You're right. I have no idea what I was thinking. Collingwood losing would have put Brisbane 5th.

It would've been an insane two groupings after hopefully a QF v Sydney win  -  You would've had the media anointed premiership contenders all in one group, then all of the clubs that were fancied early on in the season, that the media have all jumped off. 

Anyway, not to be: silver lining is a better all round finals series and probably a tougher draw to prime any team good enough to make a GF.

    Not me. My hatred of Geelong has surpassed my hatred of the pies.

    I want the Cats out as soon as possible to wipe the smugness off their faces.

    Just had a look on Ticketek. 
    It said club members can purchase up to 10 tickets. (I thought is this right?….) I then looked at the Cats v Pies game and club members can only purchase 1 ticket. Obviously both Victorian clubs with large supporter bases.

    Yeah, that is what it says...10 tickets per member.  So I guess they aren't expecting a lot of Sydney fans.  Nonetheless it seems a lot of tickets...

    So this finals structure is like a Dan Brown novel according to the ‘efforts’ in their thread.

    Lock it down, people! You’re embarrassing yourselves…

    You just referenced a Dan Brown novel so there’s plenty of embarrassment to go around

    I’m sure your kids would prefer to be at the G watching a final? Start early convincing them 🙂

    What’s this ‘convincing them’ business? Next thing they will be choosing what they want to eat!

    Bit of ‘tough love’ needed here.  They will thank you later on in life.

    Same the next best thing after a Melbourne premiership  would be  the cats out in straight sets

    If you sign in at https://am.ticketmaster.com/melbournefc/ it gives you your barcode already that says it can be used for finals.

    Thanks.  My barcodes were there🙂

    If for some reason members can't access their ticketmaster account check emails this afternoon for barcodes.

    Don't believe them!

    We are a better team now:  Hibberd will not let Reid get away like Tomlinson did, we have May back (but they have Buddy back), we have a different fwd line without M. Brown.  Our ball movement is different.

    And Sydney have won seven consecutive games.  Can they continue?  I have my doubts!

    Anyway, win lose or draw all dee fans should go.

    They only beat us by 2 goals FFS and we were in the middle of a form slump (aka loading). 

    They can have all the confidence in the world, but I saw us and them play this weekend and I know who kills who at peak form (and we played a far more formidable opponent at a ground they rarely lose at!).

    The same Sam Reid that is 196cm tall?

    Job for Petty or Lever. May to take Buddy.

    Hibbo will take Papley.

    May to Buddy, Petty to Reid (what an upgrade on Tomlinson), Lever on McDonald. 

    I would get Harmes to play on Heeney. For me, he is their key playmaker. If we can shut him down I think we win.

    True.

    I was hoping to give  @Demongirl35 reasons to go to the game ie we are a much stronger team now than in round 12.

    I'll add a few more reasons on match ups:  neither May or Buddy played last time but naturally May will take him.

    Now that you mention Petty, he was injured early in the rnd 12 game but played on so our defence was further weakened.  There is a lot of synergy in our back 6 so with a fit Petty and May in we are much stronger.

    Ditto at the other end of the ground without M. Brown.

    There is a fair chance Hunt will go to Papley as he has done a great job on small fwds this year and has the speed to keep up with him.

    And they had Paddy Mc playing on Kozzie who drifted off and marked everything in sight as did all their defenders.  I doubt that will be allowed again with Max down there now.  Reckon Melksham would be good match up for Paddy.

    I hope he does, and whilst I don't condone violence, I hope he punches the living suitcase out of him.

    Is anyone aware of how many tickets I can purchase with my barcodes, for context I'm a Trident member with 2x barcodes.

    Any help on this would be amazing.

    The Ticketek website says 10 per member which seems odd really high, especially as ticket sales to the general public don't open until 3.00pm tomorrow.  It doesn't seem right that a member can buy 9 additional tickets for non-members.  Confusing...

    The club is sending emails to members this afternoon so hopefully, it is all clear then.

    I wonder if Hibberd takes Heeney when he's forward and Hunt is given Papley?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
