Commentators salivating over NicNat. Sure, he hit about a dozen to advantage and was gifted 2 goals by the umps, but similarly, he took ZERO marks and had 12 disposals. Hmmmm........

    He was probably the most influential player in the game tonight though 'Moon'. I think he gets a lot of undeserved wraps but he was good, his tackling pressure and the way he hit the contest really provided WC with a launching pad for the win.

    When he was on ball WC were well on top, when he rested the Tiges came back.

    Still don't rate the Tiges...still can't see them making the 8.

    All jokes aside

    - p#ss poor leadership, gave away a stupid free, plays for frees

    - lots of simple skill errors

    - jury still out on Vickery

    - players dropping their knees/winning the ball in traffic and remaining low in a bid to receive high contact.....led by their captain.

    To their credit they didn't go backwards/sideways and continued to attack but outclassed.

    Eagerly awaiting their rematch with Freo later in the year.

    But yeah, don't rate them.

    Not joking 'Al', I don't rate the Tiges...the only real win they've had is the Freo game and they got them after a winner take all game against Adelaide with Freo due a loss if there is such a thing (and I believe there is).

    Still reckon West Coast will be way up there this September.

    Their defence is not strong enough for them to do damage in September, they leaked too many easy goals tonight that kept the Tiges in it for a lot of the game.

    If they have a bit more luck with injury they will give it a good shake next year.

    Toigs are headcases with too many spuds that pop up when the pressures on.

    Spot on, I agree. Just plays for frees.

    Swallow is hard at it - but a sook. A lot of North's players are sooky... Petrie, Harvey, Swallow. It must be ingrained in their culture.

    The North culture is definitely sooky. Always looking for blame, always putting in Oscar-worthy performances. All influenced by their diva of a coach.

    After the laughable discussion about the Tigers eyeing off top 4 after beating Freo, I was the only voice of dissent amongst my friends saying it was more likely a fluke.

    Lo and behold Freo nearly lost a week later to Gold Coast, and tonight's result reiterated that the Tigers' victory two weeks ago had far more to do with Fremantle hitting a slump than Richmond finding form.

    West coast will be in a prelim courtesy of their amazing draw and the fact they will have a home final as a result of finishing top 4 because their draw is amazing.

    I wasn't having a go RJay, I'm in total agreeance. I put North in the same boat as Richmond. Promise so much but deliver very little. Should either of those sides not make finals or get bundled straight out their coach will/should be feeling the heat and sacked. I've got a feeling Woosha has been offered a job somewhere.

    Whatching NicNat tap work last night makes me realise how important it is to have a good ruckman

    NicNat was taping to an Eagle player and if wasn't to a player it was in there favour.

    Gawn won a lot of the taps last week but a lot of the time is wasn't to a demons player or to our favour.

    Yet we won the clearances and had 108 possessions more than St. Kilda. You can't blame our ruck work for the loss apart from the last bounce when Gawn's tap went into the open and was swooped on by Jacky instead of being buried at the foot of the pack.

    The thing I liked about watching last night's game was Dustin Martin. Three goals and over thirty touches wasn't enough to get Richmond across the line but having a human dynamo like him in your team doesn't hurt. It certainly whets the appetite for the day when one Christian Petracca finally steps onto the field wearing the red and blue.

    Carlton vs Port... please explain

  • Quote

    As fast as Port climbed the ladder they're falling back down it. They're 5-7 and if Geelong beat us they'll be 2 games and a bit of percentage behind. And they've got Sydney in Sydney after the bye, plus games to come against Collingwood, Hawthorn (away) and Fremantle. Put those four down as losses and even if they win the rest they won't get to 12 wins. No one would have fathomed them missing the finals this year.

    Mind you, that decision to take that last mark off Port might be a talking point this week.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
