    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.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
