Its round 22 and what a joy this is to see Demonland posters arguing about how much we need to win by to make up % to make the finals , instead of arguing about why we are still such a bad club we aft

Hawks were two games clear on top before they ran into the Red and Blue machine. We may have ended their reign.

Really feel for the kid. I have no idea what went wrong with Toumpas, but ultimately nobody has won out of the situation. I wish he'd been the player we hoped, but it is what it is. All the best for h

St Kilda's brand doesn't work away from Etihad against half decent opposition. It's high pressure, high intensity, but it's the sort of brand that has very little to it and won't stand up in finals either. They don't have enough contested ball beasts in the middle.

Agree. Saints wins games on pure effort. They won't do any damage in finals without more talent in the middle. forward line looks good though.

I reckon their spine is looking pretty impressive, but Stevens, Armitage... Acres? Billings? Ross? Gresham? It's not a group that comes anywhere near ours, the Dogs or GWS' midfield group.

Not going for Port and I couldn't give a rats about them, but they're still making me groan and swear with some of the errors, e.g. the Westhoff spilt mark, Trengove kicking it to nobody.  

They are mindbogglingly bad, and Westhoff is having the worst game I've seen him play (personified by that kick for goal).

Not to mention 10 minutes ago when he burned his teammate running open into the goalsquare (only to spray his kick for goal) and 5 minutes ago when he spoiled a ball rather than marked it, leading straight to an Adelaide goal.

Hawthorn look beatable, West Coast look beatable, Sydney look beatable, Geelong look beatable, Western Bulldogs look beatable, GWS look beatable, and now Adelaide look beatable.

Are you forgetting someone?

It's funny. It's almost as if they all just want to get to September uninjured and have switched off a little.

Amazing. 17,000 Collingwood fans tonight. If it was Melbourne everyone would be up in arms. The lack of crowds for these 'big' Victorian based sides over the last 2-3 years has been overt.

Yep that is a stinker of a crowd and tells you right now how unhappy pies fans have been this season. They are just no interested anymore. 

So Howe took a few hangers did he? Well that's nice.

I turned over from the Showdown for 2 minutes and Howe took a regulation mark. The commentators couldn't control themselves, wetting their chairs with excitement. Just the usual brain-cell killing dribble from Seven's Saturday night commentary team.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
