Sydney have won a lot of games this year by 8 - 10 goals:

  • +61 v Eagles (Optus)
  • +58 v Ess (SCG)
  • +51 v Saints (SCG)
  • +53 v WBD (SCG)
  • +73 v GWS (SCG)

So they will back themselves in to get the score needed for 2nd spot and a Home final.

However, this game is at Marvel Stadium where their results this year were:

  • -11 v WBD
  • -15 v Carlton

St Kilda's Marvel Stadium record this year is:

  • +33 v Richmond
  • +26 v GCS
  • +10 Cats
  • +53 v North
  • -35 v Ess
  • +15 v Carlton
  • -41 v Freo
  • -28 v WBD
  • +12 v Hawks

While their second half form isn't as good as the first there have bee no blow out losses; the biggest being nearly 7 goals.

 

Conclusion:  Sydney will not blow Saints out of the park by 8-10 goals.

    Does anyone know how the finals fixturing usually goes? Need to plan my weekend! Complicated by Father’s Day a little. 

    cats v Freo/pies Friday night?

    dees v swans Sat night?

    EF Sat arvo and sun arvo?

    just realised cats might get to play at Mordor if they play Freo 🤢

    They often start the finals on the Thursday.  If so there probably won't be a Sunday afternoon game so your Father's Day should be ok.  But that could depend on who plays and where the Home games are.

    The fixture will probably be out within 24 hours of the last game tomorrow.

    Please let us not be on the Thursday night slot. They can give that to Geelong v Freo

    Oh really? Cats will get the prime spot being 1st which will be Friday. So we’ll probably be Thursday with a chance of Sat. 
     

    Thursday night finals should not be a thing!

    Yes please, say no to Thurs night finals. Give it to Geelong, they had no problem scheduling our game down there on Thurs night.

    Odds on they give us that slot  Thursday night with Melbourne v Sydney = ratings in two biggest cities and ad revenue.

    I think you’re also missing the North v Swans game at Marvel recently which was 88-126. That won’t get the job done for them.

    Surely you don't waste a QF on a Thursday, Thursday night should be the lowly elimination final (Brisbane v Carlton/Richmond)

    After last year, we deserve having a massive final on our home deck. Been a long time since battering the Hawks in 2018…

    Last time Weid actually played at AFL level as well

    It’s also the rest timeframe. A team who finished lower shouldn’t get an extra days rest for the upcoming game

     

    They all get a week off with the pre-finals bye.  The extra day won't make any difference.

    Assuming Collingwood wins I’ll have a stab:

    Thu night -  Fremantle V Bulldogs

    Friday night - Geelong V Collingwood 

    Saturday twilight - Brisbane V Richmond

    Saturday night - Dees V Swans 

    With regards to Thursday nights, they’re not afraid to put a blockbuster qualifying final on that night. In 2018 they had Richmond V Hawthorn so it’s not out of the realms of possibility we cop Thu night.

    Ah, I see your point now.  Fair enough, too.

    Yeah. You could potentially have 8th (EF1 W) spot play 1st (QF1 L) with an extra 2+ days rest

    So that would've ment Sydney need to a score a couple more goals today, I think they need like 10 goals differential today to be comfortable. 12 had we not conceded those late goals

    If you want to fill in the gaps in Grapeviney's nice table regarding % and the Saints' score, just copy and paste the following into Google search to see the score Sydney has to get to beat our percentage:

    For example, if the Saints have scored 80 points, then paste into the search field:

    =1.30546190155091*(1542+80)-1979

    that gives 138.459204316, so they need to score 139 points.  Replace 80 with whatever the Saints have scored as the match progresses.

    Not quite

    One action affects the numerator whereas the other impacts the denominator element of the equation. 

    Let us say we were at 130.

    If they score twelve points we have to score 16 to remain at 130

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
