I know Port beat us (luckily I thought) a few weeks ago, but they don't worry me one iota.  If we make it to September, I'd be very happy to play them at any venue.

    Hawks now up to 123% and climbing.  Might overtake us by the end of the game.

    Ross Lyon is a dirty tanker.

    A couple of tough games for Essendon and North. The way Sydney is playing at the moment due to injuries Collingwood are a more than a chance. Collingwood are also in more injury trouble after this week. It's hard to know how much effect that will have, they've coped well so far this year with injuries.

    The Hawthorn v ESS is the early Saturday game. Shortish break for the Hawks after the Perth travel but it won’t make much difference after watching Freo stink it up.

    Sydney can’t seem to win at home and Pies showing plenty of ticker. Simply glad we won so we don’t have to think about other games for another week. 

    Would we prefer the Swans or Pies to get up?

    I guess the answer to that question is how optimistic are you about winning 3 - 4 of the last 4 games? The Swans winning could put us into the 4 next week if we beat GC and other results go our way.

    I’m more on the optimistic side, although we should worry about GC only for now.

    This last month of footy is going to be the most exciting ever.

    Two games separating 3rd from 11th.

    What has happened to Footscray? Are they still watching the 2016 GF...

    They deserved it, but since they have shown nothing

    Players and Coaches getting paid a lot of cash. 

    At least when the Demons win flags we do it in groups of 2-3

    That’s hard. Probably better the Pies. If Richmond and Collingwood are 1-2,hopefully mean twin MCG PRELIMS. 

    only alternative is West Coast - think I’d prefer Pies at G. 

    If we keep winning problem solved

    Goal of the year?

    It was certainly innovative and spectacular, but technically it was a throw.

    It is our next big challenge.  We are capable of matching it with the best, but are not ruthless.

    Is it a throw though ? 

    He released the ball... to himself...for the purposes of kicking...which he did.

    Had he not connected... it's a throw.

    Agree. He wasn't being tackled so I see nothing wrong with it. Unorthodox,  but he disposed the ball... For a goal

    would only be a throw if a) it went to another player, b) it hit the ground, or c) he took it in his hands after 'dropping' the ball, I believe?

    as it did neither it's considered part of the kicking motion

    greatest ball drop of all time!

    So a player lining up for goal could realistically throw the ball in the air and then kick it, rather than the conventional Ball drop we all know and love?

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
