished 13th in 2017, top of the bottom 6 and therefore got the "bottom 6" draw benefits.  It is imperfect but they had a very good year and deserved their good outcome.  I don't see their runner-up result as an anomaly given their season overall.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
