The Daniher miss and Zac Bailey thinking he’s out for a Sunday stroll turned out very costly.

    The most blatant umpire cheating in the last five minutes of a game ever seen. The AFL wants Collingwood to be in the finals.

    There was hardly anyone in this thread until the last 2 mins.

    What was your excuse?

    We were watching the replay of the Demons slaughtering the Gold Coast Scums.

    The way Bris caved in, I’m not sure whether I hate them or the filth more?

    Maybe we could make a play for Lachie Neale??

    I mean if the dogs and hawks beat North and tigers tomorrow they'd have to win and make up 10% on Friday night,  as well as hope neither of them win next week either

    Sickening result but good for us. Suddenly our Friday night home game is going to get more attendees and more TV eyeballs. 

    Also gives us really tangible motivation - return the favour from 2017.

    Nope, they’re out to catch Fremantle. All they have to do is beat us and Fremantle lose to Port and they pass them. They also need Carlton to lose both too but with their current injury list that seems likely right now.

    Nibbler played well today.
    I think he’ll play really well next week as well.

    We should pick our targets during the showdown.

    Anyone else watching it with a glass of red?

    We want the pies to win do we not?

    So we can break their hearts next week.

    They'll need like 4 teams to lose their next two games to even have a chance, don't they?

  • Quote

    I'd love to see a stat on how many frees the Pies get in the last 5 mins of games when the margin is a couple of goals or less.

    I counted 5 or 6 straight tonight, and while most were probably there, they were all soft and not frees they were paying earlier in the game.

    I think it’s Freo that is vulnerable. They have to play Port next week, a loss leaves them on 50 pts. Pies win against us they go to 52.

    flagmantle vulnerable to drop out, but filth would need to make up significant percentage to get ahead of them, dingley, or the baggers

    hard to see it happening

    To confirm, they only need Carlton to lose both games. They don’t care about the Dogs or Hawthorn. 

    If Carlton lose both, then they will pass Fremantle and make finals if they beat us and Fremantle loses to Port next week. 

    Our game is first so they may be in the 8 on Friday night, leaving Fremantle to need to win to make it on Sunday evening. 

    By the way - this would be the precise situation for us had we held on last week. We would be playing Friday night for a chance to take Fremantle’s finals spot (again, assuming Carlton lose both games).

    Yep. Norf will be just loving watching him play. Their replacements will have to be damn good.

    Damn Cwood.

    12 wins so far.

    One more than us.

    We had five games that were determined by a goal or less.

    We lost four of them.

    The pies however had 9 games decided by a goal or less

    Two were a draw. They lost only one of nine.

    Twenty four points v our four.

    Other teams above us won their fair share of close ones when we were lost the most.

    Something we need to fix.

    That’s not how I am seeing it. Freo are on 50, Pies are on 48 with a game to play. Am I reading the ladder wrong?

    • 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.

    • 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.
