I would rather forgo not going to a final in person than play a Home final against Geelong at Geelong. Empty MCG every day of the week or Tasmania.

The worst part about a 7 day lockdown is the first 3 weeks

I called this weeks ago. This is why Top 4 isn't enough. We need to beat Geelong in Round 23. Don't want to play them 2 weeks in a row there.

Crowds in Geelong was a media beat up all the way through. It would be absolutely ridiculous to have thousands at the footy in Victoria whole cases are in the community. Why take the risk?

Saints a decent chance with finals on the line. Cats form is dipping

Good fixture for us as Dogs, Port and Cats all play on Saturday so we will know exactly what the situation is come Sunday afternoon. In my opinion, a good position to be in at this stage of the season.

Its pretty simple, beat Adelaide and get ready for Geelong which will be Saturday night the following week.

Can it dip so far DD that Cats lose their last two and Lions win their last 2? If that happens Lions finish 4th and knock Cats down to 5th. Then again, do we want two interstate teams in the top 4?

Nonetheless, exciting finish coming up.

Geelong will not lose to St Kilda. Unfortunately.

You’re probably correct but we said that about the Giants last week. It’s just a bit of fun picturing the Cats losing all three home games to finish the season.

Yes it would be hilarious. But it won't happen. The saints played well last week so they will be shizen this week.

i actually wonder, given that there's the 'week off' the following week, whether they schedule it for a 'prime time sunday evening' game to try and maximise what will likely determine who finishes top of the table

I think they could quite easily. No crowd at Cat Park. StKilda smashed Sydney last week.

Cats have 8 players listed as tests!

Tuoey out is big. Not great prep for them

In the Gus and Gawny podcast Gawny mentioned we have a horrible record with a crowdless MCG. I can't remember the numbers but they were bad for a team sitting top of the ladder.

We're 0-1-3.

Lost to Richmond and Geelong last year, then this year drew with Hawthorn and lost to the Dogs.

We're 3-0 in crowdless games at Marvel (beat Carlton last year, Bulldogs and GC this year).

And we're 0-1 in crowdless games at Perth Stadium (Round 1 loss to West Coast last year).

And given that we can't be the Friday night fixture, you would think that will be Dogs and Port.  So we will know ahead of time if Port has a top 2 spot (in which case we need to win to get top spot in order to avoid playing them at home in a 2v3 QF).  If they have lost, then we are playing for 2nd or 3rd place and that would only be of significance if the GMHBA home final delusion hasn't been extinguished.....

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
