Believe me Essendon fans don't want the spoon. They haven't won one in decades. Finishing bottom would hurt them more. 

First pick in draft will more than ease the pain of finishing 18th rather than 17th.

    Just a complete joke. Half their list is suspended for being convicted drug cheats and they get handed pick 1 as consolation prize, when Brisbane clearly need it more and get no players back next year to ease the pain.

    Just a total effing joke. I think my brain may actually explode if O'Meara walks to them via the PSD.

    Emotional conundrum:

    Go for The Filth and see Hawks' finals compromised

    or

    Go for the Hawks so The Filth don't finish 10th above us....

    Go for the Pies to win by less than about 5 goals so their % 'age stays below ours and Hawks don't get the double chance! 

    Win, Win, Win!

    It will be incredibly sad if we end up 12th after being 9th a week ago :(!!

    At the moment the Pies are still below us.

    True. Pies by 1 point with a goal after the siren

    Our 100+ loss and losing to Carlton to the end of the season has brought us that ridiculous gift. Neither should have happened. We've been clearly better than the pies this season but could finish below them. 

    Man i'm p!ssed at the players for finishing the year with such a disgraceful performance. 

    On your choice, I still want pies to win. Hopefully they only win by a point though. But seeing Hawks not win the premiership trumps a little pride for our ladder position.

    Yeah I don't see the Pies getting above us by 2%, but it would be amazing to see Hawthorn finish outside the top 4.

    Speaking of percentage, it's annoying how easy it is to improve your percentage with a few goals, yet Brisbane's percentage actually went UP today after losing by 50+ points.

    the margin is more than 5 goals......more like 8-9 goals, so i think 11th is safe

    Are Essendon barracking for Collingwood so they get pick 26 for Hibberd instead of 27? :P Nah mate, we're all united in our hatred for Hawthorn

    with academy/father-son picks the pick 26 will slide anyway

    Hawthorn still gets a fair run with the umps.

    of course - it's not like #freekickhawthorn is a myth!

    What was it that Lake or Lewis said? They put the 3 umpires names and pictures up on the board every game and some of the players say 'hello Ray, how's it going?' etc. I think he said they do everything they can to get an edge.

  • Quote

    Seriously, that last three minutes of umpiring was so pro Hawthorn that it was laughable

  • Quote

    Worth acknowleging Matthew Pavlich's achievement.  Last game today.  Only the 3rd player to play 250 games and kick 700 goals.  Not bad for someone who started as a defender.

    Has been a loyal servant of his club thru dark times.   His teammates might just pull a rabbit out of a hat and win the game for him!

    Mate, they even dress the half time Auskickers up in red and black.

    • 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.

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
