    Given it is a six-day break for them afer the Darwin game, it would also put a large dent in the post-Darwin effect theory ...

    Perhaps it's more a case of we just been plain [censored] for the past 8 years so it wouldn't matter if we came back from Darwin or we played back to back at the G.......

    Geelong playing some lazy footy tonight, plus there are plenty of spuds running around for them.  Cockatoo, Ruggles, Murdoch, McCarthy etc.  Take away a few of the experienced players and they are exposed for the very average players they are.

    I like McCarthy, he shows a bit, he has been alright in their recent losses while alot of there others have been pretty [censored]. He is no star but he is consistent and he puts pressure on. He would get a game over Kennedy or Kent in our side

    Edit: As if on cue he takes a very nice grab

    Hopefully we haven't gone early here Nasher - still a good chance for Freo to fatigue badly in the second half and fully get pantsed. In which case there may some merit to it

    True. Or possibly they are just [censored] like we used to be ... :lol:

    Even if they got flogged - you could never be sure it was fatigue, given how Freo have gone in general this year.

    you reckon? i don't reckon the whole ball was over the line...

     

    besides, a boundary umpire not out of bounds ruling cost the filth a flag, so i'm all for them.

    That angle I saw showed Dangerfield himself entirely outside the boundary, with the ball on the out-of-bounds side of his body.  Unless I've misunderstood physics really badly, it could not possibly have been in.

    He's awesome.  That was totally out of bounds though.

    The boundary umpire couldn't have been in a better position either to call it.

    Titus in good form: Hawthorn finally have a side capable of winning a premiership.

    "Whether they get there this year or not, Hawthorn are on the right track and it's good to see another team challenge for the ultimate prize." 

    I love Titus.  I thought his style of one-liners would get tedious after a while, but after months, it just hasn't.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
