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.

perhaps more likely is the dogs to lose to Freo in the last round - if we win our 2 last games we'll get in 8th assuming no big jumps in %

    This is where I am at too, I think.

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

    And I'm the big [censored] that just bought 3 tickets to Saturdays game now.... Completely contradicting my post about not watching this team while goody is in charge...

    How Leon Cameron got a 2 year extension I'll never know.

    He is driving the Ferrari like its a '96 Hyundai hatchback. Aside from last year, they have been poor given they have the most talent in the comp

    I agree DubDee, I've always thought he has massively underperformed for the list he had.

    Gws are gone. So where is their media pile on about softness , everything on the line failure etc. 

    Won't happen. 

    Dees knock them off next week will be part redemption for me.

    He is a crap coach always has been.  A monkey could have taken that team to the top 4.   Not winning a flag is a huge fail.

    Dogs still on the Box seat with 2 easy games to play.

    Freo are no easy beats.  They are almost unbeatable in Cairns  ?

    I just had a full swing of mood. The optimism is back, at least until Saturday. We probably win on Saturday and then put in a stinker against the Dons, but there’s still a chance. Thanks Croweaters

    Easy is how you would have described gws vs crows 2 hours ago.

     Our big hope is freo knocking off dogs. They have A graders and an impressive young coach in Longmuir

    I also wouldn't dismiss the Hawks either... they are due for a win. Had a shocking loss to Adelaide, but nearly beat Saints, Essendon, and Port. Their last win was in Round 9 against Carlton. Could be another upset looming!

    Supporting this club requires a total lack of logic.

    Go Dees.......somehow

    I am reading a lot of delusional nonsense on this thread. We do not deserve to play finals and nor are we a chance. Don't rely on others to do the dirty washing.

    Sydney are a young developing team.  I trust them.  They've lost plenty of games, but they're honest.  You know what you're going to get (virtually) every week.

    I respect them and their coach.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
