    Never change Freo. Long may you continue to fail when excepted to win and win when expected to lose. Bless you, you hideously boring team. 

    Great weekend of results for us, except North losing. But what else can you expect from those [censored]?! Will hate forever.

    The North result is debatable.  The only really bad one was bloody Richmond not beating GWS.

    If we had just gotten a win against garbage teams Port or St Kilda we would be in such a great position.

    No point crying over spilt milk though.  Bring on the Cats.

    Well that round couldn't have gone much better, barring an Essendon and Giants loss. Woo!

    True. Richmond not winning was bad. 

    Sydney winning pushed us down a spot. North winning wouldn’t have changed that.

    We can redeem ourselves by beating one of Geelong, Sydney or West Coast. Plus of course we need to beat GC and take care of Adelaide.

    North/Sydney result matters depending on whether we need the result to make top 4 or 8.

    yep, and as I've posted earlier, I'm risk averse.  If we make the finals outside the top 4, the season will be a success. If we don't make the 8 there will be wrist slitting all round.

    Port and Collingwood lose next week and we win we will be 4th. Lose and we are just surviving in the 8.

    Based on a few ladder predictors I've done with conservative results if we lose the next 2 games we could be sitting 10th.

    Well we had better not lose then  -  simple really.

    True.

    One other good thing about all these upsets is that it will likely take 13 wins to make the 8 now. it was looking like it may take 14 there for a while.

    So if we win 3 of the last 6 we will make it.   And top 4 is there for the taking.

    As as bizarre as it might also seem...just atm...as the final 8 might result according to Squiggle...we could play the Tigers in a prelim before the GF ;) Such a funny game Footy at times

    looking at that ladder is painful. We'd be on top if we had beaten Port, Geelong and Saints !!

    Every time I look at the ladder I think the same. I really feel that the best is yet to come and many will be surprised.

    Wow the pies dropped to 5th after there loss but have got back up to 3rd. Next week there are some important games. Us v Geelong, Collingwood v Nth and Port v GWS. Cannot stress the importance of us winning next week to get the 2 game break on the cats and hopefully collingwood lose to nth so we can climb a spot. But yeah you think if only we beat at least stkilda like we should have we'd be 3rd. 

    Anyone else get this scary feeling our finals could come down to r23 against the giants when of course they will be at full strength then.

    If we can't beat Top 8 teams do we really deserve to make the finals?

    No

    Strangely the tenet of many a post.

    Nope. As it is I think we will get bundled out week 1 (unless we make top 4 which is very unlikely). Gotta take a scalp.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
