I wonder if he will cop criticism like clarry, greenwood went the bump his elbow hit him in shoulder then slid up, Merrett through his head back like he had been hit by a train 

Difference is McKenzie was cleared for insufficient contact whereas Greenwood is looking at a couple of weeks no doubt.

Carlton and Collingwood both on 5 wins. We owe it to the league to ensure it stays that way. Must win tomorrow then get Watts and Tyson back vs Adelaide. Need to go into that game with 9 wins.

DemonOx - I do feel that way towards Howe, who sought a transfer to the Filth, to taste success.

Agree with doc roet - I feel for Dunny too.  Was always a tryer for us and never a show pony.  Just didn't / wouldn't / couldn't fit in to our new game plan.

I reckon posters who are calling for Walker to be suspended are only doing it because we play Adelaide next week.

He was shepherding, completely within the rules. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Essendon have a reasonable run home .....

6 games against teams outside the 8 and Adelaide

Meanwhile they lost to Brisbane last week.

Having said that, I'm concerned about their draw and they're only one win behind us if we lose tomorrow. They will be putting a lot more pressure on us for a top 8 spot than the Dogs, I reckon.

Hawthorn effectively lost but fixed their percentage...

But they can only drop one more and they have Geelong, Freo away, and Sydney in the next three weeks...

They beat Adelaide in Adelaide two weeks ago and drew with GWS today. With no Birchall, Frawley, Gibson, O'Meara, Puopolo, Rioli or Stratton either. IMO they're capable of doing it, though I think ultimately they'll fall short.

Sydney, Essendon and Hawthorn are all going to push the top 8 and if we drop tomorrow's game we are going to feel that pressure as much as any other top 8 club.

I think the plan should be to beat Carlton tomoz.

I thought his head snapped back after an elbow to the jaw. Different angle showed it better and less likely to be a dive. greenwood will be having a holiday.

GWS v Swans next week .... should be a big game

On at the same time as we are playing in Darwin

 

Ok... now for the big question the answer to which depends upon your degree of optimism re the Dees.....

Saints or Toiges

I'm hoping for the Saints ... I want that fourth spot !!

Really not sure who to barrack for... Go for the Saints & we win tomorrow & Port lose we could be 4th by rounds end. Saints win & we lose then west coast win we are out of the 8.. My god its tight, and tomorrow either way is a must must must win!

now that is a string of possibilities.

You just have to learn to think like a Hawk or Swan supporter... our natural place is on or near to the top of the ladder

Go Saints

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
