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.

    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.

    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

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
