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

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 😂

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.

Wobbly Pies at the G our best option.

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.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    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
