    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
