Boring season unfolding.

Only 3 can win it.....Freo, Hawthorn or Swans....

Having watched the Eagles game tonight, I'm not so sure.

The Cats aren't contenders, but they are no mugs. They've dished it up to a few sides. The Eagles had 40 scoring shots to 14. It was an annihilation. And that is being 6 or 7 players short of their best side.

They're not without a real chance.

West Coast are very much a confidence team. Playing at home this year they are going to be hard to beat with most teams struggling to compete with them. I would question though when they are on the road or come up against a well drilled team like Sydney, Freo, Hawthorn or a fast team like the Dogs. To me their midfield is their weakest link and where they lack depth. Still expect them to finish top 4 or close to it.

Your right West Coast dominated as they won the stoppages and worked hard to maintain their press. The Cats really struggled to get the ball into their half.

Maybe....it would depend on which end of the draw they fall into, especially if they get two home finals.

Cats have lost their invincibility.

NicNat: 17 disp, 2 marks, 2 goals. In a team that's second on the ladder. Meh.....

Just proves stats mean nothing

One of them contests hard, lays big tackles, gets the ball moving forward at stoppages, gives his teammates first use, creates space at the contest and uses his speed to advantage

The other is Jack Watts

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    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
