  • EF:  Freo vs Bulldogs @ Optus
  • EF:  Lions vs Tigers @ Gabba
  • QF:  Geelong vs Pies @ MCG
  • QF  Dees vs Swans @ MCG

The road to back-to-back for us is: 

  • Win the QF and go straight to a PF where we will play one of:  Geelong, Collingwood, Freo, Bulldogs at the G.
  • Lose the QF and we play the winner of Lions/Tigers EF at the G.  Win that we then face one of Geelong or Collingwood in a PF at the G.

We can avoid whoever wins the Geelong vs Coll QF until the GF if we beat the Swans next week.

And it looks like we don't leave the G.

See you at the G folks.

ps hope I have the sequence right😐

Looks to me like: if we beat Sydney, likely to play Freo in a prelim (good for us)

 

If Geelong beat Collingwood (they will) they play Sydney or Richmond in a prelim (bad for Geelong!)

Reckon we’ll be Sat night 

 

Last year the 2nd Qualifying final (2nd vs 3rd) was the first final played on the Friday. If the same happens again, then Papley would miss the game due to 12 day mandatory lay-off for his concussion.

Given the week off - surely they structure games so that no player misses due to concussion protocols.  It's pretty unfair otherwise.

I don't want swans supporters to have an excuse

Um . . . where's Carlton? Is there a mistake?

22 weeks….

I don’t rate Freo

i think we’ll beat the Swans

Prelim V Pies (I can’t even begin to contemplate this or my head might explode)

GF v Cats (I can’t even begin to contemplate this or my head will definitely explode)

Yes. 

His name was Lachie Fisher I believe.

Carlton were 8-2 at round 10.

Any chance that first elimination can be the Thurs night game?

Absolutely.

Although gut feel says it will be Freo V Dogs.

No travel from now on whatever happens, and no early encounter with Geelong or Collingwood. The perfect outcome of this weekend's round. And depending on the fixturing, Papley could miss out in the qualifying final. That would certainly be a big loss for Sydney but fixture dates should be set without any consideration of any club's injuries or suspensions, which are a normal part of the game.

2022 finals.... I am prepared to accept our team’s philosophy of “Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime.”

Why would you possibly want that?  Wednesday and Thursday night games are putrid.


What a time to be alive

I respect the Swans because of their record against us and at the G. We need the fans to get along and get behind the team

The pies are on a freakish run. They have me spooked. Would rather avoid them if at all possible

Edited by BDA

So we could play the Dogs in a Prelim, imagine that.

I want the Elimination game on the Thursday so we don't have it.

The last 3 weeks have been gut wrenching. Close loss to Pies, close win over Blues, and then all those other games over this current weekend affecting who we could play in finals and where. I am glad for a bye week in my own right!

But I am very glad with how it has panned out. The Swans are no easy beats but our best covers them. I want Cats out in straight sets, Pies to lose Prelim. But I don't care who we play or where.

  • 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.

    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?
