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.

    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!

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
