Well it was nice watching Geelong get thumped, but makes it even more important for us to win tomorrow. Top 4 is probably out of reach now due to our lower percentage, but we need to make sure we come home strong to give ourselves a decent run in finals. It would be good to get a final in Melbourne. Would hate for our first final in over a decade to be interstate and get knocked out straight away.

Don't even want to think about the possibility we may tire and miss finals. I'd be livid!

One day at a time, bro. Only way to look at it.

    Could have sworn i saw No 26 for Cats put TWO knees into a swans bloke's back two seconds before half time in a marking contest.

    Would have to have been deliberate, reckless, reportable and dangerous.

    Just saw the stats on AFL Scores. The Cats are killing them according to this, in every department. Yet the Swans are double their score?

    Efficiency. The Swans had 22 possessions after about 6 mins and 4 goals 2 pts on the board.. quite unbelievable

    You have to wonder dont you.....they couldnt win their first 6 games. Sure they had injuries, but these sides know where the business end of the season is. They must just tempo it and play the season accordingly.

    No Dangerfield and Geelong look ordinary.

    I thought Geelong looked ordinary when we played them with Dangerfield.  We would have pummeled them that day had big Max not gone down and we had kicked straight.

    Part of me is actually kind of hoping that the Tigers beat Hawthorn this weekend, just because I hate those arogant Hawks suppoters, their arrogant side and would love to see any faint finals hope for them snuffed out.  Conversely if the Tigers loose, it keeps 4th spot ajar for us, asumming we are good enough to win most/all games from here.

    There are still some average sides in top 4, let alone top 8. Geelong' depth is terrible. Cam Guthrie's little brother looks like he is about 8 years old.

    Scott reckons Papley 'dived' after the Duncan punch!  He is such a sore loser!

    The media are describing it as a 'push' - Duncan's right fist looks closed before and after he hit Duncan. The are softening up the MRP. 

    Hawkins also has a couple of events that might attract MRP attention.

    Lets hope Bartel is not on the MRP this week.  It just highlights another weakness in the MRP - recently retired players should not be there because it is their mates they review and I challenge anyone to stay objective when finals are so close. 

     

    Edit:  Bartel didn't sit on the MRP to decide on Dangerfield so his objectivity hasn't really been tested.

    It should never have to be tested. A perceived conflict of interest is sufficient for someone on a panel/judge to walk away from the case.  Why the AFL has past players on the MRP is totally beyond me.

    Both the Scotts are good at 'copy writing' for the media. Must be a tactic in their DNA

    Agreed...but we know the AFL is a law unto itself with the utmost 'integrity'...:blink:

    Wasn't that only because he was overseas. There are 5 on the panel but last  week 2 were OS on holidays?

    Yes, so his objectivity wasn't tested. 

    He shouldn't sit this week either.  As 'sue' said: conflict of interest.

    One man out and Geelong are kitty litter. We have had top players out for most of the season they have had one for one game and it shows what they are like. Pathetic.

    Essendon have won this game purely on the fact they are fresher because they have played 7 weeks straight in Melbourne.

    Nice one AFL. Makes me wish we took drugs in 2013.

    Bloody Essendon. That sucks.

    I feel fucken nauseous. Druggies into the 8 and will almost certainly play finals .

    Only Melbourne could [censored] over 16 other clubs and hand the drug cheats a finals position.

    I feel sick.

    The only consolation prize now would be Bulldogs beating Brisbane and knocking them back out.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      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.
