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.

    • 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.
