North Melbourne's forward line will really stretch West Coast's defense.

Won't get there mate...

    No one is talking about the "Bloods culture" tonight.

    I thought they were pretty good considering the injury list...

    North had to fight it out and broke them at the end.

    As I said earlier... I thought they were totally inept. Poor kicking, poor decision making, terrible defence for the most part and nothing happening up forward.

    I predicated that Sydney where a fake top 4 side, rang kb's show hungry for sport with Greg D, just before the finals, and told them so the tigers are pretenders, north were laughing once they new who would be the teams they where going to play in the finals.

    Serves Sydney right they put all their eggs in the one basket, when they signed buddy on that long term deal i knew it would not end well, they went away from the bloods culture, can't help thinking some Sydney players who have taken a pay cut thinking to himself why should i put my body on the line? When million dollar man is having a cry, now i am not making light for mental illness but some will feel that way.

    They were horrible, North slightly less horrible.

    Don't really rate any side bar the top 3...I think it will fall as to the end of season ladder now.

    I hope you are right Rjay. Unfortunately I think the top 3 might reverse with the Dawks knocking over Freo and then the Weagles.

    Am going to love seeing Norf go down by 15 goals plus to the Eagles, hate those flogs.

    Was great to hear the commentators get into them at one stage for their "flopping". Serial offenders.

    A very unusual story where the Bulldogs have asked the AFL to investigate a leak of their game plan for the Elim Final to the Crows: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/western-bulldogs-bring-in-afl-to-investigate-leak-to-adelaide-crows-20150922-gjsmi7.html

    "It is understood defender Michael Talia, whose brother Daniel is the Adelaide full-back, is at the centre of the investigation. Talia, who is out of contract and likely be traded, did not play in the last three games of the season, including the final in question. Fairfax Media understands that the club had been concerned that information - specific to the elimination final - had been passed from younger to older brother."

    Probably very innocent brotherly chat over a drink or the family dinner table.

    Still, pretty dumb especially as they were playing the next weekend in such an important game.

    What part was sensitive?

    What did the Dogs do differently to the rest of the year?

    Both sides didn't defend

    Adelaide kicked more goals...

    That was the Gameplan of both sides

    Not Rocket Science..

    Please may the Shockers win....

    Well if they can't tonight....

    I just can't help think of their earlier encounter is Tassie. Hawks are on the verge of something big.

    I can't believe a team as ordinary as North are in a Prelim. Very poor reflection on the others who didn't make it. Sydney just imploded. I want to see West Coast break some records this weekend.

    Freo are a sneaky chance with the extra week off and playing at home. Important that they get a good start.

    I think this is one of the funniest things about this year...

    David King (early in the season) was going on about how teams...read here Freo, were pacing themselves through the year. They would come out and build a big lead in the first half then coast in the 2nd knowing they had it in the bag. A brilliant strategy said King.

    Now King and the experts see the stats seem to show that Freo can't run out games. So which is it? do they build a lead and coast or do their ageing warriors run out of legs?

    This could well be a case of the stats taken on their own without proper analysis. Freo finished comfortably on top, that's a good stat.

    ...anyway, I think Freo will win well. For them that means by 8 points but don't be surprised if they run away with it for a 2 goal plus win.

    Maybe it is just wishful thinking from me, I'm sick of the Hawks.

    Can't see North getting close to WC.

    Norths first final is tomorrow night.

    The win over Richmond was a formality and the Swans had no Buddy/Reid/Parker/Jack, Jetta was already on the plane and Shaw/Goodes/McVeigh/Richards are/were cooked.

    What's ifs are great but if they faced either Crows/Dogs in week one of the Hawks last week they'd be out. They have stuffed around and overused the ball for the last two weeks. Then after the Swans game they were all getting around each like they'd won a flag. The clubs leaders should of kept it very low key. Considering where they finished last year and their offseason recruiting they have been underwhelming to date.

    If Suns/Giants/Dogs were in Norths position you could say they have achieved but not with North.

    Dockers by 3 points

    Eagles by 78.

    I really hope the Hawks lose tonight.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
