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

    • 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?
