I'm not too fussed about the MFC implications.  Just thought it was a ripper game, and am punching the sky because I like Geelong as much as a bucket of hot sick.

We've tread on this banana peel before. Let's just win against St Kilda before the sky punching.

Starting this thread early as it's shaping for a big weekend ladder wise and for the Dees. Who do we want to win these crunch games

Rich v Syd (THURS)

- I hope Tigers win, we don't want any interstate teams in the top 4.✔️✔️

WB v Cats

- Cats are definitely not playing their best this year and Dogs played OK v North and you don't know what they'll bring. A Dogs win hopefully✔️✔️

Carl v Port

- Carlton played well yesterday and Port aren't as good as people reckon, they actually played awful v Dees and we still found a way to lose. Upset highly unlikely but game is at the MCG.

Adel v WCE

- Can the Crows at home upset a vulnerable WCE?

GC v Coll

- Collingwood win easily

GWS v Haw

- Hoping GWS win, Hawks are zoning in on a top 8 finish

Melb v STK

- We need to win and win big, keep that percentage up, 50+ win would be nice

Ess v North

- I think Bombers will win this, North doing their usual start the season well and folding this year I'd say, Ess win helps us.

Are the Dogs permitted 15 players on the mark? If not, could the ump give another kick with a 50m penalty?

I wondered that too.  Just assumed that it's fine so long as none of them encroached on the mark.  Can't see why it would be disallowed - in normal play you'd only be disadvantaging yourself by having your whole team on the mark.

Huge win by the Dogs and great for us! 

I've talked him up on here earlier in the year, but Ed Richards looks like a star in the making. He's just got footy smarts, pace, skill, intensity and is a joy to watch play. Great get by the Dogs pulling the trigger on him slightly earlier than expected last draft.

As long as none of them encroach over the mark it's surely ok. But the umpires are inclined to make it up on the run and just pay some nonsensical penalty. Luckily they didn't.

Classless celebration by the dogs, but not surprising 

Almost 10 years since they’ve beaten them - unless I’m missing something?

Why were we denied vision of Chris Scott on the final siren ??? That would have been almost as entertaining as seeing Taylor stuff up the attempt on goal.

It asks me to log in?

As I said it is public, seems a little precious to not allow it in here. 

I'm just wondering why anyone would want to read that kind of vulgarity.  It's just gross and clearly not appropriate, for this forum, or any forum.  It's the first time I've ever heard of any dope football commentator being sacked on the spot, and we all know how low the bar is for commentary quality in our sport, so I'm a bit surprised you're surprised I don't want the comments on here.

Seriously.  It will take anyone two seconds for anyone to Google it if they desperately need to know what was said. I even told you exactly where to look.  There is absolutely zero need for someone who comes in here to chat about the awesome game that just happens to unwittingly stumble upon Hall's revolting comment.

Only one on the mark 'Moon', the other 14 were behind it otherwise it would have been a 50m penalty.

He left the box when Taylor took the mark- punching the air in celebration.

On the replay, it looked like Bontempelli was marginally in front of Rourke to me.

Loving watching this press conference. He's actually relatively well behaved in this.

I've got to confess, I don't hate hearing him talk; he's always usually pretty rational, balanced and considered.  It's just the way he carries on like a toss in the box that irks me.

Channel 7 just refused to show it, despite showing every other angle (including Beveridge's reaction for the last 45 seconds of the match). [censored] hopeless broadcaster. Everyone wants to see that [censored] Scott go from elation to misery!

His arrogance and ego does split through sometimes, but he reminds me of me haha. Absolute white line fever and then can have a very rational discussion in the aftermath.

To celebrate like that after a missed shot in a HOME AND AWAY GAME is just childish and pathetic 

They thought they'd lost mate.  Come on, of course they were going to carry on like pork chops in that kind of win.  Their reaction reflected how I felt for them about it.

That's because he didn't watch it. Just said so in the presser, so he moved out of sight of the cameras.

Have you considered the fact they lost the game last week by a small margin after being in front as well and have had a horrible year, plus all the pressure of the much talked about post premiership drop off?

I’m not calling these excuses but they all add up. You want footy players to be Robots?

Totally understand we want players to be professionals - but these kids live it Day in and out. Good time to let it all out after a game.

They reminded me of how we used to carry on like a bunch of easily satisfied fool when we we won our four games of the year.... high fives all round

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
