Freo could be in trouble. Weather forecast for Sydney this weekend is cold and wet . GWS could knock them off if it rains.

Its in Canberra.

    It's not negative. I'm just stating that there's a good chance we won't finish in the top four.  Are we going to bury our heads in the sand?

    No.  What we should all be hoping for  to bury is Brisbane, for starters.  
    What a pathetic meaningless thread.

    GWS and St Kilda both have something to prove and will want to finish the season off well, especially the Saints after last week.

    Swans are in red hot form, but Saints might not get blown out of the water, and we might have another big win against the Lions.

    To suggest we are not finishing top 4 a week before the final 8 is settled, is frankly, just posting garbage for the sake of posting garbage.

    Can’t believe how negative some of our supporters are.

    im surprised there’s not a recent thread called “ we won’t win the 1964 or  2021 flag”

    If we win, we're near-certain to play Sydney, with only percentage deciding whether it's at the MCG or SCG.

    In the unlikely event Sydney loses to St Kilda, we will host:

    1. Collingwood, if they beat Carlton
    2. Fremantle, if Collingwood loses and Fremantle wins
    3. Sydney, if both Collingwood and Fremantle lose and Sydney maintains its percentage buffer over Brisbane
    4. Brisbane, if both Collingwood and Fremantle lose and somehow Sydney sheds so much percentage that they drop past Brisbane (who will have also lost to us)

    If we lose, we can still finish top 4 but would need two of these things to happen:

    1. Collingwood loses to Carlton
    2. Fremantle loses to GWS
    3. Sydney loses to St Kilda and sheds enough percentage to drop behind us

    Those are in order of likelihood. The last one isn't happening, because St Kilda stink. So if you want an insurance policy, get around GWS.

    For a post that virtually all are saying shouldn’t be a separate topic, why is it getting enough oxygen to expand onto a 3rd page? (I apologise for adding to the topic)

    I also cannot believe that people are responding to this thread thus one by one expanding the number of pages attached to said thread.

    We're not beating Brisbane up there so as long as Collingwood beat Carlton which is likely or Fremantle beats GWS we will finish out of the top four.  If that happens we have to hope Sydney loses by more than us. Doesn't look good.

    We're winning the flag!

    And in the unlikely chance of a draw we would play Geelong.

    Tbh everyone has the right to share their views, we’ve all encountered MFCSS at some point in time. Positive or negative, hopeful or cautious, it just shows that our current form is not as confidence inspiring. Nevertheless, I couldn’t believe how tight the table looks right now.. this will be a big week in footy!

    It's pitiful, it's almost like they revel in the misery 🤔

    Meanwhile I've added another to the ignore list, it makes Demonland way more enjoyable

    sportsbet has it effectively 50/50 to beat Brisbane, I wouldn't be so negative.

    “We're not beating Brisbane up there so…..”

    Because they smashed us in the middle of last year….then easily accounted for us in the final in Adelaide and pulverised us on the G earlier this year…wait…what??!! 
     

    FFS stop sooking and start supporting. If you actually let yourself enjoy these times, it’s a thrill ride. 
     

    Or would you rather Less pressure and be focussing on another high draft pick?

    Wanna bet? More sure of beating Brisbane than any other 8 team, only crew that make our offence look good, and our pressure is higher for longer. Easiest game of the next 4.

    I think we can beat The Bears comfortably.

    We ARE finishing top 4.

    So there 😛

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
