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!!

Didn't read earlier stuff!!!


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

Just need to be the better team for 3 more games and then back to back!

Terrific work a always Luci!

My favourite poster !!!!!!!

So he’s not just Lucifer’s Hero?

If we beat Sydney we play the winner of Freo and the Dogs in the Prelim

 

Not unhappy with that.

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.

Edited by Nascent

 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.  


First off a big shout out to Saints they got within 7 points of Swans and helped us hold 2nd spot. Now we all get the opportunity to cheer on our mighty Dee’s at the G. Can’t wait for this one.❤️💙👍👌

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: 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
