So is this a good result or a bad one for us?  I feel as though Port have a tougher run home, so them losing could be a better outcome as GWS have some easier games to come (and no, I don't include us in that).

Purely because I'm still wallowing in my own misery, the only amusement I can find from the situation is that GWS winning bumped Geelong down to 9th, despite what happened last night.

And... that's about it.

I think we have to accept GWS are likely to win almost every game from here with their buttery-soft run home. I'm not sure about Port's run home but I think they're pretenders and could easily fall out of the 8. It could very well be us vs them vying for that final spot.

    I would've preferred to stay above GWS, Port and Syd have tough runs home but a game in hand makes it tough for us to overcome either

    We need 3 wins now to scrape in on %

    I'm delirious, but we will 4 or 5 of our remaining games, and either pinch 4th or finish 5/6th.

    It's all in the head for our beloved demon's I truly believe we are top 4 quality . Although apart from the top 2 the rest of the 8 are all iffy on any given day

    Oh dear. The Port, St Kilda and Geelong games should have won them all and we would have been on top today. As if I wasn't feeling quite bad enough already.

    True, but those games show that we are not far off being really competitive should ease some of the pain.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
