Without wanting to sound to mean hope you lose, possibly after the siren. 

We conceeded a goal with 13 seconds to go! But nevermind, lady luck smiled upon as today in Perth 😁

    The help of a bottom 6 draw can be seen in Hawthorn.

    They got each of Richmond, North Melbourne and Adelaide twice. They went 6-0 against them.

    The way they play is very attractive and exciting, but it's also important to note that the only finalist they've beaten since Round 13 was Carlton two weeks ago, when they had no one on the bench in the second half, and they only played three finalists in total since Round 13 (lost to Geelong and GWS, beat Carlton).

    It can help but you could have had Fremantle Hawks and GC this year

    He wanted to get paid big dollars at Freeo. Going home would have meant allowing the MFC to negotiate with both WA clubs. 
     

    Let’s not gloss over Dogga’s dog act. 

    Actually even worse, WC probably could match the salary.

    He just didn't want to be in a rebuild.

    Yes it was quite enjoyable until Fremantle failed again. Enjoy the finals.

    Correct. North copped a much harder set of double ups than Hawthorn did. 

    There are no guarantees with a bottom 6 fixture because it is set based on the previous year’s performance. Hawthorn’s just an example of how it can work in your favour.

    As Bt would say....

    Gee wizz

    What a cat amongst the pigeons is the Dockers losing 

    Given their high percentage, they would have catapulted above gws into third or fourth.

    Such a huge loss that sees them miss out on finals. Probably one of the better teams.

    Now gws face off against Swan's. Despite this season's results Gws usually have the measure of Sydney. Should be interesting.

    As for Port winning in Perth....a case of form v lack of with port winning four on a row and docker's the opposite.

    Port are seriously overated in second spot as well having had six games this season decided by a goal or less. And Port won all six of those. Wow.

    Blues are the luckiest club in the comp and go into finals very underdone.

    Unless Curnow plays they are done and dusted. Here's hoping.

    Sydney have a severe case of the wobbles at the wrong time .

    Port despite being as described are choc full of form and confidence.

    I guess Swans are still faves but gws and despite being fifth....the lions are the threat.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Congratulations Freo on earning my most hated team this season. Embarrassed us once, then beat us again and then couldn't get the job done to end Carlton's season.

    I'm the token Blues supporter here, I get some shade thrown my way, but don't forget you are all a bit Navy Blue too 😁

    'Interesting times' in the Docklands today ... All's well that ends well I guess ... 😅

    Nah, Go Northern Fitzroy.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
