The Scott brothers seem to get a lot of luck for two blokes that deserve zero of it.

    Rayner had been super and thenshanked the last shot to win the game.

    Surely the runner would have yelled out waste the 30 and take a shot with a bit of maturity.

    both of these games are gonna make things difficult but for once lets take our destiny into our own hands and stop worrying about the results of other teams. 

    Come on Dees!

    North's percentage could worry us with their generous run home. 

    Having a look at the ladder predictor if we win our next 2 games we should be safe

    Thank god the Hawks held on. Im sorry but essenscum have stkilda next week and I do not want them to have any chance of making finals. Plus im sick of people talking them up and mr tird saying they can win the premiership 

    Geelong hawthorn play each other each week so that could sort things out. 

    Anyway Adelaide and Sydney have to win. Tomorrow we need to win most importantly but also boost our percentage

    My god Brissy really should have won that. What Rayner was thinking I’ll never know. Young kid, he’ll learn volumes from that. 

    Great young side but they really lacked that composure in the end.

    And if he was a Melbourne player - he really should go back and learn his 'craft' in the vfl and have him ready for 2019 ?

    It’s infuriating watching a guy turn around to kick round the body on a 45 degree angle. Not once does it ever fill me with confidence.

    He wouldn’t have a chance to go back to VFL, he would’ve been delisted by now

    Essendon don't deserve to be in the 8, so it was justice served. Hawthorn on the other hand looked out of place below us on the ladder all season. I"d definitely back us to get back at them, 6 v 7 would be a fitting place to do it.

    Terrible results for us so far

    Geelong lost and will be outside the 8 with the hawks to come and the form team of the comp in bombers are out of the running! Lions getting up would have been perfect but hardly terrible results

    You have to wonder if he compares 20 attempts with each method at practice and uses the result to decide which way to do it in a game.

    Gee, football is in terible condition.

    Starting to think the bruhaha about 'spectacle of the game' and 'need to change what is happening on the ground' was just a smokescreen to cover the fact that all the real problems in the game at the moment have their source either at HQ or the Broadcasters.

    Meanwhile, that's three games in a row with see-saw surges of scoring and decided by less than a goal. I would guess that the actual fans are feeling pretty 'engaged with the content' at this point.

    Possibly true. I’d rather him take all his attempts practicing the drop punt on that angle but that’s just the purist in me talking.

    Funny how it’s seen a massive turnaround since coaches met for dinner at Gil the shills house

    Jeez, I'd have almost parted with a knacker to have seen Brisbane win that game and wipe the grin of that smug little [censored] Scott's face!!!

    Anyway I've tipped the Ravens.

    After all that, anyone want to modify their view of best result for us in C'wood v Sydney?

    (you can tell I'm confused)

    I’d rather Collingwood win. With their injury list they won’t go far in finals. Gives us breathing space on swans for next week?

    Both have positives and negatives. It's pretty much impossible to gauge what result is better because we can't know how the next 3 rounds will go. 

    For all we know, Brisbane blowing that win was the win that gets Norf to 14 wins and nullifies our superior percentage in the final round.

    I don't really want to play the Swans next week coming off 3 losses. If they win today it releases the pressure valve on them and lowers their stakes for the match against us. Would also be a sign that Collingwood's injury list is starting to take its toll.

    • 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.
