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 😛

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
