    Watching the dogs v north game and Seeing th Bont made me ask did we have the chance to draft him. 

    Evidently we did if we had not have done the Dom and Salem thing.

    With benefit of hindsight, what would we do now? What we did? Take Kelly? Take the Bont?

    For mine, we do what we did. I say this in the hope that Christian gets over his poor run of luck and is that classy player we need, Yze style!

    108 point lead to the Crows at 3/4 time.

    Leppa's farewell tour of Australia continues on.

    How that bloke still has a job is a mystery to me.  So many better options out there.

    Voss, Leppa......

    For sure their next coach will be Akermanis, Simon Black or Matthew Lappin.

    A few rubbish low scores this week, the week after Roos said teams are getting tired and the footy gets a bit uglier. 

    Meanwhile the youngest team we've put out beat the reigning premier and posted the 2nd highest score of the round thius far. 

    Getting too easy this caper.

    With an average of 196 games of experience or something. Laughable.

    Poor sportsmanship on his part I thought, especially when he said 'they were off a little and we were on a little'. 

    Anyone else would say they were beaten by a better side, on the day.

    Can't barrack for the them but hope Carlton wins so we can stay ahead of Saints on the ladder! 

    Would be great to finish above them at 9th or 10th...a real springboard for 2017.

    Bit of a percentage booster for the Aints..

    Carlton are a rabble.  Their game plan is okay against some teams but their list is terrible.  Again, I have no idea why the media talks them up.  They're not a good football side.

    Why aren't the Drug Cheats playing down at Geelong? This should be their 186, instead they're playing in Melbourne.

    Further, we all know how depleted Essendon are, but it'll be interesting to see if Worsfold still has it next year.

    When the fixture was done the CAS result hadn't been handed down.

    However, this was the year to send Carlton down the highway, after their disaster last year. I'd be sending them there next year. It's only fair. Instead, Carlton get saved whilst the Dogs, finalists last year, have to go down there.

    I'd love to see Carlton and/or Richmond playing in Geelong next year. It's time, and it's fair.

    Nigel ? Both from Chiltern, but Matthew played for the Blues and Saints.

    Was just reading this: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-08-06/forget-fourthorn-swans-set-to-soar and 15 of 18 coaches thought that Ess can make the finals next year.

    The media view is that the returning 12 will automatically lift them back into contention in  2017 and it seems most coaches share that view.  But they don't have a decent ruckman, their key forward is a youngster, no forward line to speak of, Hurley is a swingman but can't play both ends of the ground, they have only a handful of on-ballers etc.

    Even when some or all the12 come back they will need to settle into the team, get their touch back, learn game plan etc.  I think teams can cope with one or two players coming back after a year out but not with 6-12!

    I see them being several years away from playing finals but obviously I'm missing something the coaches can see.

    Lions need to bite the bullet and move Leppa on right away and start the search for a replacement, his results have been Neeld-like and their list is better than ours was when Roos took over.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
