This would have taken a fair bit of energy out of the swans. Thank [censored] that Johnson came back this week and that feel good factor is not in play against the Dees.

Think this is the first time ever that a round has had 5 games decided by less than a goal.

One  hell of a logjam, but 3rd is for the taking.

Man I wish pies had of won tonight. Swans and buddy get their confidence back. Makes it a lot harder for us to make the 8

Pies will get to 14 wins with their soft draw. 

It is entirely 100% in our hands as to where we finish - even second, with double chance and home finals is possible .... in fact WILL happen if we win all our games.

So ...no excuses.

Excellent Result

3rd if we win. Just saying. 

* Obviously Carlton will beat GWS. 

How good has this round of footy been? Damn.

As long as we beat the Swans. Possibly one of WCE & GWS. And obviously the Suns. 

Super round of footy so far.

If anything, this round should be proof positive that we should fear no team in the competition.  Swans might have fallen over the line tonight, but I think the win paper's over their cracks.

Well... what a finish, I think this year will be as tantalising as last year - we’ll lose to GWS miraculously and hate all of our close losses for it...!

but we have a sniff’

Great chance to be 4th at end of round, as long as we don't screw the pooch. Massive game next week if we win tomorrow. Come on Dees. ?

First round in VFL/AFL history where 5 games decided by under a goal.

It should never be easy to make the Top 4. 

It’s time RIGHT NOW for the MFC to get serious

The filth nearly won with a depleted squad. I am nervous about next week but watching the swans they look terrible. We can move into 4th tomorrow so lets see if we can keep it.

We could conceivably be playing GWS for a top 2 spot in round 23. 

4th tomorrow is up for grabs, yeeeeww

Think how many TV's would have had coffee cups or bottles put through them.???

And I see no reason why we can't be doing that.  The Eagles in Perth will be tough, but I think we can match them on the day.

That was the exact spirited swans win I didn’t want to happen

Possibly a cheese board or two if ours goes the same way. Too soon?

If Kennedy is out we stand a very good chance.

If we want to win a flag this year, the Sydney win was the perfect result for us.
If we just want to Bradbury our way to an extra footy game this year, well then bad luck.

Better this week than next.

lol Franklin or not, Sydney are still terrible.

Collingwood literally has no backline with Dunn, Scharenberg & Howe. 

Of course a champion was going to kick a bag.

If we beat Eagles and GWS, we will go deep into September......just sayin
