MOBILE PHONE HACK REVEALS Text message from Paul Roos to John Longmuir during the half-time break of St.Kilda v Sydney - "Yeah, Longsy, we're rolling here, better knock St Kilda out for us"

A lot of the peanuts in the media have overlooked that 3 teams outside the 8 can still make it. Even Derwayne said the best we can finish this year is 9th about twenty times in last week's game. Cluel

Christ if there was a night I wish the Saints would just capitulate, it's tonight. Of course they're taking it up to Sydney and the game's going to be a shootout.

They get such an advantage at Etihad but aren't much chop anywhere else.

I think it's fair to say now that we're the only team outside the top eight that can make it. It's still a tough gig but ...

We're mathematically the only team that can make the eight.  Port are now a game too far behind and St Kilda have an irrecoverable percentage problem.

One less, soft goal free to the Roos, against us and we would be in the 8 today.

GWS' choke was incredible, they had the ball two or three times in that final 60 seconds but couldn't close it out. Steve Johnson going for a kick off the ground instead of putting his head over the ball to win a contested possession didn't help.

Only ourselves to blame, Redleg. If not in the North game then in the West Coast and Essendon games.

If we don't make it this year, I hope those three losses drive us to finals in 2017.

Agree, but what I meant is that one free kick less, was a two game turnaround. They lose 4 points and we get 4 points and we are in.

I wonder how many weeks Harvey will get for his hit on Mitchell. There's no way that can't be a suspension. 

Two would be perfect. :P

I almost tipped Brisbane to beat Carlton tomorrow but then thought of how counter-productive this would be for Leppitsch and his attempt to win a priority pick. Carlton by 104 points. 

Fremantle will lose to Adelaide at Domain Stadium by the same amount of Dockers supporters who will attend the game. 337 points.

Should have backed Bummers today . Two games clear on the bottom. Can afford to win one now. Not tanking though, must get that number 1 draft pick safely in the bag......

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but wouldn't it be funny if Essendon won today and then beat Carlton in Round 23 and end up losing that first pick?

GO BOM--

GO B---

Can't bring myself to do it.

I hope they both fall over with 44 hammies and both teams get relegated to the VFL.

I'm REALLY enjoying the fact at the moment that the big 4 Melbourne clubs (Coll, Ess, Rich, Carl) are the worst four performing Melbourne based clubs on the ladder.

The only thing that would make this even better is if Hawthorn was the fifth worst...

How convenient, Essendon come out and win as soon as they're 2 games clear at the bottom of the ladder. :rolleyes: 

Hard not to think they've been underperforming through winnable games by design. Couldn't be more obvious than Worsfold leaving Rich untagged a few weeks ago, despite it being Coaching 101 for every other team that played Brisbane this year.

Anyway, thank Christ we've been saved the embarrassment of being the only team to lose to them.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
