    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
