This game is win-win but also lose-lose.

Win-win: an Essendon loss rules them out of finals (the chance of them winning all three of Hawthorn, Richmond and Port (away) is too low IMO), a Sydney loss keeps them sliding and another option for a team to fall below us in the run home (and, if we want to dream a bit, keeps the top 4 door a bit ajar).

Lose-lose: an Essendon win draws them level with us on wins if we lose (we were at one stage 3 games in front of them on the ladder), a Sydney win rights their ship and makes the chance of them dropping out a bit less likely.

    Collingwood can't seem to take a trick with their injuries. 

    Will shed a tear when our injury list mirrors Richmond last year.

    Zac Jones reported at the start - the ‘victim’ deserves an Oscar and a one week suspension.  There were a few gentle jabs to the neck /jaw, certainly far less that Carlisle on Hogan, then after a delay jerked back.  

    Though seriously why the hell do players carry on with this crap at the start, or any time for that matter.  Right in front of the bald maggot.

    A reminder that we're not the only club who gets bad umpiring decisions.

    That non-call of holding the ball on Zak Jones was absolute garbage. I'd be livid if I were an Essendon supporter.

    Also a reminder that the free kick count at the end of the day doesn't always show unfairness or bias as it doesn't show the missed calls.

    It was an absolute shocker.  One of the worst I've seen this year.

    Bomber fans can't complain too much outside of that.  They're leading the free kick count 8-3 at the moment.

    Swans look terrible at the moment.  So slow with their ball movement and they have nothing up forward.  Their backline is keeping them in it.

    Another Friday night classic, putrid umpiring and low scoring scrap. Gil and co at the ground must be happy of the mess they’ve created

    Looks like Wooshas chat with umpires has paid off. Perhaps we should do similar

    MFC are far too gentlemanly or maybe weak to do that.

    Worked for the Cats last week  and tonight for Bummers

    Every time the cameras turn to him I nearly puke. 

    Killer of the game we knew and loved.

    How about Gill and Steve focus on improving umpiring as a key change to the game for next year

    Perhaps they can trial it in the last few rounds of this year!!

    That would be far too radical change or adjustment for the AFL to consider.

    A bit dirty from Smith with the trip. Not on.

    Devon Smith just did a classic Fletcher foot out trip - ignored by the maggots.   Will Christian have a look especially after this weeks broken leg ( only worthy of three weeks though)?.  Probably not especially were the Bummers to win and remain in the race. HQ wouldn’t allow that, though of course Christian is independent isn’t he ?????

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      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?
