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

    Huh?

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
