Richmonds already booked their finals berth today against Hawks.

If things dont go well for us next week we could run into Richmond in a EF.

Ugly.

    Still not sure who I want to win out of Syd & C'wood to increase the chances  we finish in the top 4  IF we lose to Brisbane (yes, sorry, I'm looking at the pessimistic case). I think in that case we want C'wood to thrash Sydney and Sydney to not get their percentage up in the last round? Views?

    I hope someone new comes into the footy market in the next broadcast contract.

    Kayo is the worst app I’ve ever used. A big international player will surely wipe the floor with the garbage tech we have to put up with.

    From what I’ve read everyone is pushing for their own commentary on all games. That at least gives us an option to avoid BT.

    No, we never wish well to Collingwood. Sydney to win by the smallest of margins. They (Pies) then lose again against Carlton and drop of top 4. That would mean that we either win against Brisbane, Sydney loses against St Kilda (wishful thinking) or Freo to draw/lose.

    Best scenario ....Coll beat swans but lose to Carlton r23.

    We beat lions we finish 2ND. Pies % is putrid.

    Cant rely on Stkilda helping us and swans % will likely finish higher than ours.

    Why do posters want swans to win. We cant finish  2nd. Imagine relying on Saints to do the right thing by us. Hilarious!

    You all must really hate Collingwood...lol

    I think most of us believe we are a good chance for the premiership as long as we are top 4, so not necessary to finish second.

    Would come down to which team  "Melbourne or Sydney"won by the most next week. Myself I would rather play Collingwood or Geelong in the first week.

    You do realise it’s harder for us to maintain second if Magpies beat the Swans ? lol 🤦‍♂️

    Exactly, best case scenario for us is equalization of points. Then percentage will be like a flip of a coin.

    If Pies win, we are likely 3rd, but FW final at the G against Coll if we beat Brisbane 

    But Sydney look a lot better

    So the reigning premier must fear some teams (e.g. Geelong or Sydney)? Not the best attitude to have going to September if you ask me.

    Have a missed the retirement of the red Sherrin - why are Sydney and the Pies playing with a yellow ball?

    P.S. Sydney will win this. Simply because they played North last week!

    Why is there a problem with having a preference?

    When I go to the Pub I'll eat anything...  But it's perfect OK that I prefer an Eye Fillet over a Parma

    Fear no team but we still need to finish top four.

    Do wonder how much last week has taken out of Collingwood

    And expect last night to do the same to Carlton.

    Would love to play Geelong first up but not sure we can finish fourth.

    I literally think we are a better chance to beat Swans away than to win a final at the MCG, where we’ve been horrible for all of the second half of the year. Conversely we haven’t lost an interstate game yet.

    Normally I'll barrack for the result the suits us best but in this instance i don;t care. I just want to see the pies lose because i'm sick to the back teeth watching them win tight matches

    And yes, I hate them as well

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
