I said the same thing about One Direction.

 

And yet you attended every concert along the Eastern seaboard.

    I have a Harry Styles tattoo across my chest which i now regret.

    Nobody in the tattoo parlour warned me off it.

    They went silent actually.

    If North does end up losing, it really opens the door not just for Port, but for us, Collingwood and St Kilda too. Collingwood's draw is tough but if they can beat GWS on the road they can beat a lot of teams. St Kilda's draw, though I do not rate them at all, is easy (they still have us, North, Carlton, Richmond and Brisbane, which can get them to 12 wins).

    I still think North will hold onto 8th but it would be nice to re-enliven the back-end of the home and away fixture by having a few clubs' finals chances back in contention.

    That stupid over reaction in the box that the Scott brothers have to umpiring decisions fills me with rage.  I dont wish bad on anyone, but Id love for both of them to disappear, maybe abducted by aliens.  As long as they are gone.

    Explode "Mars Attacks" style

    "Ack Ack"

    I think they will get found out this weekend....their performance last week was on the back of a lot of GWS players learning from their role model Stevie J and finding out that one in a team is more than enough.

    They smashed c/wood in the first 20 mins and then started to lairise...

    Just hate both equally with as much loathing as you can muster.....

    I hate that little rat.

    I think that was just so we don't need to listen to their coach [censored] and moan all week. Great decision.

    North have a tough run home. 

    Our game against Port may determine which of us could challenge the Roos for a spot in the eight...

    Yes, I hate Thomas too. And Harvey, And Buckley, Hodge, and too many others to mention. It would probably be simpler to name those individuals I don't hate.

    I hate Will Anderson

    If we'd beaten North in Round 3, we'd only be 4 premiership points behind them.

    If we'd beaten Essendon, we'd have been equal on premiership points currently.

    If we'd won tomorrow's game, we'd have leapfrogged them into the 8.

    But who needs ifs!

    [censored] Luke Darcy  -  "Brodie Grundy had 26 possessions last week , the most by any ruckman this season"

     

    Except that Max Gawn had 27 vs Collingwood in a BOG performance vs Brodie Grundy.

    • 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.
