Top 2 is a better goal. Let’s not be cocky and think that playing Port in Adelaide or Pies in week one is going to be a better result than a home final in week one ffs!

Not cocky, don’t think we are finishing top 2. We almost beat Port playing one decent quarter over there. Don’t want to play Pies here first week of finals.

    Honestly anyone who wanted Essendon to lose doesn’t understand how this season could play out. Very poor result for us. 

    I hear you, but where I’m at is that if we finish top 4 (as we’ll need to to have a genuine chance), then from there, if we’re good enough we’ll win.

    We can win this year, no question, but I’m not seeing the team unity we had in 2021, and that Collingwood and Port have. 

    long way to go though…

    Hey peanut ...

    Demons were never going to finish top 2, so it's better that the teams pushing for 4th place lose. 

    Come back to me when you've thought about it ... hahaha 

    I agree with you Winners. This talk that we're a lock for top 4 is very premature.

    Hey Einstein, we could absolutely finish top 2 with our percentage gap. Port winning today makes it much less likely. 
    If a side like Essendon get out spot in the top 4, we can’t win the flag anyway, so what does it matter?

    All will be revealed in the fullness of time.

    If you can’t take joy in watching the peptides lose like that, I feel sorry for you. 

    I take joy in 3 things and 3 things only 

    1- Melbourne winning 

    2- Geelong losing 

    3- Death riding Freo

    Port are very ho hum away from the MCG. Would love to get them there in a final.

    Butters is playing a complete outside game. 25 disposals for 4 contested possessions and 8 score involvements.

    If someone sits on him that's a huge part of their game nullified.

    And still, Essendon should have won.

    Next time we play Port, if we do, I hope Harmes sits on Butters.

    Pity our chances of finishing 2nd have almost been snuffed out but that's on us. That said, if we had to miss out on a home Qualifying final then Essendon losing after the siren is how I'd want it to happen.

    So do I. That's why being able to fit Harmes in the midfield over JJ, gives us good options. Leaving Clarry, Trac and Viney to play their game.

    If we're good enough, as Richmond were, we'll win it from fourth with a leg in the air.

    I'm sorry but Essendon losing after the siren makes my night. 

    Our ladder position is up to the players and Goodwin and us winning. We can't rely on other teams. 

    It's a shame Essendon are still in the 8

    We’re not playing good footy consistently enough and the gap between our best and worst is gigantic. We are very flaky atm and are currently a fair way off the top 3 performance wise.

    Dont worry about top 2, Id be happy finishing the regular season top 4. From there anything goes.

    No one in the league and for good reasons have decided to sit on Butters.

    Port are in for a rude shock when finals come along and someone decides to sit on him with a firm tag.

    Dunno, that loss to a [censored] Freo side at home certainly cost us more than Port beating Essendon….

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
