So who do we prefer to play in week 1, and who has to win in the last round to make that happen?

    I'd like a home qualifying final

    I'd prefer if we avoided Collingwood altogether given the shellacking they doled out to us in round 5. As well as we are playing at the moment a beating like that leaves psychological scars.

    For us to finish 4th the filth will have to beat Adelaide and Freo will have to beat North. On top of that we will have to beat the lions. It will be difficult to see all those 3 results happen.

    I reckon a lot has changed since that match. I'd be more inclined to think Collingwood would be over confident.

    Playing the pies would be better than traveling interstate I'd think. The girls have played some great footy since we copped that belting.

    Assuming Melbourne win, we only need one of Adelaide or Fremantle to lose to finish top 4.

    Yes your right. Problem is I think they will both win.

    The pies will beat Adelaide. They’re a much better team. Plus they risk dropping out of the Top 2 if they lose so they can rest on their laurels. agree Freo will beat North

    I watched Bris beat North last week. The Lions have lots of talent on all lines, very impressive.  I will be pleasantly surprised if we win.  I hope Downie is available.

    The priority should be to stay in Melbourne throughout the finals if at all possible. Looking at the draw however it's hard to see us not have to go to Brisbane for a preliminary final.

    Adelaide beat Collingwood by 1-2 points in a low scoring game could work.

    We have a good first week of finals, it'll be at home as I understand. hopefully we get Freo, as they have been found out by the better teams this year.

    I think the crows might win and therfore will play Freo. Another return trip for them. If the filth win we will play North.

  • Quote

    So we play Freo in final next week. If we win that then we play the crows in the prelim. The filth lost by too much and finish 3rd. I hope daisy can be back in 2 weeks coz if we beat Freo adelaide have never beaten us when we have daisy playing.

    We're the form team and have nothing to fear from Freo.

    Daisy won’t play but Gay, Parry and Bannon to step up. Kate Hore, Eden Zanker and Lauren Pearce will be pivotal.

    Our perfect home record to remain intact.

    Dees by 15.

    Freo had a Carltonesque draw. They played Gold Coast, GWS and West Coast twice. They did sneak past the Blues by 4 points but have lost to Brisbane, North and us along the way. In fact the only top 6 side Freo have beaten were Adelaide when the Crows kicked 1.7 all the way back in Rnd 3.

    Of course anything can happen but after 2 losses on the trot Freo won’t  be brimming with confidence. With them having to travel on consecutive weeks the game will be there for us to win.

    Looking forward to heading to Casey on Saturday although i would prefer a later starting time. I'm confident of the win

    Fourth-placed Melbourne will take on fifth-placed Fremantle in a home Qualifying Final B at Casey Fields on Saturday, April 3 at 1:05pm AEDT.

    Need to get past freo first but I am happier to be in Adelaide's side of the draw than Brisbane's.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
