Are you presuming we would lose to Sydney and win the semi then?

We would meet Geelong in the PF if they lose the first final again.

    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.

    Yep agree completely. The finals are wrecked this year with Collingwood & dogs in it.

    Does anyone know when our qualifying final is likely to be?

    The way Collingwood win is getting beyond creepy. They just can’t miss at the death. Some powerful voodoo and witchcraft going on there.

    Brutal way for the season end for the blues. Does their miss beat our record from 2017?

    It comes close but no cigar.

    When Essendon suffers, I always enjoy it because they continuously renew their deserved sentence of eternal damnation.

    But the football deities have gone too far with Carlton. It is just gratuitous cruelty now.

    If Sydney manage to lose top 4 we have Pies first week. They have been incredibly lucky - beating sides outside top 8 by very small margins. I would like them first up. Go Saints

    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.

    I've been betting against the pies for 3 months and losing. No way am I betting against them to reel in the Cats

    McCreery kicking one from 50 on the boundary, when Curnow missed twice from 20m, is just sickening.

    If we have to cop them, the QF is the best time. 

    If they make a PF, I want nothing to do with it.

    We will be playing on the Thursday night, No way the AFL will waste the Cat / Pies game. It goes straight to the Friday night spot.

    Carlton is stupid and so is anyone who likes them.

    Absolute do not know how to go about the last  60 seconds.   Short pass rather than the long bomb   and they have a shot with a chance if a goal.  And they had two goes at it. Stuff them bit it cost me the 9

    • 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.
