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

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
