If I've read the ladder correctly, Fremantle make the eight if they beat Port next week and any of Carlton (v St Kilda), Hawthorn (v North) or Footscray (v GWS) lose.  They're in with a show but have to win to be any chance.

Correct. 

Fremantle’s destiny is out of their hands. They may be eliminated by the time they play, if those three sides all win. But if any lose, they will pass the loser(s) with a win because of their draw. 

Collingwood effectively eliminated (mathematically alive but need 150+ point swings or something).

How Fagan continually puts up with that perenial big game choker in ERIC HIPWOOD Bafles me. Until they banish him and a few others who choke in big games, they will go nowhere

He's only ever played a big final against us in 22 lol  ....And inducted himself into: The Kent Kingsley Memorial Society of Spuds Who Play Well Against Melbourne

Freo missing finals on 13.5 wins will be pretty funny

Although the Blues losing on 13 would be better 

 

Ha ha 24 hours ago the ferals were [censored] a hoot, the players were celebrating.

24 hours later they're flat & now whinging about games they lost earlier in the season. 

Just would have been sweeter if they lost that gf last year.

Oh well. After next week I don't have to see them or essendon play again this year

So, the pies win a flag - and fail to make the finals the following year.

Culture issues?

On First Crack, all three panelists had us as the most disappointing club 2024. Collingwood 4 pts in front of us was 2nd, 3rd most disappointing and Huddo didnt even have them in the top 4 most disappointing. 

Im not suggesting we don’t belong there but surely that #1 spot solely goes to the pies - the reigning premiers ?

Guess they all know Pies fluked a flag they didn’t really deserve. Hence it’s little wonder they are where they are.

How are Adelaide and St Kilda not numbers 1 and 2?

David King had written us off prior to the Carlton pre-season game, whilst he talked St Kilda up all summer.

Adelaide was supposed to be the next big thing and are going to finish bottom 4.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
