    It's all set up perfectly for us, as long as we can get the 3 wins..... The remaining Norf opponents will still be relying on a good percentage to pick up their best final ladder position. They'll both be trying to towel the Roos up big time.

    as I have been saying in other posts that essendon and the west coast losses will come back to bite us. But yes you wouldn't have wanted to play Hawthorn this week, I think Clarko would have got them going. 

    But it would be nice to see the saints beat sydney just to put the extra pressure on nth and be only 1 game behind. Obviously I'd love to see us sneak in but it would be funny to see nth drop out whoever replaces them. Brad looked a shattered man on the news tonight. 

     Wow can't believe brisbane beat carlton. But happy for Leppa, not sure it will save him though.

    Don't want St Kilda to win. They've got Richmond and Brisbane to play and are a game clear of us so they'd make the 8 then regardless if we won all 3 remaining games. We need Saints and North to lose and we need to win it all!

    Geary a late out helps.

    interesting listening to howe post-match on abc - he still hankers to play forward.

     

    he's a natural defender, i don't know why he's got such a bee in his bonnet around playing closer to goal.

    Glory hunter.

    So the Hawks beat Roo's by 39, so is the difference we now need to make now approximately 100 points?

    roughly and over 5 matches

    Yep, exactly.

    North's percentage dropped from 113 to 108.5. Leaving the gap to us (102.5) at just 6 percentage points. So, for shorthand, a neat 100 points worth of for/against difference will do the job.

    With 2 more losses for them and 3 wins for us, average margins of just 20 points per game will sort out percentage.

    Basically, it's just the wins to think about now.

    :roos:

    Amazing finish.

    Luke Shuey should be embarrassed by his ducking. 

    Amazing finish to the Eagles GWS game. NikNat snapped a goal for them to win it in the siren...

  • Quote

    That was an incredible finish to the West Coast game. Never thought in a million years West Coast could get up with such little time left after GWS got that goal.

    Yet I had a feeling, with 8 seconds left, West Coast would score an incredible goal from that throw in. Fantastic to see the Franchise Concessions Giants lose.

  • Quote

    Hell of a finish to that game. Makes me wish even more that we had taken our opportunities against the Eagles over there a few weeks ago.

    Kennedy knocked out.

    Sensational coverage by Fox Footy. We get every stupid stat and theory rammed down our throat every game. Today, Nic Nat kicks a goal from the ruck, on the siren, to win the game and they don't show it again, but interview him and then leave the game.

    Fantastic TV. They should do the olympics and stop the coverage, when each event is at the half way mark.

  • Quote

    that last quarter was almost 40 minutes. So should that wc palyer be suspened for that sling tackle? Isn't that why the rule was bought in to stop a concussion. That was a sling tackle for sure. 

    Anyway everyone will rave about Nic Nat and his game winning performance. I don't care. Give me Maxy anyday.

    Thought the same thing RL. Such a fantastic finish to the game and it was almost a non-event. Really disappointing coverage.

    It was really odd - but I think because the game went so far over in terms of time (40 minute quarter) they had no time to recap before the Swans game.

    It probably screwed their schedule because of the long last quarter, bit out of Fox's control.

    Tonight unfortunately St Kilda are taking it up to Sydney. I don't rate them at all but they will have earned their spot in the finals over us if they can win the next 3 games against all odds.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
