    The swans are by no means impregnable. There is tremendous significance in this result. Can the Titan called the Sydney swans be about to topple ?? It's about blddy time.

    Makes our loss to St Kilda look better. Yes I know that's a difficult task, but at least we tried hard at the end of the last Q.

    That should be the default answer when people ask 'how did we lose to St Kilda?'

    How did RIchmond lose to St Kilda by 11 goals at the end of last season then win a  flag 8 weeks later?   Footy is indeed strange.

    What the actual? Gold Coast? At least now we aren’t the only team to fluff it against cellar dwellers.

    Take it MFC TAKE IT! They’re sitting there waiting to give you their money!

    Dew would have very good knowledge of how to pick apart the Swan's game strategies, that would have been a factor.  But its still a win in the record book.

    Sydney are 7-1 on the road and 3/5 at home, so you might want to temper expectations of a win just yet. I blame Gill for not scheduling the game at the SCG.

    Try landing at Lukla ;)

    Worst flight I ever had was to Lukla...

    All others cancelled after ours, lucky me.

    Felt like Dennis' 'Cork in the ocean'.

    Freo might make it two upsets in a row here and effectively end Essendrugs season.  Wouldn't that be something.

    Carn Freo! Enjoyable watch the bombers struggle to win this against kids. 

    The commentators still trot out the line:

    the bombers are a top 4 team when playing well. 

    Wtf does that mean? They are 12th!

    Yep, mine was a while back now but a harrowing flight that I will never forget.

    The plane was being thrown around from one cliff face to another, a sherpa woman was screaming at the top of her lungs, one of the monks was laughing in stitches and I was white knuckle holding onto my seat. Know idea what that would do if the plane smashed into one of the mountains but hey that's what you do.

    Anyway, good to see GC knock over Sydney...lets hope we get the job done tonight and stay safe 'SWYL'...

    edit: just checked the youtube vid..pretty certain it was a grass strip when I went there and at the end of the strip where you see that cliff face there was an old smashed up plane that miscalculated left there just as a reminder.

    Haha. I can visualize all that. What were you in?

    ATR 72 or a Jet?

    Right. Well they are going to get thrown around. I would be screaming to, asking ladies for a kiss. 

    There was a Tiger Air plane that got hit by lightning just out of Melbourne i read. That can be very dangerous!!

    • 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.
