I will take a Carlton win any day. If we can not protect our place in the eight from here we just not deserve to be in it. Also helps to jump to 6th or 7th. 

Carn the Blue-baggers...

How good was Fevola, loved seeing him start that 1QT brawl... Gold

    Blues have choked the 2nd Half very badly. 
    it is an open game and they have kicked 7 goals

    Clear free kick to Betts that would have put the Blues in front and then 3 quick goals to the Pies and game over.

    Both teams were substandard

    Casboult particularly disappointing

    Does a Collingwood win help or hurt us, i know we should take our destiny into our own hands but in terms of the ladder, is this good for us?

    Was lost for words, such a joke.

    Hurts us, basically guarantees pies a spot in the 8 if they win 1 more. One less spot up for grabs by those fighting to get in

    Just to add Expect in 2 weeks, dees gws and saints will all be on 9 wins with only % separating us. With one sitting 9th

    Carlton are so soft. 4 points in a second half against their fierce rivals. Now they're out of finals contention the AFL can move them out of the RACV Noosa Resort and into the local caravan park to finish the season.

    So it's a blunder now?  Talk about manufacturing a story from sweet FA.

    Hopefully Carlton can knock over GWS next week but I doubt it.

    Wow blues goalless in the second half against their bitter rivals. They’re done, now watch the Carltank come out.

    If it's not West Coast in Perth it is Richmond or Geelong or less likely Port or Brisbane at their home grounds.

    Finishing 8th would be a nightmare whichever way you look at it.

    ..... but better than finishing 9th, which gives zero chance of advancing at all ?

    Must say I like the jaguar symbol on the back of our jumper. Most of the car logos are rather nondescript.

    Took me years to work out who SEW were on the back of the hawks jumper.

    Yeah, the truth doesn't sound so sensationalist...

    IMO - it helps in that in now knocks Blues out of finals race, and Collingwood are still catchable by Dees . They were less than impressive today and they have a tough draw, one less game and I would rather meet them if we make finals than Blues.

    One less contender. I think the Saints could also well be worried with their run home.

    Dees have to win nevertheless.

    Dees will be well into the 8 in your scenario, as if all teams win the next two matches then % rankings should probably staty the same with GWS in 9th spot. A 10% gap can't be made up in low scoring and shorter games .  Apart from us, no 60 point blowouts to worry about.

    Saints may well win but only a 2% gap between them and Dees which could be made up and put the saints lowre than us.

    In additon, as a possible early Christmas bonus,  if the Lions beat the Pies next week, as I suspect, then Pies next have a bye and could drop out of thge 8 altogether by end of next two rounds.

    Yes but Blues would have been on our tail as well.

    Best result was a Blues win. This outcome 2nd best.

    • 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?
