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.

    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?

    • 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.
