Dogs look close to cooked but their game style troubles us the most. I'll be thrilled to see them miss the top 4.

    Doesn't matter what happens tomorrow with next week. So we play Port in Adelaide if we lose and most likely Brisbane in Adelaide if we win. I'm not sure one scenario is more scary than the other. Port have been involved in something like 6 games with results being within two goals and won every single one of them. If luck went against them and they lost a few, they'd have been vying to just make the 8. 

    We have beaten both teams this season, both away from home.

    We have lost 4.5 games this season. In every single one of them, we were still in the game with less than 10 minutes to go. We have been the best team this season and by quite some distance, we have a very healthy list such that we've been able to drop Hibbo and Milkshake. Just stick to our game plan, be discipline and keep the intensity up, and we will be fine.

    So who would we rather play next week. Port or Brissy. I would say Port but that is my opinion. Either way it would be in Adelaide.

    What are you, six years old?

    You do know this is a thread about non MFC matches?

    The occasional use of lower case and punctuation might help you in conversations with the adults.

    Bottom line is destiny in our hands. The analysis on where you play who you play is over rated. The Dees have the form; fitness and talent to beat Cats. The difference this year to previous finals years is I truly believe we have the best team.

    Not what we wanted. Must win tomorrow now. Port in Adelaide is going to be very tricky. Dogs are gone….

    Just bloody well win it and then let the others all worry

    At the Gabba - almost a certainty. 

    Brisbane have to have a reasonable win over WCE eg 133 to 100 or 66 to 50 as far as my limited maths tells me. 65 to 50 would leave them below Bulldogs

    Brisbane look good but they’ve barely even played a top 8 side since the bye, let alone racked up the wins against them.

    Brisbane won't just pass Footscray's %, they will exceed it by quite a bit. WCE have given up on the season, rested their good players. They don't intend to get close.

    Someone spoke to the Umpires at half time apparently about short kick play ons, throwing the ball and illegal disposals.Then someone said "hang on you know this is Port and Footscray playing here"

    We completely dominated Port in Adelaide only a handful of weeks back. Off the top my head, Goody has maybe a 5-2 record at Adelaide Oval (with those two narrow losses absolute robberies by the umps - which I know is counter to my pep-talk, but still). I'm not sure why some you folk have the fear. I reckon the boys would relish playing in front of a crowd again.

    Same. Brisbane’s forwards worry me a bit even without Hipwood.
     

    Port look impotent I find. Dixon has been disappointing all year, Marshall is horribly out of form, Georgiadis is injured now.

    The boys have in fact said before the last Port Adelaide game that they love playing to a crowd, even a hostile one.

    Eagles are without several key players. It will be 10 goal+ win to the Lions. They will not muck around.

    As frustrating as that result is we still have our destiny in our own hands. Even if we lose tomorrow it’s not the end of the world, for me our best footy this year has been the best if we bring it in the finals and get a bit of luck where still the team to beat.

    Ladhams is the one who can turn up and do a 2 metre Peter.

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

    A feral crowd and a few free kicks wont worry us.

    We are Melbourne.

    Goody and Scott get together and agree to a 60-60 draw, already agree to the ground both teams want to play at?

    Frustratingly this has now made tomorrow mean something, loser plays Port at home. 

    I know what you mean.

    BUT  I reckon having a real competitive game versus a dead rubber is better for us going into finals

    • 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?

      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.
