Hope the Cats get smashed tonight. Although no Nick or Steele makes it interesting.

Sydney and Bombers will overtake the Cats and they'll be 11th.

suck it

    Tricky games for the Lions and Port. Would be great if the Crows and Giants can turn them over.

    Geelong - Pies, can't make up my mind. Pies losing keeps the door open for top spot (albeit a slim chance), but that keeps Geelong's season alive. I think I prefer Geelong out of finals.

    Adelaide to upset the lions.

    Ditto GWS at AO.

    And we beat Carlton locking in the top 4.

    Upset alert!

    I feel it in me bones

    North will beat the bombers

    bombers are cooked, are missing a few and should have lost to WC at home last week. Cunnington and Wardlaw in for north

    Brisbane v Adelaide

    Percentage could well decide second spot.

    A high scoring close shoot out would be wonderful assuming we can't have a Crows win

    120-118 is perfect

    Probably better for us if Collingwood lose to Geelong tonight. It give us more options.

    1) We will likely finish higher than Collingwood on percentage if we go 3-0 and they go to 1-2, and therefore securing a top 2 spot.

    2) Should us and Port go 2-1, Collingwood go 1-2, and Brisbane go 3-0, we would finish third and play second placed Collingwood. Don't mind that scenario at all.

    Agree.

    Very hard to win at the gabba.

    But the crows will give it a shake, it's an elimination final for them and they have a pretty good defensive system.

    The last few weeks for us have been huge (our own results and others going our way), but this week is just as big. Beat Carlton, Collingwood, Brisbane and Port lose and we'll just about guarantee top 2. 🤞

    Definitely want Collingwood to beat the kittens. I cant stand their arrogance and Dangerfield saga this week is the last straw. [censored] them.!

    Norff to beat motley Bombers who get the rub of the green more than the bulldogs. Umps saved them last week. Useless.

    Crows a chance against Lions at the gabba. If Tex fires up so will the whole team.

    Can’t see all those 3 losing. 
    But, I said it before and it happened so who knows. 
     

    I am the most confident GWS beat Port. Less confident Crows beat Lions at home. Not confident at all that Pies lose to Geelong, who to me looked absolutely cooked.

    I have tipped North to beat the Bombers - at Marvel, Bombers not playing great footy, North can challenge but rarely for 4 quarters. Tonight, they will do it for Cunnington.

    Collingwood tonight. Cats out of the finals is sweet, sweet bliss.

    Collingwood to play again at the G v cats. They played and won there in Rnd 1. Why do they never ever play at Kat Park?!! Its like only 3 times in the modern era v our at least 25 times.

    Fitzroy have played more games there than Collingwood.

    Enquiry pls !!

    Important to wait until the very last minute of the very last game before claiming top spot! 😁

    Tonight I'll be watching Pies-Cats just to see if there's still a silly chance of it happening.

    Pies are only two games ahead of us so if they drop this one then the hunt is on for real.

    I'm clinging to a dream where Essendon pip them in the final round and cost Collingwood top spot, but then the Bombers still miss out on finals.

    Nope, its possible we could become favourites if Collingwood lost (3rd game in a row) and we won regardless of top spot.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
