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.

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"

Reply -

"Sure thing Roosy, gimme 5 minutes."

Looking increasingly likely that only the victor of Melbourne/Port will remain in the finals race. Please don't [censored] this up, Dees! Fire up!

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.

There is the argument for wanting to play teams in any predicament, but surely it's better if the Tiges beat Geelong and the r23 game has no bearing on top 4 or for them losing a 5/6 home final. Go Tiges.

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.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
