John Butcher - 15 touches, 10 marks, 3 goals at 3 quarter time.  He must be turning the... oh, wait.  It's against Brisbane.

Carry on.

12 behinds I assume?

    Watching Brisbane is so much like watching 2013 Melbourne it's scary.

    Yep, and a stark reminder of how far we've come since then.

    If you get beaten by a side that won't play finals on your home deck by 94 points then you're a disgrace.

    Melbourne 2012-13 style disgrace.

    Leppa will be lucky to be coaching at Xavier College next year.

    You're boring.  You've missed the point entirely and also missed the fact that I said, twice, that I was disappointed in the game last week.  Doesn't mean I have to take a dumb stance about it.  

    I've  missed nothing. You just can't deal with truth. . Must be nice in your make believe World, what with all your excuses and explanations.

    Collingwood did what we should have done. There's no reason we shouldn't have beaten West coast, not really 

    Explain, if you can where the ' dumb' applies.

    The Dees are unfortunately a team who choked more than anyone would care admit.

    This comes down often to resilience and coaching.  We are nowhere near where we need to be or ought to be right now.

    You're such a frustrating poster.  We kick straight, we win.  Pies winning today means zilch and has no reflection on us at all.

    For an 'old' poster you sure do post thoughts that seemingly come from a 5 year old with little knowledge of footy.

    But we did not Wiseblood.

    WCE were in front at the end and thay got the 4 points.

    WE DID NOT WIN

    I really don't want St Kilda to play finals but I would love to see Boomer lose his milestone match, especially after spending the whole week talking about how much he loves himself.

    Now that thats off limits, there's still hope that Port can win 3/4, Saints all 4, the Kangas/Dogs lose 3 or 4 or Eagles lose 4. So little to be entertained by this year. trying to find something.

    You seriously want to go to this club, Prestia?

    Hope the money's worth it. :wacko:

    Prestia was never going to go to Richmond, but if there was any doubt, Exhibit A today.

    Sneaky suspicion that the Dorks will get rolled in the finals. I know they've been great (yadi yada) but they're an injury away from unravelling.

    As long as Geelong don't pinch another flag. I have a feeling whoever wins it this year will be a very ordinary winner. There's no real standout team this season. Yes, I know Hawthorn are two games clear on top, but they've played some ordinary footy at times this year.

    Rance is a sniper when things don't go his way, this myth of him being a super guy is well over blown.

    A hypocritical Christian? Never.

    I still think there's a big chance we'll finish ahead of St Kilda.

    I didn't realise Brisbane rested Martin and Schache last night. Very tanky.

    Who goes first - Leppa or Dimma?

    Both at seasons end surely

    After that brilliant convincing win for the Demons,  there would be nothing better to top off the round than seeing Adelaide beat Essendope by 200 points.

    Leigh Matthews or Brendon Gale would have to go first if either of those two were to get the chop this year.

    • 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.
