We’ve arrived at the final round of the VFL for 2025, and every finals spot is up for grabs! The composition of the 10 is almost set, with Coburg sweating on the result of Williamstown and Richmond to determine whether they grab the final wildcard spot. A Seagulls win would see them very unlucky to miss. For Richmond, a home final is on the line with a win possibly taking them as high as 4th, while a loss will definitely mean the wildcard game, so it should be an intense battle at Point Gellibrand.
For our Dolphins, a win over Brisbane assures the double chance. A loss under 15 points still may be good enough (keep your calculator handy). A win and a loss by Southport against North Melbourne would take us to third spot. If Brisbane beat us by enough they will take our double chance and see us host an Elimination Final in week two of the finals…..unless both Collingwood and Richmond make up a massive amount of percentage to relegate us to the wildcard game. A loss for Brisbane and they could slip into a wildcard position, so we can expect them to bring the heat. Should be a cracker!
At the top, Box Hill and Footscray are separated by only percentage and take on the resurgent Casey Demons and Carlton respectively to try to claim pole position. For the Demons, a win could see them as high as 5th, while a loss would possibly send them to 9th and the wildcard game. Collingwood head to North Port to take on the Borough, with only 0.5 percent separating them from Richmond. Again, a loss for the Pies would be a debacle and make them a wildcard. A huge win could take them to 4th. GWS Giants take on Gold Coast, and while sitting 9th right now could leap as high as 5th if results go their way.
And so it begins, strap yourself in Dolphin fans, cheer your lungs out, and take our boys over the finish line. A win today and we’re one game away from hosting a preliminary final at Kinetic Stadium. Game on!

R20 Coburg v Port Melbourne

Season 2025 - VFL Competition

Another very disappointing fade-out. I must sounds like a broken record!

Coburg just finished stronger and kicked the last three goals if the game in front of a very good Sunday crowd in superb conditions.

I'm not sure what I can say about Port. We aren't a bad side... But we don't use the ball enough and aren't winning enough of the footy in the middle I feel.. Our attacks are really set up out of the back line.

IThe off season should be very interesting to see who is rerained, who is let go and what kinds of players we are targeting for next year.
