Deflate St Kilda and not be the only team to lose to Essendon.

Did you ever pee in your own jeans and then spill a drink on yourself publicly soon after to deflect unwanted questioning?

Only two times and one of them was a number two.

Thank you for your refreshing honesty.

Did you "fudge" the number two with a curry?

It was a curry that caused it.

I'm watching a nostalgic birthday party for Play School.

Lorraine Bayley (who was in everything from 1970-1990) was just relaying the time they bought an Elephant in to the room.

She commented on how huge it was.This was a revelation for me.

I'm surprised she even wanted to discuss it.


Well, Wet Toast are now officially out of reach, but North continue to slump.

Next three games are Port Adelaide, Collingwood and St Kilda. Unpredictable, but on current form...

Then their last four games are Bulldogs, Hawks, Swans and Giants. Zero wins there?

It is conceivable we could pass North with just 4 wins out of the 7 remaining games. Saints, Suns, Blues and an 8-pointer v Port would do it!

 

Bizarre season. Top 7 could all be on 15+ wins, then 8th on 11.

 

If anyone out of the 8 is going to sneak in, it is going to be at North's expense. West Coast's draw is too easy and the other 6 are too good to slip out. 

I am confident it won't happen though. North should win two of its next three (Port, Collingwood and St Kilda) which makes the magic number 12. Port hasn't beaten anyone in the top 8, we are a strong chance to drop the St Kilda game and even if we win it we would have to win two of Port, Hawthorn, Geelong and West Coast. St Kilda isn't good enough whilst Collingwood is very up and down and has a tough draw (they'd need to win three out of Adelaide, NM, West Coast, WB and Hawthorn and also beat Richmond and Gold Coast).

I would love us to get to 11 wins, even without being enough for top 8, as that would involve at least one win over Port (away), Hawthorn, Geelong and West Coast (away).

To overtake North would be as good as to make finals. God I hate North. Does anyone know someone who supports them and isn't an absolute [censored]?! 

If only we beat them earlier this year... So close!

If you've met a North supporter then you have found a needle in a haystack is what you've done.

Did anyone watch the Bulldogs v Tigers?

Late in the game Cameron Ling talked about once a player bounced the ball/touched the ball on the ground the period of "prior opportunity" was reset, has this always been a rule? It was in relation to Dustin Martin gaining possession then going for a run, having a bounce then immediately getting tackled. I've never heard of it and thought if someone's gone for a run they've obviously has prior.

I think the 7 team need the umps adviser to give them a session on the rules....

They really have no idea, to the point of embarrassing themselves.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
