I hear this game may be played in Perth despite us having the right to a home final. I think there's some health regulation behind the ruling.

A bit unfair my fellow chaps, but I feel the Dees may take this in their stride all the same. Go number 9 (has he gotten smaller?)

    GWS without Greene for mine. They won't have enough goals in them to kick a winning score

    Geelong.

    I greatly fear the way the Giants moved the ball against us last time we played.

    Last time we won a prelim we beat the team who was ageing and on the way down, North. So history can repeat for mine, let's play the cats

    If greene is out , play gws in prelim. . He is there game winner . But they would need to get over geelong first . Like all teams that win there qualifying  final straight to prelim , you hope  that the team you play had a tough game the week before. Port at home should be very warm favourites who  ever they play  in their preliminary . Not thinking too far ahead . One week at a time .

    I expect GWS to win but I'd prefer to play Geelong. We'd run over the top of them because of our superior fitness

    Can’t believe I’m saying this Clint but it won’t matter.

    Neither of them will beat us, both looked real tired this weekend.

    I think I prefer to play the Giants. Their forward line isn’t as much of a worry, and they also play a contested game which I think we can beat them at. I know we lost to them earlier in the year, but I think we were struggling with our scoring and clearances which we’ve fixed up since then.

    With the Cats, I worry how easily they got a hold of us last time. Cameron and Hawkins can get off the chain and kill our premiership chances. Their over possessive ball movement can work really well for them at times. The reason we won last week was because they just couldn’t get their hands on the footy at all in that last qtr. The other factor is that, yes we’ve beaten them twice this year already, but beating a quality team like that three times in a year is difficult to do. If we do end up playing the Cats and win then we’ll be certainties to beat Port/Brisbane the week after I feel.

    Seems some are thinking Greene may be rubbed out for 2 weeks. Probably won't be rubbed out at all.

    GWS - have been away from home for months, enormous game against swans

    Geelong - old AF

     

    Whoever we do play should be rooted by the time we get to them. Give me the cats, because [censored] them!

    I wouldn’t think so.

    How can they sell tickets to a large section of people that are ineligible to attend.

    I paid for a GF guarantee, would be bad business to not be offered a ticket

    Think we'll be playing Geelong. Greene sent to tribunal, Green fractured forearm, Reid hammy, Cummings ankle.

    Hopefully it's hard fought and the Cats get banged up. And hopefully there is no bye between the semi and prelim.

    Looks like it's Friday night for us.

    There won’t be a bye after the semis. That will give the teams that won the qualifying finals 2 weeks off. No way in hell the AFL will do that. 
    Only chance for a bye is prior to the grand final, and if Covid situation gets shaky they might just scrap it altogether.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
