    The most important game for us is suns v blues not even our game rates.

    Suns win or even draw and its all over . We're locked in to 4th .

    I cannot think we will go out of the top for - and if we did, we don't deserve a flag. It's all about top two as far as I'm concerned. Go Pies (gulp); go Freo (gulp  again)!!

    I want the Lions and Port to lose, us back to second. If we do manage to finish second it’ll be a huge help in claiming the flag

    Gold Coast, Freo and the Saints can all win IMO.

    Being optimistic is good but finishing 2nd? We have a makeshift fwd line that kicked 8 goals last week.  I'll settle for 4th and get the tough season tired  Pies at the G in the QF with Fritsch back and maybe tmac.

    Finishing 3rd is a disaster. If we're locked in on Sunday evening i'd use the Buddy farewell game to experiment . Couldnt care if we drop the game.  4th is No1.

    I’m happy with fourth. Can’t see the Pies doing much this September and would love to pump them in front of their fans.

    I see the Lions are into favorites tonight. Pies go very well when they're slightly written off, wouldn't be surprised at all if they got up tonight even with all their outs.

    The number 1 priority is Carlton losing. If that occurs then we can pop open the champagne at 4:50 tomorrow afternoon and celebrate another top 4 finish. Hopefully Carlton "Carlton" it up as they usually do on the Coast.

    Port and Brisbane both losing and top 2 is back on the agenda. 

    If it comes to a scenario where Brisbane lose, we win and then posters hope Port beat Freo for us to get a better draft pick at the expense of a top 2 spot, then I'd have to wonder where their priorities lie.

    Freo anyday over Port.

    A home final is worth a bit more to me than a slightly upgraded draft pick.

    I'm the opposite re Coll vs Bris.  If Brisbane beat Collingwood and we beat the Hawks, we should play the Pies first week of finals, even if we lose against Swans. I'd be confident of beating Collingwood and all our finals will be at the G.  😈

    Finish second and play either port or lions st the G best option. Pies next best option

    You would expect the Lions to be primed for tonight and TBH the Pies dont have much to play for.

    They have plenty to play for. Their form has been very ordinary and they’d want to build it up again going into finals. You don’t want to crawl into September.

    Granted but with Top 2 sewn up I imagine there desire will be less than Brisbane's.

    Carlton will be umpired to a win. Nothing surer. Second week straight.

    If you are playing Pies in a QF or a semi or PF later, I would prefer it in a QF without N. Daicos and Moore just returning from a hamstring.

    Beat them and it’s a PF at the G, likely against an interstate team.

    That is our best chance of getting to a GF imo.

    Then again a home QF against an interstate team is a big chance for a PF too.

    Who knows?

    • 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.
