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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
