De Goey from Collingwood out for at least 2 weeks with bone stress to fibula. In plain English it means a broken leg.

    If Collingwood beat Richmond then full credit to them.

    But their record against the top 8 is only marginally better than ours. 1-4 (1-5 when you add in Geelong), and the only win is against us and we're 0-4 (0-6 including Geelong).

    The last time they played a top 8 side they got beaten by West Coast, a man down in rotations for over a half, by 6 goals at home. 

    I'm just not yet convinced Collingwood is as good as their record or ladder position suggest.

    Really? Never heard of a player only missing 2 weeks with a broken leg. Miraculous.

    I'm sorry for De Goey. 

    Despite the sympathy I have for the young man, it in no way detracts from my hatred of the filth.

    interesting that they're reporting it as alternatively 'shin splints', 'bone soreness', 'bone stress', etc. etc

    sounds like he's fractured his fibula, which is terrible luck for the kid

    Any stress fracture, he is going to be out for longer than 2 weeks i would say. Unless the Filth have some magic juice they quietly administer.....

    A few decent chances of upsets this week - 

    Geelong vs Brisbane - unfortunately its in Geelong, but the Lions are playing very good footy

    Freo vs Hawthorn -  Dockers beat Port at home a couple of weeks ago, while hawks lost to the Lions in Tassie.    Dockers with some handy players back this week too.

    Doggies vs Port -   Port are overrated,  the Bont is back and the game is in Ballarat.

     

    If we can get an upset (preferably a couple)  from those three games it will be a great result.

    We’re cheering the Swans on tonight, right?

    No way we could handle Ess on the same points as us if they win tonight.??

    Who else thinks Richmond will smash the Pies this weekend? A lot of talk about game of the round etc, but with Pies injuries I can see it being very one sided and Collingwood are just as bad as us, they've beaten no one.

    I tend to agree. If sydney win then we hopefully will as well which keeps both essenscum and adelaide on 36 points and probably gone for the year. Fremantle and brissy are the ones to watch. Girlong might be a little flat after last week. Would love to see the filth get thrashed.

    Collingwood: Consistently smashes poor sides, loses to top sides, "respectable losses"

    Melbourne: the same, except replace respectable with disappointing or disastrous.

    It's a tough one.  On one hand, Sydney have a very tough draw, and a loss tonight could help their slide.

    On the other hand, Essendon's draw would seem to be easier than ours, so a win tonight could see them get in front of us and be hard for us to run down.  That said, I don't really rate the Bombers, so I can see them dropping some of the "easier" games that they have.

    I'll be supporting Essendon tonight (vomit!). They have Hawthorn next week (then StK), then Richmond and Port away in their last two rounds and need 4 out of 5 to make 13 wins. It's not completely unrealistic but I think they are a long shot to make the 8. Sydney have a super tough run and if they drop this they could also miss finals.

    FWIW I have tipped Sydney, as I don't rate Essendon.

    i reckon Swans will miss finals. For those who like to punt they are $3 to miss finals. if they lose tonight - which i suspect they will - that will come into$1.80 or so so if keen load up tonight (i'm keen).

    Critical game for them. I think Essendon will be too quick for them.

    A bombers win would be great for us. they won't make it and swans fall out of the 8 that will help us. 

    Our percentage is the ace up our sleeves.

    It's critical that Freo beat Hawthorn on Sunday night if we're any hope of sneaking in with 12 wins.

    I can see a lot of sides including us finishing on 12 wins and we all know who has the best percentage at the moment.

    Whilst Adelaide and Essendon are paying elimination finals every week, they'll eventually come tumbling down in the last couple of weeks.

    If these teams win, we are 5th and 1 game from 3rd. It's that close!

    While we will all be barracking for some sides to beat others (as much as we wished we wouldn't have to do that this year), there's going to be a lot of sides hoping we beat our opponent or our opponent beats us.

    The hopes of about 7 clubs hinge on the results of many of our remaining games.

    We're not alone in this boat.  It's great, but also killing me.

    Must be a spin tactic from the filth hierarchy, as their members are probably too stupid to figure it out , a stress fracture ... must just need a few Valiums and two week holiday

      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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
