It is entirely plausible that if Port lose today we could finish as high as second. They have 3 tough games from here they could definitely lose - Pies, Adelaide and Geelong in Geelong.

    Not sure why people are barracking for Port? As Jaded said Port have 3 really tough games, and I like the idea of them being anxious about coming to the G to play.

    Agreed. 
    We realistically cannot finish first. The game and percentage gap between us and Pies is too great. 
    However if we only lose one more game from here on, and it’s entirely possible with our draw, we can definitely overtake Port on percentage and Lions on points. Especially if we beat the Lions in 2 weeks time. 
     

    Finishing second would be the absolute best possible outcome as we stay at the G and avoid Pies.

    ANG13 - I am a bit conflicted re tonight's result.

    It is looking more and more like 4th is the best we can expect, so having cocky Collingwood at 1 would be way better than Port.  Would far prefer Collingwood at the G than Port over there.

    Yep fair enough. Personally if where good enough to finish in the top four and we are playing near our best I don’t think there will be much difference in who we play. All will be tough but all are beatable.

    Finishing top 4 is the only goal. We are at risk of slipping out in the coming weeks. I just can’t trust our form at the moment I’d rather port get up tonight.

    Port firing up here. Looks like second place is gone for us if they hold on.

    Bombers very “lucky” not to be pinged twice in front of Port goal for throw / incorrect disposal

    Wasn’t you dazzle! If you were our list manager we’d struggle to field a team.

    Terrible results for us today. If we can close out the year strongly, best we can hope for is 3rd or 4th. Looks like we’re off to play either Port in SA or Pies first up. Gonna be tough!

    At least you’d know they’d give 100%

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
