    Cannot miss out on a top four place. But can we now relax?

    Reminds me of 1964. Secured top place after r.17 and then got smashed by doggies in r.18 when it didn't count.

    Good outcome nevertheless.

    Funny way to present the percentages. It's really a domino-effect where if Melbourne plays Geelong then Dogs will play Port.

    It's basically 50/50 that the entire top four will have replays, with the only other factor being if one of them loses BOTH remaining games AND one of the Lions or Swans win both of theirs.

    The top four could actually be locked in for replays by the end of this round because when Melbourne and Geelong play obviously one goes up and the other goes down, resulting in either a 1st/4th or 3rd/2nd split.

    Would be funny to go into that final round game already knowing that we'd be playing the next game as well.

    Just indulging in some even sillier speculation; we could conceivable play Geelong in the final round, the first round of finals, and then in the Grand final again.

    If nothing else, surely that would earn us the right to not have to meet them in 2022. There's only so much Geelong anyone can be expected to put up with.

    We have not won this many games since 1958. We have been this high at the end of the season since 1964. This is our best season I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. This is our time

    So let’s take it one week at a time and smash those Crows this weekend.

    Hey I'm playing 3D chess here and am already formulating our plan for the 2022 Marsh Community Series. A loss in one or both would be catastrophic. They'll probably send us to Broome or Cape York. Damn the AFL.

    If we lose this weekend Marsh Community Series 2022 will be the Suns away in Wuhan, (and we’ll only be allowed to fly in on game day).

    If we ended up playing Geelong in the GF, I'm confident we won't be playing at Kardinia Park/GMHBA Stadium in 2022. The AFL will want any game between us played at the MCG. Especially if full size crowds (remember them?) are allowed.

    Glad we now know via direct experience as a team that we can win there... (as we have done a few times over the last 5 years).

    Definitely not. If all Top 4 teams win this week and then we lose to Cats and Port beats Dogs we play Port in Port. 

    Would not bother me in the slightest.

    Possibly the most bizarre yet funnily possible post of the year.

    I’m not against a Perth hub per se.

    However, if the Eagles make September, I have reservations. They’re at least a four goal better side there.

    I think every club should be hoping the Eagles don't make finals. we can't have their entitled, idiotic supporters spoiling finals with their moronic booing

    Maybe now only  2 goals with the retirement of Margetts.  🙄
     

    But if they are getting done over they could always call on the ⚡️

    I've got a grand final guarantee so would be mortified to have the game played in Perth if we made it that far. We'd have to quarantine for 2 weeks and face extortionate flight prices. Who the hell can afford to take 2 weeks off work in this economic climate? If it definitely can't be played here I'd prefer Adelaide where fans of each side can at least drive there in nine hours and not be captive to price gouging airlines. If the ground holds 10k less than Optus they can add 16% to the cost of the tickets to make up the shortfall in revenue.

    • 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.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
