All the more reason why we need to fill the G and be very loud from the very start. We need to take advantage of every advantage we have.

Agreed. Need to make the G sound like the 2018 finals series again and let Sydney feel the raucous and intimidation that we copped in the Perth 2018 prelim.

We most certainly won't get this luxury if/when we play Collingwood in a prelim or a GF.

The last quarter of the round 12 game V's Sydney felt like a Dees away game, particularly in the AFL members. Even when we got on top at stages throughout the night, I thought our crowd was a bit lackluster.

    Yep, that night was a joke. I cracked it at so many friends that night that favoured Kayo. 

    Everyone just get on board,

    Anyone think the same as what I do in regard to Marcus Adams. I think that he was concussed alright but it wasn't that incident.It was actually the incident from the week before against Cats I think and he was cleared to play.Pretty poor if that is what happened in my book..

    Sounds like Sydney are backing in their 10-2-1 record against us at the MCG since 2002 and then get their prelim at home.

    Last three years:

    2022: Swans won by 12
    2021: Demons won by 9
    2020: Didn't play them at the MCG (Swans won 67-46 at the SCG)

    The swans will be a very hard match. I would rather we were playing the other 2 top 4s.

    How so dl4e? Hibba takes Papley, Heeney and Florent. The rest you raffle.

    And as a reward for finishing first, Geelong get to play away to the fourth placed Collingwood.

    FMD

    Um . . . sorry mrtwister. Just checking. You mean the club that plays poor drawing, weak sides, eight times a year on a pocket handkerchief shaped like a triangle, effectively gifting them 32 premiership points, is being hard done by? The current draw is virtually a handicapper event with Jeelong deemed to be on one leg with a blindfold on.

    Poor bloke. The one thing you want is to have a crack but to be continually let down by your body is just unfair. The end is near I suspect.

    Freo’s last 6

    Lost to swans by 17 at home.
    Draw against the tigers at G.
    Bent Over by Melbourne at home.
    Beat the dogs by 17 at Marvel.
    Beat the Eagles big deal.
    Struggled to beat the Giants who didn’t want to win.

    By comparison the Dogs last 6 wasn’t much better, however they did beat us and they have a good recent finals record. This is an each way game for me.

    Dwights tips for this weekend 

    RD 1 

    Tigers by 22 - Better side in better form, Brisbane will be shaken by what happened vs the Dees 

    Dees by 34 - we're a different team than they played last time, will rise for Finals and jump them and carry the lead 

    Pies by 14 - Cats are going to get jumped, mental scars will show and the Pies will win a close one 

    Dogs by 2 - Love the dockers contested style, but i am much more confident in the Dogs ability to kick a winning score than the dockers, even in Perth

    Lions and Dockers for me.

    What I would like to see is Geelong get jumped in the first quarter again in a final. I heard today they are 1W 7L in Qualifying finals.

    I don't.

    The lions are a good team, who ran into a Demon juggernaut. 

    At home they will be too strong for the tigers.

    For punters, the 2.18 for the lions to win is brilliant value.

    They should be fired up after the suggestion they were faux tough guys however with Rayner and Adams out and Dusty back as well as Zorko being Zorko I think the Tigers will have their measure. Would love to see Brisbane boot them out though.

    Fagan is under incredible pressure to keep his role i'd say. if the Lions bomb week 1 i wouldn't be surprised if they make a change. 

    Selwood meets Viney, I am so looking forward to us playing Geelong. There is a reason why the cats have them as a sponsor, they need a large supply of tidy whiteys before a Demons game.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
