I have no idea why Geelong are favourites.

We pantsed them. North pantsed them. Selwood missing tomorrow. Bulldogs on a roll.

    I tipped the Dogs as well...can't see Geelong winning it, really.

    So Joe the goose couldn't miss last week and was kicking them from outside 50. But last night he couldn't get this through.http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/how-did-joe-daniher-miss-this-goal/story-fndv8gad-1227446412857

    His celebrating goals like theres no tomorrow really annoys me for some reason.

    Because at Essendon for many players there will be no tomorrow post-WADA.

    Joe will have free reign of the forward line but no players to kick it to him, once WADA get the job done.

    Geelong winning today puts them in the 8. How is that even possible? They're so average. I guess that's a sign that, after about 3 or 4 teams, the rest of the competition is even but mediocre.

    Ablett 16 tackles!!!!! Almost a quarter left.

    Must have finally gotten over his encounter with Jack Viney.

    We beat them, at home.

    BUT then we lost to Saints and Dons.

    [censored] we are frustrating.

    I think Viney has driven him completely mad....."That bloody Jack Viney! If it wasnt for him tackling me, i could have played all season!!"

    Daniher now officially on the protected species list at Umpire HQ.

    Disgusting, pathetic, soft, [censored] [censored] free kick. All of one pinky finger on his back and he gets a free kick right in front of goal.

    Meanwhile, forwards run at the ball and get held, pushed, shoved and bent over right in front of goal and the umpires do nothing. They are murdering this game, not the coaches.

    LOL

    Brown's having BOTH arms held by two Bombers defenders while going for the ball and the umpires don't call a free kick. Pathetic, laughable, unbelievable frankly.

    Heed Gil's words of wisdom in his press conference today. "We need Essendon back being strong and winning games."

    Says it all, really.

    Gil is an absolute disgrace as a CEO of a competition saying that one particular team needs to be winning.

    So unprofessional if him.

    Frankly should be a sacking offence.

    15 goals 26 behinds in perfect conditions- unbelievable at Doglands.

    Cloke being out for the next few weeks is going to hurt them.

    He will prob be back for the Melb game and kick 9.0

    I know everyone says it a lot, about umpiring... but that display against West Coast is the most obvious case of umpire favouritism to get a team over the line that I've ever seen. Obvious goal bafflingly called a poster by the goal umpire and corrected in the ensuing review, while a questionable "touched" call on the line isn't even reviewed (personally I think it was a goal). LeCras kicks the ball legitimately and it's a free against for "kicking above the knee". Replay shows a perfectly legal kick.

    Final count was 24-8 free kicks in Collingwood's favour. Shouldn't be surprised but it's getting to a point where you genuinely wonder about the integrity of the game itself (as if we would be surprised though). Almost every 50/50 call went in the Pies favour and the umpires still picked out nothing frees to help them.

    The only thing he's gotten right was how he handled the tragic passing of Phil Walsh.

    Paying them more isn't going to reduce human error

    They're still going to blink at the wrong time, have players move in their line of view, or misjudge the power behind a push or shove

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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.
