    Whenever we play we will have an extra two days rest on Sydney.

    Given that Sydney played today, I doubt our QF will be on the Thursday night.

    It could even be Saturday afternoon to give Syd the chance to get back to Sydney that night in case they play the following week.  Finishing top 4 gives them that right.

    But more likely the two QF will be Fri and Sat nights.

    That was an ordinary performance by Sydney.  Whenever it is we should win!!

    Since the Thursday night final was introduced in 2016, they’ve never had a MCG final in the Saturday twilight slot.

    Thursday or Saturday night for mine.

    Thanks for the reminder.

    I figured to play on the Thursday Sydney will have an 11 day break and they will probably kick up a fuss having finished top 4.

    Wouldn't be surprised to see one of the EF on the Thursday night.

    It should be Geelong vs Collingwood Thurs, us vs Sydney fri, freo vs dogs sat and Lions vs Tiges sat night. That way top 4 teams get more of a break, as we've earned it

    Can you believe in 125 years we’ve only played the swans twice in finals??

    first in 1936 and then 1987….

    Thankfully the last month of footy has also helped me get accustomed to dealing with big match nerves 😅

    I'm not really fussed who we play, where or when. Confident that our best trumps the rest.

    Hopefully it’s a bit like the 1987 game -blew them away 

    Personally I think they are real threat to us they seem to match up well and their backs are pretty underrated

    We need to bring our best and I hope it’s a very very pro MFC crowd just like it was in ‘87 

    If I remember correctly it was T Viney that kicked the first game that day to get us going - maybe J Viney this time

    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)

    Or even better

     prelim  vs Gee 

    GF v coll

    Let's not forget Geelongs finals history and Collingwoods Grand final history

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

    They had the premiership sewn up by round 3. We're all just playing for second place.

     No matter what day or time we end up playing it is just so important that everyone that can,  actually turn up and support our boys.  

    They have fulfilled their end of the bargain, we must fulfil  ours.  We have over 60k members and plenty more supporters. No excuses.


    We must outnumber the opposition and be bloody loud and ensure it is a very hostile environment for opposition supporters and players alike.

    If Collingwood lose to Geelong then we’d play winner the the Pies and Freo/Dogs semi final.

    Assuming we win week 1.

    Correct Jimmy. 

    We could play the loser of Geelong/Collingwood if they win their Second semi vs the winner of Freo/Bulldogs.

    Anyone know when we are likely to find out when we play? 
    I have to plan an overseas trip and I want to make sure I am back before the bounce. Whenever that is.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
