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

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.

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

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 !!

I just want to hear the alarms sounded if flag faves lose three on the trot.

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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
