Thanks, the MFCs newest member; 'Viney', is doing quite well despite her mum's persistence in calling her by some other name.

I agree with the idea but the great thing about UF is the connection you have with the other competitors. With trades and everything happening during the year you begin to make somewhat of an alliance

I don't quite understand why people think that teams aren't trying because of the Keeper rule. If it wasn't for keeper and teams were still struggling we'd still have the same problem - that's fantas

omr its surprisingly like last year, i left my charge too late but taking out teams above me shaping the final 8, if only my list pulled it together a couple of rounds earlier i think i would of been able to have a crack at it.

Well played Scarlett, 1 kick, 4 handballs.... Aaaaarrrgggghhhhh there goes my season. 2 late omissions - the Chad and Drummond out has killed my finals aspirations.

Injuries, injuries, injuries the curse of my season - I'm sacking Bohdan fom my fitness staff - its obviously all his fault

I can't see Thompson getting any weeks. IF he does get suspended then it will be an injustice and you MUST rest your best mid!

Actually looking at your side, I don't know how you're favourite? Should be a walk in the park for the 24's

Neville Jetta, you will not be playing this week v RR. Sidebottom straight back in. Btw, you cost me.

Great game RPFC - Very happy I came out on top thanks to some huge efforts from my new "Keeper recruits" Keiren Jack & Jack Darling.

Big thanks to Watts CookN for that awesome trade early last week. I am sure Jones & Walker will hold up for you also in the run home.

Definately a fair bit to play out in the final round.

JCB - Nobody needs to take pity on you, every week you claim you have no chance & your team gets over the line.

You are the flag favorite my friend, get used to it I reckon you will take home the bacon in 2012.

One of The Brothers Robbo24 or Snomed a huge chance to sneak into the 8.

Wacko Jako, RPFC both massively under the pump to hang in there now.

My agenda - Take out Deevoted & sneak in the 8 myself.

This has a "de ja vu feel" about it for team OMR. I charged home last year only to miss the 8 on %.

Who will crumble at the last hurdle? Who will live the fairytale & charge into the 8?

For those old enough to remember this has the final Home & Away round 1987 written all over it.

Good Luck to all next week. That's everyone except Deevoted of course!

My friend, whilst it is great sitting on top,looking at you guys fighting over getting into the 8, I truthfully have got real hassles. Corey is gone for around 3,weeks, Stanton, possibly 2, SJ maybe1,leaves my team in disarray.OMR,if you don't make it,I will be very disappointed.There will be many changes at the end of this round with still many can make the8.

Absolutely. Need to finish on a win. May have Podsy back too. Selection awaits.edit: Chris Yarran 5 kicks, 5 handballs - geez he is hot & cold. Mentally fragile, but when he clicks he's a match winner.

I had you covered until Cross went down, and out, I was more than a little bit concerned after that.

You were a bit stiff to lose 10 / 3, as it was a lot closer than that reflection. Well done for hanging in there all season.

I have also 50,000 reasons to celebrate, I got the double.

I need Simpson back asap and cant afford to lose Cross.

OMR might have to be favourite against me this week.

Schofield, Merrett, Jackson will cost you. As long as Thomas and Robinson are back in it will be a 14-1 win. FA's always cost me

Had we played last weekend I would have beaten you 8-7.... and FA's are worth 2 points...

:) Are you "Deestroyem" ?

You wouldnt also be "Flying High" by any chance ? If so, I got the trifecta ^_^

Update: There would have been more chance of winning lotto,than playing the same coach in 3 different leagues on the same weekend. Not a good weekend for your namesake (Christian name) either. He got belted.

lol - even if you win 15-0 you only get 1 win for the round which leaves you on 7 wins - at best you can finish 12th if eth loses.

In any case I believe there is finals for the bottom 8 (consolation finals are listed on the link above the ladder)

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle

    The Demons were blown out of the water and were absolutely embarrassing against the Fremantle Dockers in Alice Springs ultimately going down by 92 points and getting bundled out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.
