Well you may regret your action Hardwck now that the GF is a distinct possibility. !

?

 
 

So where will finals be then? There wasn’t any mention of an MCG GF so I guess that’s off the table now. I find it bizarre that Perth are almost the only ones being properly considered to host the GF, Adelaide Oval is a stunning venue and would be a great location to host. I wonder is the treatment of the olympic athletes that had to double quarantine has made that impossible now. 


After seeing covid numbers in Vic today you can just about kiss finals at the MCG goodbye.

    This is why a part of me doesn't mind the pre finals bye. Give that extra bit of time to assess where numbers are at and hopefully allows us to attend finals in Melbourne.

    A bit of history when we’ve finished top 4….

    we’ve finished 1st 9 times for 8 flags and 1 runner up 

    we’ve finished 2nd 4 times for 2 flags

    we’ve finished 3rd 8 times for 1 flag and 1 runner up

    we’ve finished 4th 8 times for 2 runners up


    (…our other flag came when we finished in 6th position at the end of the home and away season)

    I’m a bit the same in that I’m surprised they’re considering ditching the bye, I guess they might feel if they can see what’s happening immediately they know more and feel more confident. Whereas if they keep the bye it could get better but it could get worse. What a world we live in! 🙄

    Cool. Might be worth me checking my monthly payments as well to see if they charged me for it again this year. 

    I'm being charged the same as last year.

    Hmmm...I wonder what proportion of a tridents home & away season ticket is made up of the grand final guarantee* then Clint. I've just checked and my monthly payments are the same as last year as well. Maybe they've increased the price of a season ticket by exactly the same amount they deducted for our carried over grand final guarantee* from last season. 

    *guaranteed until such point that it can't be guaranteed. 

    We should all be watching Tom Stewart's medical report to find out if the pre-finals bye is still on.

    If it is 2-4 weeks then the rest week is definite on.

    Well things are becoming clearer.

    We beat the suns and cats...FIRST

    Beat the suns and lose to cats maybe 2nd if dogs beat port.

    Which would have us play port if they win this weekend

    If we are first we could play cats two weeks in a row.

    If port win their next two we could be third and play power away if only we lose to cats after we beat the suns.

    Hopefully doggies snap out of their funk and smash port next week.

    So If results go as predicted today n tomorrow with Melb, Geel & Port...

    Winner of Geel/Melb (1st) v Loser of WB/Port (4th)

    Winner of WB/Port (2nd) v Loser of Geel/Melb (3rd)

    Crazy round 23!

    If the Dogs lose to Port and Brisbane belts the Pies and WC then Brisbane 4th and Dogs 5th.  About a 90 point swing required which is possible

    Finals start in 13 days!!

    i need to change my undies already!

    If results go expect this round (Geelong, Port and we all win), then next week is huge: if Port beats the Dogs next Friday night, we'll need to beat Geelong to avoid going to Adelaide for the first final.

    I really do not want to play geelong twice in a row. If it is their home game in finals and they play it down there I willl become demonically insane.

    I think you should be more worried about playing Port in Port. Very real chance of this happening. 

    almost resigned to that or the Cats at Kardinia Park

    that's 2021

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.
