that was a horrible 50 m penalty.  possibly the worst decision of the year.

    Two horrible turnovers will cost the Crows.

    Sydney in the bottom four of the finals just feels like a great white shore side of a sandbar. Would rather them in the top four.

    Make that 3

    Big win for swans, the pressure is well and truly on tigers now if they drop a game will lose top 4

    That incorrect 50 has been the final difference.

    But Crows' kicking at goal I guess was more of the problem

    Even if the Toiges choke twice they won't, sadly, be able to come 9th.

    The crows seemed to lose every contest in the last 5 mins. Even with the ball needing to get a goal to win, looked like they had zero chance with how unstructured and tired they were. I suspect Sydney could have won by 2 or 3 goals if they didn't switch to match saving mode.

    Good result, Adelaide will now have to go hard at the Eagles next week or go into the finals on a losing streak.

    What made it worse was the umpire in control was raising his hands to call play on as Pannel stuffed the call up and gave a 50mtr...

    Swans just too professional ... from our point of view we'll almost certainly avoid them in the first week of the finals if we win out.

    Surely there'll be an inquiry into how the umps allowed Sydney to prevail. They did their darndest to get an Adelaide win yet they stuffed it up. Shame , shame , shame !!!!

    I'm ok with the swans in the top 4 delaying us a Sept meeting for at least another week shall we make it. 

    After tonight's game I honestly think only one of these two or the Giants can win this year.

    Id love to see the cats fall from grace and miss the top 4. Would be gorgeous however it means supporting the filth tomorrow which hurts.

    Praise. I wonder if he knew he'd kick the goal when he was 100m out. 

    The fact is he ran too far and should not have been awarded the goal. Having said that apart from that incident and the Mills 50 in the last quarter the umpiring was so in favour of the crows it wasn't funny. I would hate to play them there in a final.

    Very good result for us.

    Win both our games and we will avoid the Swans week one of finals.

    Richmond lose and we most likely play them..... that would be a dream.

    Not necessarily.

    If port beat the dogs tomorrow, then thump GC next week they could finish 5th and Sydney 6th.

    You still have to wait for the ump to call play on. You can't just tackle the guy because you think he has played on. Ump got it right but it looked awful.

    But what if Port also win their next 2 games while absolutely thumping a rabble in GC. They'll end up with a better percentage than Sydney with the final ladder as follows:

    5) Port

    6) Sydney

    7) Melbourne

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
