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!!

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

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.

 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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
