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.

    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

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
