These two sides look like they would rather be napping than playing finals 

In fairness I’ve watched 5 minutes of this game 😂

    If not already noted, it just occurred to me that it was also the West Coast vs Adelaide game that cost us a finals spot by the slimmest of margins in 2017.

    Hopefully that is not an omen for tonight.

    I didn't want to post on that well done.

    Crows tanked last round of 2017 and cost us finals. Karma last week was lovely. 

    (Yes I know we should've beaten pies that round but that's not the point)

    Dent the Lions confidence, make them question themselves prior to finals. They’ve everything to play for and it would say a lot if they can’t get it done. 

    Sure. But if they lose, port wins and we win we play port at Adelaide oval week one of finals.

    So, I’d prefer to beat the Pies at the G over PA

    So as it stands right now with, say, 12 minutes to go:

    • Brisvagas wins
    • Port hot faves to beat Ninethmond
    • We play Filth at HQ first week finals whether win or loose tomorrow.

    All have equal footing for me… I would love nothing more than beating Collingwood at the G and I would love nothing more than beating the lions at the Gabba and I would love nothing more than beating port at Adelaide

    hmmm…and I’m not even confused by that post 😂

    you'd think they will hold on from here, maybe saints fit they didn't rest King.

     

    ... especially with shots like that on goal.

    Port play well in Brisbane, I would not discount them from knocking off Brizvegas.

    if we're playing the bears up there, i'll take the twilight slot

    doesn't look nearly as slippery and suited to their style of play than a night game often does

    Total myth that the Gabba is slippery, it's dry from early/mid July onwards. Playing in Brisbane is like playing in Melbourne, just with possibly higher temperatures. Totally different story at the start of the season.

    I think you can work it out

    I'm confused. Did you not read my post?

    We won't play the pies week one if the saints win this game. 

    If the saints and the dees win:

    We will play Port IN Adelaide if they beat tigers (which they will).

    Or if port lose we will play the lions at the g.

    I've only been back less than 48 hours so I may be missing something as to why Coll is seen to be an easier QF than Port or Lions.

    I noticed they lost a few games recently but they will have Moore, Murphy and McCleery back.  They rested Elliot for half the game last night, Sidebottom played in 2nd gear and everyone will have two days extra rest than us.

    If we play Coll and lose we are facing a game each week to the GF and an away PF.    I'd rather an away QF than an away PF.

    Now that the Lions have won, I'm hoping for a Port loss tomorrow.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
