For those still playing at home, a GWS loss is a big thing for any sliver of a finals chance we still have.

If we beat them next week we'll be near-guaranteed to finish above them (subject to percentage).

If they then beat St Kilda in the final round, and St Kilda lose to West Coast, all three of us (i.e. St Kilda, GWS and us) will finish on 9 wins.

If our percentage catches St Kilda's and stays in front of GWS', we then play finals (doesn't matter what Collingwood and the Dogs do from there).

Yes that's all far-fetched. About as far-fetched as GWS losing to Adelaide.

    Geez wouldn’t it be a laugh if we stumble through to finals and Goodwin keeps his job? This is a bigger result than last night. There are a lot of similarities between us and GWS.

    [censored] crows.... Why make the season interesting again. We don't deserve to be in with a chance. Yet here we are.

    2017 the crows stuffed our finals chances losing to WC. This year they come to our aid.

    Unfortunately that is the worst thing that could happen to this club, who wants another two years of ups and downs. Well done to Crows, playing with spirit and not much skill lately, second win, well done.

    This is where I am at too, I think.

    Now I am just going to get hopes built up again, for no logical reason

    Not that an also rans finalist would be much of an achievement, but would represent a better result than last season in the circumstances.

    I've always felt our season was gone from about round 5 or 6 when we had nowhere near the runs or form on the board for a top 4 finish.

    Now @titan_uranus I may be a cynical man, and I may believe in 'scripted' finishes, but if these things happen and its a' extravagahhhhhnnnnnnza for the final round... well - I'd almost believe that the AFL have ordered results to fall a particular way...

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
