ROAD TO THE GRAND FINAL

  • 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!)

    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

    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)

    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.

    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

    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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
