If I’ve learned anything from 20 years of footy tipping, is never trust Fremantle. Or as they’ve been affectionately dubbed by my friends and I “Failmantle”. 
Hope I’m wrong and Hogan has a blinder to help out his old mates. 
This is definitely not the way I want us to make finals.

    Heave ho Freo!

    Fyfe, Hogan, Brsayshaw, Cerra, Lobb , Tabrener, Mundy, Ryan , Henry, Serong....  too much talent for the fragile Bulldogs.

    Dockers by 24

    Dees to play FINALS

    Warm day here in Cairns, with some wind.  Freo, they have a good record on this ground.

    I would have a touch of confidence if Walters was playing as he can win games off his own boot however cant see it without him.   I think the dogs have a mental steel that we lack but very happy to be proven wrong.

    C'mon lads we know how this is scripted..

    I all honesty I will be shocked if Freo knock off doggies. Anything is possible, but Beveridge has that ability to get the boys up for big occasions. 

    They ain't dropping this one unfortunately.

    I know Freo  are big in Westralia but I always considered them a nonentity  club !

    Now we find ourselves hanging on their coat tails.

    Anyway they are in @Ethan Tremblayterritory so I'll wait on his deeply considered insights and prognostications.

    Will know within the first 10 minutes we aren’t playing finals. 

    But stranger things have happened, so go Doctors!

    Dogs have the required mental fortitude and gumption built in to their make up. 
     

    We’ll all be put out of our misery today.

    It'll either be.

    A close one and go either way. (Dogs if that's the case)
    OR
    The dogs will absolutely smash them by 40+

    Walters out tips it even further in the dogs favour. They are a good side this year imo, and I can’t see them dropping this the way they are playing. But fingers crossed the Dockers at least put them under some pressure and make them earn it.

    Travelled all the way to Melbourne for this game because we could not lose. Sat behind the goal in shock was the longest drive home. 

    Maybe Hogan can be the Modra of 2020. 

    Maybe

    Poor suckers hanging their hats on a Freo upset.

    Dont do it to yourselves.

    There would be many more clubs you'd want in this position other than the notoriously meek mannered Freo. I don't have the highest hope for it and that's perfectly fine, don't think it's possible to be accused of being a negative nancy about a team that isn't even mine but I'm sure some coconut will find a way!

    4 times out of 5 the Dogs win this. But godspeed Freo.

    Geez we sucked that year.

    Yet we made the prelim and grand final either side of it.    Melbourne....

    Dogs have a 5-0 record at Cazaly (all against the Suns though)

    Freo are a much improved side and play a keeping-offs game style that may worry the dogs.

    Freo need to tag the Bont, nullify Daniel and JJ and they’re a good chance.

    I don't see the dogs letting this one slip unfortunately. If they do make it I'll probably cheer them on as my adopted team during the finals.

    Is this MFC SS?

    I dreamed that Footscray made a big recovery in Q4 from 30 points down, and scored a brilliant , after the siren,  angle goal from a dubious  deliberate o.o.b. free to win by a point.

    #freekickbulldogs will be in full effect if Freo get any kind of lead.

    • 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.

      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?

      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.
