So, quick refresher - anyone out there still want to claim Marc Murphy is overrated?

If he was on our list right now we'd have the big piece we're missing and would be legitimately anticipating a grand final.

    Steven May will be out for weeks after his hit on Curnow. Good news for us

    I wonder if boy wonder, Cripps, gets off for the tackle that rammed Swallow's head into the ground and he didn't come back on.

    But Cripps is in the running for the Brownlow and the AFL would love to see him win it so the MRO may well weasel word an excuse to get him off.

    Can't believe Carlton beat GCS who beat Sydney last week.  It is a very strange game, this aussie rules!

    No way that Cripps gets suspended. Wasn’t even a particularly strong tackle. Swallow just st unlucky

    Is it too much to expect a win to WCE and upsets in the other two games today? 

    ha, maybe.. but its fair to say that we're all hoping for that to happen.

    Not this Demonlander.  Absolutely hoping for a Norf win as I don't accept WCE have 2nd spot (and home finals) locked away, nor that a top 4 spot is beyond the Dees.    It is pointless us hoping for everyone outside the eight to fall away, just so we can fall in to finals.  Someone will be there with 13 wins.  We need to win our way in to finals and strive to get a double chance, hopefully with as many Victorian based clubs in the top 4 as possible.

    suprised it wasn’t prime time last night

    Potentially the most thrilling game yesterday so it should have been !!!! 

    Carlton's millions of fans deserve it surely.

    I'll be cheering on the WB today, should be atrocious cold conditions today and a poor spectacle, Dogs to scrap it out, Port are pretenders.

    "Central for Sunday Very high chance of showers. Snow falling above 900 metres. The chance of a thunderstorm from late this morning. Gusty winds and possible hail. Winds NW 30 to 45 km/h turning W 35 to 55 km/h. Daytime maximum temperatures between 9 and 14."

    It is freezing here in Ballarat top of 9, hope the doggies get up 

    I still think Ballarat is the coldest place I've ever been to. I remember sitting at that train station one morning when it was snowing and windy, will never forget it, thought I was going to die.

    Not with Shuey and Kennedy out. Shuey's is "personal reasons" while Kennedy is general soreness...

    Dogs deserve it but fascinating that they are paid by the State Government to play in Ballarat but we have to go to NT to get our dollars.

    Would love to be on  a deal to play in Mildura instead of Darwin

    Yep totally with you. Tipped the Doggies, let’s hope they have a blinder and send these floppers packing.

    North are blessed down in Tassie. First time I can recall North kicking to the left of screen in the first quarter and there’s no wind blowing down there.

    Kicked it.

    Theatre.  If a player threw the ball up like that at any other part of the ground it wouldn't go up 5cm before being called a throw.  If a defender did it they'd be laughed out of the league.

    I tend to agree. It was a great goal, but he certainly threw it up in the air before connecting with the ball.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
