    We'll win, beat GWS in the prelim and then beat Lions on the G for the flag haha

    Thursday is less time for Moore and Daicos to get up too. That's also a win.

    They ruled Daicos out already. He’s two weeks off from even running. Will be lucky to play the prelim.

    I'd pay $1,000 right now for it to just turn out like that.

    Because it’s a final we absolutely should win against a side who can kick goals quickly if we nap. It’s also Collingwood and losing to them would ruin my day, possibly my weekend.

    I'm away so haven't had the chance to see the Sydney game.

    The Melksham news is devastating on all fronts. Having cemented his spot and done so well this year, to miss out on the finals campaign will be heartbreaking for him. Meanwhile it throws a massive spanner in our forward line thoughts. Having him and Petty go down in the final month is just no good. 

    I suspect it will be TMac who gets that spot. Fingers crossed whatever form he got today, and perhaps next week for Casey again, can translate into AFL level, because if we get the slow, early-2023 TMac, that won't work.

    I don't need to have seen the game today to know that we won't be dropping Turner for anyone except Tomlinson. We are not abandoning that plan now.

    Don't worry mate, just enjoy the fact that we get to play an age old rival with packed G!

    If we lose, well [censored]; I'd rather be involved classic contests against the teams we most want to beat!

    If lose, we'll also get a chance to smash em again!!

    I'm sure it's already been said but this QF is possibly our make-or-break at the flag.

    Win it, we get a home prelim against Brisbane/Port/St Kilda/GWS.

    Lose it, we get Carlton/Sydney (likely Carlton) in a semi before having to travel to Brisbane/Port.

    The stakes are huge.

    I don't see any other matchup shaping the finals series more than this one.

    Maybe if Port get over Bris that is bigger but still not sold. I think all eyes will be on the G.

    Which was an odd choice from Horse given the form Rivers has been in 

    Yep agreed 

    we're three wins away from being premiers

    it's pretty simple

    win this one and we're in a very, very good position

    for mine...i'm shattered for milkshake - he's been fantastic the back half of this season; such a shame

    OUT: melksham

    Absolutely [censored] luck with injuries all year. Amazing we’re fourth and two finals at the MCG.

    Hope there’s 95,000 but will probably take a hit in turnout if Thursday night. Atmosphere will be electric!

    Could you have Grundy as the sub or is that the stupidest idea since dog goggles?

    That suggestion's an insult to dog doggles LZ.  Brutus says hello!

    Thought it was Montagna that gave us the pump up. King just nodded his head.

    King had us number one seed last week, but when asked to give his GF and Premiership tip, said Collingwood would beat Lions in the GF. The man changes his mind on everything for no good reason every week. Only a few weeks ago, he said Collingwood couldn’t win the flag. They’ve not beaten anyone of note since, but all of a sudden, he thinks they’ll win the flag again.

    The ‘expected scores’ only had Collingwood beating Essendon by 30-something points. Essendon were terribly inaccurate and Collingwood vice-versa. Essendon probably also have the worst form out of any side atm. Not sure you can flip an opinion or change a view based on Collingwood’s win. Essendon literally shirked at contests, it was unbelievable.

    • 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.

      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.
