I'm basically the same, although I think Syd beat GWS.

I'm most scared of the Cats - and would love them to go out in straight sets, but I think its out of them and us (whether we meet them in the PF or GF).

Swans midfield without Mills and Kennedy against one of the best midfields in the comp? Just can't see likes of Buddy, Papley getting enough supply. GWS by three goals.

Essendon might be a bit like us in 2018 after a finals drought. Enthusiasm and emotion count for plenty in finals. Dons by five goals.

Cats will beat Port. Cameron/Hawkins to play blinders.

Dees to beat Lions. Would love for us to hit them hard early and then keep them at arms length for the rest of the game.

I’ve said it since the start of the year, but I think Sydney are a huge chance and along with Geelong are the biggest threats to us.

sweet jesus, I don't think I could take watching us in the GF against the Cats

I'll be in the fetal position checking the scores every 20 minutes

Get the feeling the Lions are the most in form team in it at the moment, Cats last 3 they're 1-3 and only fell over the line against the Saints, 

we're 4-0 and in good shape injury wise and should beat the Lions but i see them as our biggest threat. 

I think we can feel confident against anyone else

i have a horrible feeling this thread is going to coax Dr D out of the woodwork to produce yet another factual prediction of doom and gloom. I believe his last one, based on his ability to know more about football than any other numbskull on demonland, had us dropping from 1st to finish 5th and feeling grateful to be in the 8 at all. My skills as a budding Nostrodamus have Dr D predicting we exit the finals in straight sets 😜

Lets hope so given everything he's ever posted has been wrong, it would just about guarantee us the flag

Week 1 (When hope turns into happiness /despair)

Port to hold off a fast finishing Cats by 5 points

Bombers to cause an upset and knock out the Dogs (who look completely lost right now) by 17 points

Melbourne to put in a 4 quarter professional performance and defeat Brisbane by 22 points (even after a 3rd quarter fightback from the Lions)

GWS to be the anti-GWS and out grind the grinding Swans in a 2 point thriller

Week 2 (Usually the most one-sided week of finals)

Lions to take care of the Bombers by 30-36 points. Just too strong and the Bombers will run out of momentum.

Cats to defeat a gallant GWS by 20-25 points. The benefit of this matchup is that Geelong's older playing list will be hanging on by a thread.

Week 3 (The Cox Plate -The best weekend of Football all year)

Demons to overrun a lethargic but determined Geelong with a last quarter 6-8 goal blitz. Dees by 30-40 points.

Port Adelaide in another Preliminary Final classic but this time it goes the way of the Power. Port to defeat Brisbane by 2 points.

Week 4 (The one where we win the whole F*cking thing) 

Grand Final will be held at Optus Stadium.

A heavyweight title fight between the best 2 teams of the home and away season.

After a tough 3 quarters where both sides have momentum but can't take advantage, I have the Dees in front at 3/4 time by 4 points. The lead won't blow out to more than 12 points for either side during the game.

Our superior fitness will see us push out to a 24 point lead with 7 minutes to play.

Port will kick a goal to bring it back to 18 points with 6 minutes to go.

A steadier from Ben Brown will take the margin back out to 24 with 4 and a half to play.

The "built for finals" gameplan will see us run the clock down with stoppage after stoppage for a 23 point win.

And hit them hard late, and hit them hard in the in-between bits. Surely the ticker gets a rest this week.

Yep i agree. Have never seen it so tight

Meth Coke and Richmond were pretenders this year. Their replacements will have a Red Hot go

I fear the 5-8 teams more than the 2-4 to be honest.
Not that any team in the finals isn't good, just that the Bulldogs, Swans, Giants and Bombers all have traits that aren't negated as easily by our strengths.  So I'm very happy to see them eliminate each other before too many of them get through to us (assuming we can do the job against the Lions.
I don't rate Port Adelaide particularly highly, but they could be blessed with two home finals in front of a crowd.

It's easy to be in good form when your last three games are against Fremantle, Collingwood and West Coast.

It's also easy to drop a game or two when your last three games are against GWS, St Kilda and Melbourne.

IMO, Brisbane's and Essendon's formlines are mirages.

Port's and GWS' formlines are far stronger.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!
