    Geelong straight sets @Nascent...delicious.

    The OP has  Geelong winning the first final.

    But has Sydney out in straight sets. Surely not.

    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.

    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

    • 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.

      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?

      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.
