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

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
