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.

Tonight is the first time port have beaten a top 5 team , yet they’ll finish in the top 2 !

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.

Yes, but if we win…..

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: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
