We'll have a to send a couple of bottles of wine to the Saints out of our $1m booty. Thank them for the big favour they just did for us.

    With the Saints win finish top of the McClelland ladder and get the $1million!!

    But we don't.

    We can drop next week, Collingwood win both of their last two games and we're tied on points.

    Not sure what they'd need to close the percentage up, but that's the only way we'd lose it.

    Not quite, but oh so close.

    The Pies would have to win by 100s points both games.

    It’s over. 

    Put the $1m in a managed fund. 

    It’s done. 
     

    Thanks to the girls!

    Ha! Is it that much? I wasn't too sure, just knew it was a mathematical chance.

    Sure Pies can win the next 2 and we lose next week but they would have a huge % to make up and I reckon that is most unlikely.

    Yeah. I didn't realise the percentage gap was quite so large. I knew we were comfortably ahead, but not 100s of points per game over two games ahead :D

    You can't include the girls into the men's in terms of culture. That's offensive to the girls program.

    It's Separate. 

    The girls are a very well drilled team which is driven hard by Mick Stinear who's created a fantastic culture for the women's. 

    The boys could learn a thing or two from the way Mick and his team go about it from a culture point of view.

    Yes, but there are many who are happy to pin the failures of the men upon those that should also get the plaudits of our women’s program.

    So while I agree that lumping them together is misleading, so are those that want to pick and choose what the club stands for.

    No, they go off points and then sort the ladder alphabetically.

    Not bad for a club with culture issues. Absolute powerhouse I say. 1 men's flag 1 women's and consecutive finals appearances for both!

    Go dees!

    It’s certainly a win for the President and CEO as well as all the admin who work across

    The men finishing 4th with a strong percentage gave the women a great platform to top it off.

    Hopefully it creates a stronger bond between the two playing groups as they can work together for success.

    Over 5k per bonus per bloke, 8k odd for the girls based on list size of 31, not bad going.

    Girls have been great but the boys had a big part to play as well.

    Wouldn't put it past the AFL to move the goalposts to gift it to Collingwood.

    I'll leave the exact percentage calcs to all of you, but in the theoretical 'we lose next week and Collingwood wins this week and next' it depends on all of a) the points scored and b) the margin in our loss and c) the points scored and d) the margins of Collingwood's wins.

    But what Collingwood has to make up can be determined from the current total points for and points against:

    MFC: PF - 2704 / PA - 1900

    CFC: PF - 2409 / PA - 1952

    If Collingwood equal our AFLW record score of 107 both weeks and keep their opposition scoreless, and Brisbane equal our record score and keep us scoreless those numbers become:

    MFC: PF - 2704 / PA - 2007 134.7%

    CFC: PF - 2623 / PA - 1952 134.8%

    I think Anthony Green would call it for us.

    The men's side should donate their side of the Trophy monies to the girls. 

    They are already well remunerated ( 10X on average now) and they would only be handing more $'s to the tax man than any of the girls would be. 

    That’d be a small price for the men to pay for improving the image of the Club.

    100% agree. Hopefully this happens. Anyone know the average afl salary for 2023 v aflw?

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
