Geelong are a scalp for the MFC until they're not. What would that look like? Win there this week. Beat them in the finals if we play them. Then beat them at the G.

Every win is a scalp to the MFC, after the last 12 years. Which is why the club has absolutely no right to get ahead of itself.Β 

Kardinia Park was the scene of 186, that alone should be well enough motivation for the entire club to be ready and β€œon”

Walker has accepted a week for hit on Thouy.Β 

Gibbs is challenging the one week suspension for a hit that felled Joel Selwood behind play.Β 

Crows play GWS this week so that should put kill off any hope the Crows had of making finals.

Β 

As an aside, Gus relieved he didn't get penalised for his friendly hi-5 with Razor!

Edit:Β  'Big Fez' has correctly advised Crows play Brisbane.

Don't the Crows play Brisbane?

On the days when he's Napoleon Bonaparte, ask him for tips on how to tighten up our defence.

I asked him that very question when he was in his Napolean persona. He suggested he would 'outflank' the oppo big forwards and crush them in a 'pincer movement'.Β He also mentioned artillery but I told him that the AFL had already outlawed it.

Which Selwood did Gibbs hit? Doesn't much matter. They should adopt rules like in ''poison ball' where you get a credit for catching the ball which is 'one in the bag'.

So for example, he should get a one week credit for hitting one Selwood, which can be applied to offsetΒ part of aΒ  future suspension for hitting someone else. On that same theme, if he hits 2 Selwoods, the credit should be synergistic, so he would get a 3 week credit.

Double credits for hitting filth players. Or their supporters. Or even their relatives.

I clearly have too much time on my hands.

At least 2 should be 3 eyes of the ball and elbow to the head. So what if Zach tuoy played out the game it was intentional high impact in my book it floored him.Β 

Told you mate. What a joke.

SEN reported James Sicily going in for scans forΒ a suspected broken wrist. With McEvoy out this would be another huge blow for the Hawks.

If the AFL ran the criminal justice system, an armed robber who dropped the loot when escaping would get a lesser penalty than if he didn't drop it even if all other aspects of the crime were identical.

Pithy yet apt and insightful as always.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeatΒ  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
