Ha, nice one. All three have had great stories/careers but it's crunch time for Hoarse come years end. They haven't got the mix of inside/outside quite right.

If the Swans pick up for arguments sake Yarran, recycle a tall defender, and genuine crumbing small plus they will snavel another quality mid through the academy they're away again. They can afford to loose an inside mid and a top end draft pick.

    Fair call, there was a ready made defender who may go 5-10 in the draft , I mentioned his name a week or so ago( just can't think of it now). Can they trade established player for pick?

    Not sure of all the details, except they certainly cannot trade a big name player in.

    The should take the AFL to court

    Giants vs the Druggies. I'm not sure which side I want to fail more. Fortunately it's an ugly low-scoring game, so they both look pretty crap right now. You'd back us to beat either side based on this.

    Scully subbed off with a shoulder injury. Not that we hold any ill-feeling towards the lad or anything.

    Edit: He had 5 touches to 3/4 time! Worth every cent!

    Should be a good run to the finals. North, Richmond, Geelong, Adelaide and now GWS will all be just one win apart with four games to play.

    GWS need to beat Port next week, but if they can get that win, and assuming they beat Carlton at home in Round 22, they could well be playing for a finals spot when they play us in the last round. Would make the game that much more interesting if so.

    Geelong and Adelaide may well be playing off in Round 23 for the other finals spot, the way things are going.

    And the strange thing about that would also be what happened the last time they were due to play. Would be extra cruel if Adelaide missed out by half a game. I think they'll make it, though.

    A bit like Goddard moving from the Saints to the Druggies searching for the ultimate prize :-))

    I love what the Dogs are doing and I think they'll be too good for us at Etihad, but I've just had a look at their draw.

    They haven't beaten a top 8 side since Round 5. In fact, they even haven't played a side in the top 8 since Round 9. Since they bye they've played Geelong, who weren't in the 8 at the time, and otherwise have played 7 of the bottom 8, with the 8th side (us) to come this week. That's a ridiculously soft draw.

    I noticed that as well tu...it just shows how ordinary all but the top 4 teams are this year.

    I guess they can only beat who they play and they have done that very well.

    Such is the good fortune when a bottom 6 side has talent and hits form.

    Port were bottom 6 and had a 'soft' draw in Hinkley's first year. They also made the most of the opportunity.

    It is a fabulous time to build belief and confidence that comes from winning regularly.

    Of course the following year the draw is harder but some of that 'winning culture' carries over.

    Next year will be our opportunity to take advantage of a bottom 6 draw!

    Learn to win! Then, learn to 'put teams to the sword'!

    • 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.
