We play a beautiful brand of footy at Marvel and all our games this year have been over by 3 qtr time at the latest. Our record under Goodwin at Marvel is 10-3 or thereabouts. Having said all that I'm pretty sure we'll be playing Geelong if we hang onto 3rd or 4th. If we go 2-1, we'll likely finish 3rd - would require Port to beat the Dogs in the final round to pass us and push us down to 4th, or would require one of the Dogs and Geelong to go 1-2 for us to pass them and move up. You'd expect both the Dogs and Geelong to go 3-0 from here which means 2-1 lands us Geelong, unless they make up the 9.4% gap to the Dogs. 3-0 likely gets us Geelong too, as we'd pass them, likely finishing 2nd with them 3rd.

But if we lost to Geelong, Port and the Dogs it wouldn't matter? At the end of the day every team loses games. It happens. We did it against mostly crap teams plus the Dogs once. Dogs and Geelong lost to more top 8 sides than we have, they just happen to have won half a game more than us in the entire year, so are currently sitting above us on the ladder. If anyone told you pre season we would be pushing for a top 2 finish with 3 games to go in the season would you have taken it? I really don't see the point of crying over the losses. They are done. All that matters now is what we do next. We can go on to win the next 3, or lose the next 3, and only those game will determine what happens come finals. 3 1 Quote

Yep, we finished ninth on the ladder last year. It’s a vast improvement. This is all anyone can reasonably hope for, and I hope next season keeps heading in the same direction. I was proud to be a Demons supporter for the first time in a long time this year, and whatever may happen in the finals, I’ll be grateful for this alone. Edited August 2, 2021 by Mel Bourne 5 Quote

At the break of Gawn 4,515 Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 Geelong had a home game against Richmond last week and asked the AFL to move it to GMHBA due to no crowds. The AFL denied it and the game went ahead at the MCG. Whateley said that the main driver of this was that the AFL didn’t want to set a precedent. The AFL knows Geelong will have a home final and they will want it played at the MCG. We’d have to be one of the unluckiest teams ever if we’re forced to play at GMHBA in week 1 of the finals. 3 Quote

I think most people will see it that way too. Unless of course if the CMO is a cats supporter. would be interesting if we play the cats 2 weeks in a row though (rd23 and QF) don’t see that all too often. Quote
brendan 3,458 Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 Will be interesting if we know we will be playing Geelong in 1st final before round 23 how would we approach the last game, I would be inclined to send Casey down and rest our stars, I bet Geelong will do the same thing Quote

Dr. Gonzo 24,468 Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 Why are people automatically writing us off for the round 23 game? I think it's a 50/50 game, not a certain win for the Cats. I think the narrow ground might actually suit our defensive structure, I'm looking forward to the game. 2 Quote
Kick_It_To_Pickett 3,293 Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 If Geelong want a home final at Kardinia, the crowd split should be 50/50. So good luck to the pr!ks. 2 Quote

If they end up 2nd and we are 3.Rd then we play either at GMBHA or the G BUT YOU wrongly asserted we could play the next week in WA at Optus which we can't as we would be the higher up team. AFL are very cognisant re erosion of rights of teams in any ground changes etc. Quote
