Chris Scott will be screaming tonight, Home final for Port. Of course a draw tomorrow night would put an end to that problem. 

No it wouldn’t. Geelong would finish third, Port second

    Heaven forbid a result ever goes our way?

    They most certainly went our way when GWS beat Geelong, Essendon beat Dogs and St Kilda beat Sydney a couple of weeks ago.

    Should not fear anything, MFC want to play in Adelaide.

    But not against a crowd of feral Port fans, scaring the umpires into giving them everything and  lifting their team.

    For now. That’ll change soon enough.

    Chris Scott's already been on the phone to Gil stating how unfair it would be to send Geelong to Adelaide for an away final.

    Can't wait for the record free kick differential tomorrow night

    The game will be on tomorrow, as both teams I think would prefer not to play  Port in Adelaide. Winner will play Lions.

    Lol the dogs board blaming the umpires. Absolute flogs. Winning the free kick count for the year by 75+ and have certainly been kissed on the [censored] all year. Finally get called for their cheating throws and they [censored] about it

    A Brisbane team (who belted us in the first half) in red hot form at a neutral venue or a Port Adelaide team at home with all their feral supporters who’ve won their past 6.

    Neither task will be easy

    Port at a neutral venue would have been ideal.

    Remember when everyone was saying Melbourne had peaked too early and were talking up the Bulldogs?

    Well, the Bulldogs have now lost 3 in a row and we've won 3.

    I haven't rated the Bulldogs for most of the year and now it looks like they'll miss the top 4. 

    It is difficult seeing so many Bulldog figjams strutt around shaking their heads after the game, but I'll take it.

    But Port... wow, imagine them being a top 2 team this year. What a joke.

    Cats could finish second if they win. 
    They’d have to score 130 or similar to MFC 129 for their percentage to fall below PA

    Would be grand if the Eagles pull off a miracle tomorrow. My preferred draw would be the Dogs right now. They look cooked.

    Do we want to play Port in Adelaide, or the Lions in Adelaide?

    Why would be have to play in Adelaide. As home team we would get the choice. Go to Tassie

    Boak won that for Port.

    Dogs hard to like with sulky Bont, Libba, Smith, Weightman.

    But for a 3 point turnaround, tomorrow night’s game has gone from dead rubber status to first week of the finals status. Regardless of whether we’re a better side or not, playing Port in Adelaide with their crowd, and only their crowd, is a 4 to 6 goal harder job. We don’t want that, and neither do Geelong. Port are now in the finals box seat. As the only club who’ll get a home crowd for two finals at least, they have to now be favourites to make the Grand Final. Seems wrong, but there it is.

    Never when it matters. If Mufasa FC could have held on the most we would have lost tomorrow would be a minor premiership - now we’ll lose a home final and have to play the Power who have won their past 6 in a row.

    Not to bad for us.

    We have some incentive now to beat the Cats.

    Not sure if the Cats play well at home without their usual crowd. Must feel like a training drill for them.

    We have been winning and it is good form to go into a final series with winning form.

    Hoping we are too fast, fit and skillful for the old Cat. We could break them tomorrow, (as we have done to a few teams this year), and put their finals campaign in doubt.

    Great to see the Dogs fall, they have been called the team to beat, up to round 20. We have been the ones that they couldn't trust.

    Remind me again why we didn’t draft Wines! Unbelievably bad decision at the time.

    We lose tomorrow, we finish third and lose home team status.

    Bont 5 touches in a half of footy.

    Clarry could seal the Brownlow tomorrow if he plays well. 
     

    What an absolute disaster. Port get to host finals with their home crowd. Nothing surer than them making the grand final. If it’s at AO they can just about seal the deal.

    Nothing we can do about it but win and avoid it. 

    It’s hard to think Port can be 4-5 on the ladder for most of the year and end up hosting two finals but that’s what happens when you win your last six, including Sydney, GWS and the Dogs.

    Well they said that last year and it didn’t happen.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
