Are we the first team to crack 20 goals in a match this season? Pretty sure we are and could have been close to 30 if we'd kicked straight

    Is an 11 goal win over a cellar dweller good enough?  Nope!  I want Viney to play 65% game-time tomorrow, get 20 effective possies, 2 goals and 8 tackles, and most importantly, to walk off unscathed.  Now that would make mother happy!

    That's what I was getting at.

    I didn't notice him much in the last quarter.

    He was very good in the first half, but played as a mid sweeper type role, so in the last quarter and a half the ball rarely went into our back half so there was little to do. Most of the time it went back it was straight into the arms of one of our guys anyway.

    An absolute mauling by agitated seabass on You Only Live Twice - a nice double bill

    Felt we weren't getting the reward we deserved in the the first half, but was great to see us really put them away. It was a very mature win.

    Really hard to see who might come out for Viney, thought ANB showed why he's so important and why he's been backed in so far. Harmes was great. Tyson played a role that was more mid/defensive sweeper, so wouldn't be a direct swap for Viney unless they moved Brayshaw back to that role, but there's no way you'd do that at the moment. Maybe Vince has a rest and Salem and Tyson spend all their time back, with Viney easing back into the centre.

    Did what we had to do and now look forward to next week. If Hawkins this week was a precedent setter then Curnow is looking at a spell for next week’s match.

    Can you tell me what happened.

    The easiest decision in 2018. Weid out Viney in.

    Contact with the umpire. Will almost certainly get a week based on the Hawkins verdict

    Oh yeah what about Bayley Fritsch...   26 touches and 4 tackles.

    A revelation.  And the Spargo kid is pretty good too.       The MFC talent factory is in full operation folks.

    Pushed the umpire with flat of his hand- not much in it but same force as Hawkins slap away last week which saw him cop a ban.

    3rd. GWS kicked 20 in round 1 vs the Doggies, WC kicked 21 in round 4, against guess who?

    We went backwards with a minute to go because we had a 69 point lead.

    And we almost conceded a goal. We’re better when we move forward.

    The reason it is easy is because the Weird is giving us nothing. Viney on one leg would contribute more. Any other player would give more than 2 kicks and 4 hand passed. Are you suggesting he should stay in the side. If so why? He is clearly not up to top level football.

    You are almost actively campaigning for this bloke to fail just so you can crow about how you were right.  It's little off, OD.

    The bloke has played in our 3 straight wins and has allowed us to play with greater flexibility with Hogan and T Mac.  We can use them deep forward and through the midfield, and we aren't asking T Mac to ruck.  Weid may not get a heap of it but his presence in the side has been crucial.

    I reckon Tyson and ANB (even after a better game) would be looking over their shoulder with Viney about to return.

    Is there any chance Harmes may get cited for his almost sling tackle on the boundary in the last quarter (I think it was)?  Hopefully not, but very hard to second guess the MRP.

    That is only your opinion and thankfully your not part of the footy department

    What about the constant replays and coverage of Dew sitting on the bench during live play. Pathetic!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
