I'm just so pumped for September. How great is it being the team who is already a lock for top 4. 

Doggies would be sweating bullets all week, a loss next week and there is a high chance they drop out of the top 4. It's normally us who had the deal with that pressure. 

But I'm sure the dogs will be fine once Dunkley, Keith and trealor are back..... oh wait 😂

    Unless we lose to Adelaide tomorrow, today's results have basically meant there won't be repeat games from Round 23 into the 1st week of the finals. Presuming we win against Adelaide tomorrow:

    • If we beat Geelong: (a) we finish 1st and play either the Bulldogs or Lions if Port beat the Bulldogs; or (b) we finish 1st and play Port if the Bulldogs beat Port.
    • If we lose to Geelong: (a) we finish 2nd if the Bulldogs beat Port, and we play the Bulldogs; or (b) we finish 3rd if Port beat the Bulldogs, and we play Port in Adelaide.

    Impossible to play Geelong in the 1st week of the finals if we win tomorrow... see my post above.

    This may not have taken Port's smashing of Carlton in to account. But if we beat Adelaide, lose to Geelong by not much and port beat dogs by enough, we can absolutely play Geelong first week. Port finish first, cats 2nd, us third and dogs or Lions 4th

    Permanent anxiety now that I have expectations of 'my' team. 🤣

    If Geelong have the option of hosting GHMBA stadium finals because of no crowds at the MCG,  then surely we’re better off playing Port in Adelaide than Geelong in Geelong.

    To my mind Geelong’s home ground advantage is more pronounced than Port’s regardless of crowds, and therefore more difficult to beat.

    All good possibles depending on %


    Don't really mind who we play, think we can beat them all depending on where we play. Don't want to play at Adelaide or Geelong, would actually prefer to play the Dogs at Marvel , think we defend the ground better than at the G

    By the way, how did Port Adelaide get the chance to be hosting a home final, must have had the easiest draw by far..

    I've just emailed the MFC with regards to the GF Guarantee.  They were nice enough to carry last year's GFG over to this year, but now I'm a bit concerned that they might no be so forthcoming this year, and with Sydney pretty much odds on to still be in lockdown and Sydney-siders rightly unwelcome anywhere outside of Sydney, and if Melbourne do make it to the big dance, there is zero chance we will be able to avail ourselves of the GFG again this year.

     

    @hardtack we're in NSW as well so we're screwed.

    I'd like the club to manage GFG re-allocation of tickets should we make it and it's in Perth or Adelaide.

    I want as many true demons fans at the game as possible. It think it's really important. We can do it individually via demonland but it would be nice for the club to manage it and ensure as many supporters as possible show up for us.

    Otherwise, the AFL will use the unused allocation to make money.

    We could even do a donation system with Reach as well perhaps.

    I'll write to the club as well.

    What do others think?

    P.s. I'm still considering stowing away on a Perth bound semi or hiring a demonland super Yacht and sneaking over.

    What's the great Southern Ocean like this time of year?

    Why is it called a double chance? As  i understand it if you win the QF and play the next game as the PF and lose you are out.

    One chance.

    Because if you lose the QF you are not out.  You get another chance the following week in a Semi Final.

    All other finals are sudden death.

    Bulldogs lost two winnable games:  Essendon and Hawks so it opened the door for Port to go top 2. 

    But Port aren't there yet.  If we beat the Crows, their top 2 chance is all but gone.

    I'm a GFG holder here in Melbourne. If it's in SA I will definitely make the trip. 

    It may all be moot though with the way the covid numbers are heading in ViC,  we simply won't be allowed in any other State.

    They'll finish top 2 regardless of any other result if they beat Dogs next week .

    Not really. If we then lose to Geelong and they beat the Bulldogs. Then they finish 2nd and we finish 3rd. 

    if they smash the Bulldogs and we just lose to Geelong they could even finish 1st. 


    Bulldogs will beat Port.

    There were 32,000 cases in the UK yesterday. 

    Our summer could be similar if our risk appetite changes but I believe the EPL has vaccination/negative test proof as means of entry.

    The loud ‘freedom rider’ idiots will not like that…

    They've just got to best Port. Us winning or losing either of our matches becomes irrelevant if they beat Port, they'll be top 2 with home final

    Have rated dogs all year but I watched last qtr and a half against Hawks and they looked like miles off, no structure and a lot of 2nd guessing. 

    Port are a chance. And I haven't rated them all year.

    If dogs play like the last 2 weeks, next week, then Port will beat them easily. 

    but surely dogs will wake up from their slump next week? 
     

     


    My 40 plus year old son.... they couldn't engineer who they want us to play, could they?

    It's all academic really as it doesn't matter which team are the runners up when Max and Goody hoist that cup.

    It is us who can engineer who we want to play, as we'll know the Friday night result ahead of us playing on Saturday night.  If it suits us to lose against Geelong in order to meet or not meet a team in a qualifying final, that option would be open to us.  I'm not suggesting it's something we should do.

    As I posted early play both games at same time, memories of 87 last round

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • 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.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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?
