    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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
