The split round is already proving to upset more than just your weekend.

With Carlton beating North last night, and prematurely locking in St Kilda over Freo, there is a genuine possibility we could finish on the bottom of the ladder.

Will be an interesting an interesting to see how Brisbane fare against against Gold Coast.

One thing is for certain; St Kilda's case for a PP just got harder!

So why can't we beat North like the other crap teams ?!

Bitter but optimistic

It would be different if he'd had a full preseason.

And we beat Adelaide on their home ground and Adelaide belted GWS, we beat Richmond who beat GWS and Saints Don't send yourself over the edge trying to compare results

I still think we have enough about us to roll both the Lions and GWS, but you're right in saying that with games like these finishing on the bottom is not out of the question.

We might upset a tired Port?

The optimist in me says we can.

The eternal Melbourne supporter in me is getting angry because GWS will probably pull something out of the bag against the Cats... and then we are the only team not to pull off an upset and get done by 10 goals, thus ruining my weekend and not joining in the 'upsets'.

Makes you wonder why the saints haven't at any point shown form anything close to this, if they played like this all year they would have a lot more wins

The pessimist in me says that just as the Saints were playing for Lenny today, Port will be playing for Cassisi tomorrow.

Fairly disrespectful from Port as well. Not prepared to play him unless they're expecting an easy kill.

I can understand it though - they are playing for a Top 4 spot, playing him against us should be ok as it won't hurt them too much. Playing him against a Hawthorn for example would hurt them, theoretically.

Sylvia 7 possessions and 24 dream team points!

Poor Sylv......what a lost soul.

His influence is starting to have an effect at Fremantle.

Has he played his last AFL game? I would think at least for this year he has...

7 very uninspiring Col possessions. "X" Factor written all over them...

Wouldn't it be seriously ironic if Roos guided us into last place despite the tangible improvement between rounds 4-15 and the major praise heaped on the man.

A win against either Brisbane or GWS OR if Saints fail to win another game should see us avoid the spoon.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
