Go Saints.

Without knowing what will transpire tomorrow, I think St Kilda winning would be bad for us.

    Lions kicking for goal very poor. Could be one of those games for them.

    The opposite actually. If the saints win then sydney can't move up from 7th.  Unless they beat us by 10 goals and the blues lose by 10 but hard to see that happening.

    I was thinking more along the lines of Port/Melbourne winning tomorrow. We’d have to travel against an inform Port. I’d prefer a flaky Collingwood at the G.

    But if Port lose and we win, then we’re hosting a final.

    It’s a difficult day.

    Brisbane lose

    Melbourne win and Port win - we play Port in Adelaide

    Melbourne win and Port lose - we claim 2nd spot and a home final vs Lions.

    I just want it to get to the Port match with top 2 still in play. Would suck if it ended right now.

    Gee lions making hard work of it.    How different if it playing during the day in Brassie compared to a slippery night game.

    We've got 4th locked regardless of any other results this round.

    Dead rubber v swans. Use tomorrow's game to experiment fwd and down back. 

    A win is great . Lose ? Who cares. Stay away from the Gabba. They'll be kicking goals blindfolded in the QF . Todays goal kicking mess is irrelevant.

    Wow, just wow. Brad Hill has a chance for a massive breakaway, doesn't handball, somehow finds himself in a htb tackle, back the other way and Daniher goal. 

    Kayfabe of WWE standards.

    St Kilda winning and us winning gives us a home final against Brisbane.

    Edit: I am wrong.

    Need Port to lose also.

    You could fool me that St Kilda are a finals team. Sure they are frustrating them with good defensive structure but where's the execution? Can't generate any scoring shots and look like they panic when making that final kick into 50. 

    Plenty of teams would be putting Brisbane to the sword for missing those chances but not the Saints. Blinkers central.

    • 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.
