Assuming we finish third and Geelong finish second, would that mean a final at Kardinia Park or still at the MCG?

85-90000 people and the money it brings is the answer.

Could potentially play cats 2 weeks in a row 

And again in the Granny. Potentially 3 times in the space of a month

Would love to just tease them slowly over 3 games and smash them when they thought they were a chance


I, for one, I’m going against all history and saying that I am really looking forward to the last week of the season. I truly believe we will beat them. May owes Hawkins and will close him right down, Cameron is iffy at best, and I think it will all be sweet indeed

How awesome is it that at this stage of the year we already KNOW we are playing finals!

Moreover, looking at potentially being in the top two!

Usually we don’t know until the end of round 23. And even then it would depend on Team A beating Team B and Team C losing to Team D but only if it’s a 10+ goal loss. AND there has to be a blood moon AND a partial eclipse of the sun AND Halley’s Comet has to be visible AND all the stars and planets must be aligned etc. for us to make the eight.

AFL site still showing tickets available for Richmond v Collingwood this afternoon.

Amazing drop in crowds even considering the form of the two clubs.

I’m sure the GWS players are enjoying the opportunity to play in front of a bigger crowd compared to a normal home game at Blacktown

I know it's kind of meaningless in the grand scheme of our season, but part of me would quite like to see the Swans knock the Bulldogs off today, so that I can bask in us sitting on top of the ladder again.

not meaningless at all.

home ground means we don't have to wear white shorts ?

And of course Brisbane can still end up 1 or 2 ?

PS and Hibbo will completely shut Rohan down

Its always a very tough ask at their fortress.

But we have done it before so heres hoping and lets hope we have a repeat of last time finals against them if we meet.

 

GWS currently looking to screw up their own season

Jim, yeah I forgot about that and I agree it's pretty important.  Two grand finals we have played in my lifetime I'm guessing we would have worn white shorts and lost both.

It was more being on top of the ladder in Rd 17 that is ultimately pretty meaningless that I was referring to.  But meh, I don't care.  After all the years of putrid, frustrating and/or mediocre seasons we have had, just being on top of the ladder at the end of the round gives me a few warm fuzzies inside, so I'll take that for now.

One of the several clubs contending for the MFC's previous monopoly on that feat.

Although the Suns are now choking it up. I was trying to decide whether the club should consider targeting  Izak Rankine. I think I've decided. He can't possibly be fair dinkum.

1 minute ago, whatwhat say what said:

It’s funny watching Hogan; he’s clearly such a natural footballer

I wonder if, like the wizard, he regrets his decision to leave the Dees

I did a bit at the time, but given we essentially  got Maysy in return and the way Hogans career subsequently went south, I almost couldn't be happier that Jessie went back to WA. 

The only better scenario that possibly could have eventuated was if we'd have picked up Steve May a season later as a FA and Jessie had pulled himself together a bit more and somehow gotten over his injuries better.

But in hindsight those list management changes we made at the end of 2018 will go down as a master class in football department decision making.

4.1 kicked to the left of screen, 12.13 to the right so far at Mars for those playing along.


Just switched on the current game and am surprised at how much of a crowd there is. The twelve Suns nuffies behind the goals are even making a bit of a racket. 

 

Thank you, Suns!

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
