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.

    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.

    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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
