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.

    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.

    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: 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.

    • 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.
