We beat the Crows over there.

The brilliant Pies, so good they can' t pick a whole lot of stars, get beaten by 4 goals, though big Tex was a liability!

You think so?

i thought Tex was fantastic. Very mobile and gave them a great target/option in the 50 and up the ground. Didn't snag any but added a lot of other things.

We played with heart and spirit over there, we are still learning to play like that every week. At the moment it comes and goes in patches.

Adelaide and Collingwood are both better sides than us, but can be beaten with determination and commitment to the team, style of play and game-plan.

 

We beat Adelaide who beat Collingwood, who beat Essendon, who beat North Melbourne, who beat .................................. PORT ADELAIDE...... Who beat ......... GEELONG who beat HAWTHORN!!!!!

Straight to the grand final for us!!!!!!!

We got belted by Meth Coast who lost to Carlton but belted GWS who beat us.

Every game is different

Me too mate, loved that he got under the skin of a few pies as well.

Would have him at the dees in a heartbeat. Please try to at least to "tempt him" MFC. A crack at it is better than no crack at all.

Oh.... I thought every game was the same.!!!...

Significantly, it was on the same ground, after Coll. had a week's rest.

I'm not saying it suggests we're premiership favourites , but perhaps the Adelaide effort was more important than we think.

it showed what our minimum standards for success should be, we are yet to consistently reach those for an entire game. The Adelaide game being the exception.

Adelaide had the weeks rest as well, but don't get me wrong I personally think we are significantly better now than we were earlier in the year and I would back us to have beaten Meth Coast (still our worst performance by a long way) in the last 3-4 weeks. They are absolute front runners and loaded with downhill skiers

Thought for a minute that you were talking about the $10,000,000 man.


I really loving this season. Teams are up and down week by week and the ladder 'range' over which surprise wins are happening is more than it has been in years.

I have no idea how we are really going overall, but I went into last week's game thinking we were a shotto win, and I'll go into this week's game thinking the same.

And the disappointment of round 1 is being steadily eased each week, as it feels like St Kilda have gone backwards since then while we have made progress.

we lost to GWS, St Kilda and Bulldogs

hope that answers your question

We could easily have 4-5 wins

Saints,gws , gc and the doggies we should have won from.where we were at 3/4 time in those games which would have had us 6-2

Could of, should of but didn't. The facts are we lost to GWS, Bulldogs, WCE, Saints, GCS and Sydney, three of those teams will be in the bottom 5 with us and Brisbane, two will finish in that 7-12 area on the ladder and one is a top 6 team. Adelaide is another team that will be around 7-12 on the ladder.

I think over the next 8 weeks we get a true indication on if our team has improved we have a run now of teams that are looking to finish in the top 8, Richmond, Port, Collingwood, Essendon, North, Bulldogs, Fremantle, Geelong then Port again. The bulldogs are the only team that definately won't play finals footy, Essendon, Richmond and north will be like WCE 7-12.

You don't expect to win many over the next 8 weeks, we just can't get blown away.

I'd be stoked with winning 2 of those games and been right in the rest it's vital we don't get destroyed

Except Richmond who will finish 9th

 

This season I care less about beating bottom sides then I do challenging good sides. No point beating Brisbane if we get done by 100 points v Hawthorn. That said Id be happy with a few wins against any side as long as the difference btw our bet and worse continues to improve.

Tex was very good.

And how bad was Swan's 2nd half. Carrying an injury or is he Gaaaaawwwwwnnn?

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
