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.

    I agree entirely.  I just wish people would not reply. How stupid are they?

    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 😛

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
