Only confirms that the AFL have the fix in to make sure C'wood wins enough preceding games to make that an elimination final for C'wood.  (Yes I am paranoid)

Cannot see them beating swans in Sydney or Brisbane in Melb 

Both have to keep winning to ensure home final - big big incentive 

Granted Sydney have a hole to climb out of atm but they are too good not to bounce back at home imo

    There are two MCG games, the other is Rich v GC. 

    They don’t want dead rubbers on the Sunday so they had to put one on Saturday and one on Friday night. 

    Why would the AFL prefer dead rubbers on prime time friday night to Sunday?

    bizarre

    Anyone planning to retire needs to play this game and cheap shot that dog Maynard 🐕 

    Melksham would be the obvious one, right position on the ground and has experience with punch ons. However I'd be shocked if we don't offer him another year.

    McDonald another candidate if he decides to hang it up, give him one last game forward. He's had the angry pills with the umpires lately, he could direct that at Maynard instead.

    The left field option... Lachie Hunter. One final game to get him to 200. He can take out Maynard and win the hearts of Dees fans on his way out.

    Because they want the suspense of the Sunday having top 4/8 impacting games (people will probably watch the Friday night game regardless), and probably to ensure Foxtel has some good games that round.

    I actually hope we play Ben Brown for his final game. He was a huge part of the 2021 flag and deserves a final game. They should put him in cotton wool and just bring him in for that game. I reckon the players would really try get up for him.

    • 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.
