    I'd rather Collingwood straight sets, then we beat Geelong in the GF.

    Can’t see the tigers making the GF. 

    But tbh, I won’t be thinking past week one, beat the swan it’s, then relax for a week.

    Tigers midfield is bog ordinary. They won't be able to compete against the top four teams, even if Dusty returns.

    There'll be surprises though. Always are.

    Freo the only bottom of the 8 teams that could give it a shake. Richmond aren't much chop.

    Geelong will be found out

    Dees to win it.

    The only team that worries me in the finals is Collingwood, they have this enormous belief to win from anywhere. Carlton dominated the key stats even more so than we did when we played them and still lost, there's just something about the pies and I hate it.

    Hopefully we don't have to play them but part of me wants them to beat Geelong so we don't play them in a prelim and if it does come to it, we roll them in the GF.

    My thoughts exactly. Pies are riding the crest of a wave. Want to avoid them if at all possible

    I think it will be a Melbourne - Geelong grand final and we beat Geelong.

    I think finals is a different game altogether. Collingwood play a very high risk game, which can go very wrong come finals. I also can't see Geelong losing to them week one, and once they lose week one they might feel really deflated and fall apart. 
    They have had every ounce of luck go their way for about 18 weeks now. Surely it can't last.

    Freo and Melbourne have the best 'finals' game plan. Geelong is Geelong. Will anything change for them in finals this year, is yet to be discovered. Sydney have deficiencies, which were on display yesterday. Richmond have had a super soft draw leading into finals. They have all the experience but their best soldiers are on their last legs. Only a Dusty special can get them far. 

    Dogs are literally making up numbers. They will go out without a yelp, and I will laugh and laugh and laugh.

    Other teams will be intimidated to meet Melbourne in a home final at the G

    Agree with this . A large part of it is they have forwards who are great kicks for goal Elliot, ginnevan, Johnson, even Cox can be very accurate and mihocek. They also have very smart players who are great kicks in daicos X2 , Pendlebury, sidebottom, crisp ,degoey( -smart bit ) who move the ball beautifully. And Moore, Howe patrolling the back. Must dangerous team for mine

    Yep and on top of the elite field kicking their players are extremely athletically gifted. McRae has really found the perfect gamestyle for their ability and it's scary when they get going.

    Playing Collingwood in a semi is the stuff of nightmares.  I've only just come out of the fetal position from two weeks ago.

    I’m not concerned by any team outside the top 4. Don’t think any of them will beat us at the G in finals. Top 4 is a different matter. Sydney looked average last night but if they click their best can be very good. 
    I think Geelong( well mainly Danger and Selwood) would benefit from a second week off in finals and don’t think they can win it if they lose to the pies in first game. 

    Dees to beat Sydney, Geelong and Pies in the GF.

    y'all not suffering from mfcss?!??

    i'm worried about EVERY other team in the 8

    one of the most even seasons of all time; i reckon everyone in the 8 COULD win it, but cats are - deservedly - favourites

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
