Great.

The heart ache continues for one more week. I assumed that last night we would’ve been put out our misery.

GWS got arrogant at selection and will probably have a far stronger side on Saturday.

    Carlton didn’t deserve to play finals in 2013 either. Just saying...

    What is happening? It’s like the twilight zone. Can’t see the bulldogs coughing up a spot though even if we roll GWS. And Carlton will reel Sydney in.

    So assuming we win our last two, basically we need one of the three to happen in order to make the eight:

    1) Pies lose both their last two games (GC and Port)

    2) Saints lose both their last two games (WCE and GWS)

    3) Dogs lose one of their last two games (Hawks and Freo)

    I actually think the most likely is the Dogs dropping one of their games. Hawks are due for a win I feel.

    Freo are a good chance to beat Bulldogs in Cairns on a dewy night.Great it's up there and not Metricon where they played the last 6/8,while we're Metricon,Alice Springs,Cairns,Cairns,Gabba,Metricon on mostly 4/5 day breaks!!!

    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 %

    Correct, if we win both of our last two games then any of the above three scenarios sees us make finals.

    The St Kilda scenario requires us to make up 7% on St Kilda. Given we'll be winning twice and they'll be losing twice from here, that is probably not that much of a stretch.

    The other two don't rely on percentage but obviously require upsets.

    The only relevant game to be played before we play GWS is St Kilda v West Coast on Thursday night. If St Kilda win that, we'll know we're down to only two of these options being available. But, in what I think is good news, we'll still have the Dogs and Collingwood games unplayed when it's our turn, so we won't know for sure. Means we can't get ahead of ourselves and hopefully helps us focus.

    Chances of us winning the last two? Not good I would think on past performance.

    If we win our last two, Carlton can only pass us by winning their last two and making up 9% on us.

    I wish I shared your optimism in winning the last two TU. I really do.

    Well that’s just excellent, Carlton win. Last time I looked swans were belting them. They’ll end up higher than us on the ladder. Good on you MFC

    Well done Lewis Taylor you fat moron. Missed dead in front from 30m out after milking a free.

    I'm not optimistic about us winning our last two at all. I'm barely optimistic about us winning even one of them.

    But, if we do win our last two, Carlton won't be passing us. 

    The pessimistic outlook would suggest this: we lose our last two, Carlton beats Adelaide, Fremantle beats North, and we end up 13th.

    That was Sydney's only score from the 3 minute mark of the third quarter onwards.

    Losing to them last week is an absolute disgrace.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
