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.

    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"

    "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.

    You dont reckon the bombers are having a crack today because the lions won yesterday and a win still won't get them off the bottom and pick 1

    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 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...

    A good weekend for MFC. Not only a win and still in finals contention, but thanks to Gold Coast, they have now avoided the humiliation of being the only team to have lost to Essendon this year.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
