    Everytime I watch north and Richmond in the finales it make me sick because we were a head of them in our rebuild now there both playing finals and we are second last again on our 3rd rebuild.

    We were never ahead of North, they always had the edge on us but we should have been somewhere near or approaching them now.

    The signs have been there for a while. Their senior players have been making mistakes over the last year that show they don't have a lot of time left. Think the Mackie kick, Kelly badly beaten by Thomas early, Bartell ineffective, Enright making mistakes, Taylor not being allowed any space.

    Of the kids Cady started poorly but really got them back into the game late in the first quarter, Duncan is going ok but the others have been unsighted. Murdoch 1 kick in a half of footy, Thurlow 2, Guthrie 2....

    Think you might see more retirements after this game from the Cats.

    Finally it's starting to show that players like Guthrie and Horlin Smith aren't actually any good. As bartel, Johnson, mackie and co ease down the rest look less than stars........fantastic. Go Roos.

    Can't believe Norf are (in all likelihood) going to be in a Prelim.

    Their supporters are going to be insufferable.

    Immense result tonight for North if they get up. It'll only be the third time in 29 semi finals since the AFL introduced the non-costing-Melbourne-a-premiership finals system in 2000 that the team from the bottom half of the top 8 has won through to the prelim.

    I just get the feeling that *if* Bruce McAveney was ever to curse live on air it would be to scream "Fark yeah" after a Geelong goal.

    But would we have beaten The Doggies or Sydney in the preliminary in 1998?

    Let's draft Joel Selwood, he clearly seems unhappy at the Cats tonight

    How did Swallow have prior opportunity? ? F me umpiring and commentating is poor.

    Good decision, he put his head down into the player coming the other way. Not only dangerous but a free kick every day of the week.

    They're ok but you can't replace champions a few are gone and a few are coming to the end. It will take a big q from Bartel, Kelly and Taylor to get the Cats out of this tonight. Do they have one last effort in them?

    Disagree he had 0 prior duck or not.

    Looking more likely that Geelong's season will be over in half an hour an Frawley can finally end speculation and leave as suspected

    U could add Selwood to that too dees.

    Funny how when it doesn't go his way he has a hissy fit!

    It wasn't a duck he charged the oncoming player with and put his head down as a battering ram. Free kick.

    Again disagree, you still need prior opp to dispose of the ball, he had 0. Wrong call.

    North are starting to look a bit unhinged.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
