Would love for the Saints to knock off the Weagles. Biggest down-hill skiers in the comp at the moment, with the biggest flat-track bully in the league in Kennedy. Both have good games against weak op

I care because the AFL have handed them a free ride at the expense of the old clubs which were unfortunate enough to be near the bottom in recent years and which may within a few years eliminate the c

Chip giving Franklin a hiding. Kept him to 4 possies 1 mark no score. I bet the AFL are now thinking that they should have put this match on last night instead of tonight.

Meanwhile in Perth the dockers are going baout there business leading nth by 40 points.

What an amazing game SS v H. Watching on TV what impressed me most - glad to see a lot more down the ground views - was the continuing run and run and run when players of both sides did not have the ball...and did I say run and run. Saw just a bit of it round 1 but so rare from MFC teams over the years. Hope they were watching.

We are 2000 light years away from playing footy like tonight

It is depressing to say that but i have downed a bottle of Shiraz!!

True, but some posters continue to defend some of crap some of our players serve up. Trade them this year or be stuck with them.

Hawks had more to lose last night as now they are 2 games behind Syd.

An early hold on 2nd spot of the final ladder was at stake.

It means the Hawks won't be able to rest/rotate their aging players later in the season.

That has been a vital part of their strategy in the last 2 premiership wins.

Good chance they will finish 2nd/3rd but which way round?

It will probably come down to percentage.

Neither wants to finish 4th as it is off to Freo for their first final.

Given the current ladder if Hawks don't finish top 2 their 1st final will be interstate.

It will be a must win final as they will need the weeks rest for their aging team.

So, a lot more at stake for the Hawks last night than first meets the eye.

They may well rue last night's inaccurate kicking, come season's end.

Their rematch in rnd 16 will be a beauty.

It maybe one of the few highlights to come given how one sided most games are.

My $15 multi is still live. Tipped the first 8. Got port.

Did you lay-off on Richmond, or better still cash out with one leg to go?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
