Not Port Adelaide. Any team associated with Kane Cornes really.

Gws for jesse.

Then don't care.

    Not sure if the finals can work out like this, but would love a GWS vs Hawthorn Grand Final just purely from an entertainment point of view. Would be an exciting spectacle in my opinion.

    It can happen.

    GWS to lose to Sydney, then beat Brisbane, then beat Port.

    Hawthorn beat Dogs, then beat Geelong, then beat Sydney.

    That regular poster who barracks for Carlton is @No. 31 and has always been supportive of the Dees. You don’t see him bag our players like it’s a hobby. In fact, he’s more of a Dees supporter than many Dees supporters.

    I actually like the way Carlton play when they have a full side… can’t stand the rest of the top 8 barring GWS.

    I don't know what it is about Jesse, but I still love him. I remember reading that he was at the 21 GF to support the boys. He left on the final siren. He was happy for us, but sad for himself.
    Go Jesse. Do it for your Dad.

    Thanks WCW ☺️ Even been a Dees member 2 years running 😁 My gut feeling is that the Dees bounce back next year. Sign one of the King brothers and a solid backup ruckman and MFC are flag contenders in 2025 I say 😈

    GWS or the Dogs. 

    Realistically, anyone apart from the Blues or Sydney.

    GWS for Hogan/Bedford. Bonus that their theme is dope. 
     
    Dogs next cos Bont is talented enough to be a 2 time premiership player.
    Would also be nice for Trealor to finally win one after a 4th attempt. 

  • Quote

    Doggies pls.

    1.  My best friend is a dog

    2.  I had the pleasure of meetimg the Bont and he is as genuine & humble a bloke as you'll ever meet.  It was like talking to a next door neighbour yet he's a super star of the comp.  No airs, graces or pretentious stuff here.  What you see is what you get.

    3.  The Doggies have taken on a few of our boys in Harmes and ginger Baker.

    My next pick is GWS for Hogan & Bedford's sake.  Still hurts losing both of em.

    They will be a markedly different side in the first final, if they can get back a decent number of Curnow, McKay, McGovern, TDK, Saad, Marchbank, Boyd, Cerra and/or Martin.

    They have no pressure, as most expected them to miss the finals altogether. They'll be underdogs against Brisbane even if they get all these players back. But their best football this year has been in the best football any side's played, and they can do damage if the release the mental shackles.

    (Or alternatively they'll get pumped by Brisbane. TBH not sure.)

    Getting nervous that it might be the Hawks that could go all the way. They are coming into the finals with a full head of steam having demolished a succession of teams and lost a close one to GWS. They haven’t been on TV much so I haven’t seen a lot of what their doing but they appear to be moving the ball rapidly and through the corridor at all costs. Their recruiting has concentrated on leg speed, kicking skills and quick small forwards.
     

    Reminds me of the Dee’s campaigns in 87, 98 and 2000, the difference is we ran into genuine quality, inform sides at the pointy end of the finals. This season would be a great year to get into the finals as every side in the 8 has deficiencies and a lot have patchy form. It’s wide open for a young team in form.

    Love your posts

    I wish we could be clear eyed as you

    Speaking to a work colleague today reflecting on the year and he remarked how he laughed when at the start of the year I said we’d miss finals. I then said I think we’ll be ok in 2025 - this year has a 2020 feel to it. Hopefully this galvanises the group.

    good luck to your mob!

    The figures speak for themselves.  

    Over two thirds of respondents nominated GWS and almost 80% are hoping for a NSW victory.

    The Bulldogs also have some friends.

    Nobody wants Geelong to win.  This is very reassuring and exactly as it should be.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
