Someone go and tell Carlton to put a couple of players (with running speed) in the middle .

And the Carlton forward coach might think to make sure they have a couple of crumbers in front of the forwards when they send in those repeated helicopter kicks that will inevitably get punched forward. Everytime there were 2 Pies and zero Blues to take the ball away.

    Yeah but we don't want them beating geelong and getting into a prelim

    Id much prefer the Pies in a prelim over the Cats. Cats are the only team that can beat us in a final. Maybe swans

    Carlton were the better side and lost. The filth are a disgrace. Now there is a QF between the 2 worst sides in the universe. Geelong and filth.

    I'd rather play the Pies in a GF than a PF where their crowd dominates. In a GF there's enough neutrals to remove that advantage.

    I'd rather play Geelong in a final than Collingwood.

    Yes, it's good to see Carlton complete the biggest choke in AFL history. But a Carlton win would have sent Collingwood into an EF against Richmond, a strong chance of losing and disappearing from the finals.

    Now they either beat Geelong and make a prelim, or lose then get the "easy" semi (Fremantle or the Dogs) and make a prelim.

    I reckon the pies will beat Geelong. They are battle hardened and full of belief. The cats have been playing practice matches

    The one difference between Geelong and the rest of the comp is that I don't see Geelong coughing up a 25 point fourth quarter lead to Collingwood.

    They are flaky in finals of course, but still.

    They had that mark and a player standing on his own 35 from goal and went to the pocket.

    Well .... The Blues game plan did remind me alot of ours.
    Might get drummed into them as well.

    If the Pies beat Geelong we will meet them in the PF unless they go out in straight sets. Or we do.

    Cats can't beat us in a final.

    Just whisper the name Max into each player and their cooked.

    Geelong have a horrid first up finals record, currently 1 win from 8 goes.

    Nup I could not sit through it if we lost. I don't think I'd ever recover

    Bloody Carlton you gave up a good lead.

    And Jamie Elliot is a class player. Balls of steel. Despite playing for the pies I can't hate him and Pendlebury

    if they choke in the QF and Collingwood makes the prelim, they'll get the loser of us/Sydney or Richmond.

    That's the "hard" prelim. 

    The "easy" prelim is the other side, which we'll get if we can beat Sydney next week. We'll get the Geelong/Collingwood loser or the Fremantle/Dogs winner.

    I'd take a prelim at the G against any of those sides, except Collingwood.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
