FMD how the hell did we lose to St Kilda. The costliest loss of the decade. 

Get the win tommorow Dees then smack the living suitcases out of these, "Everything on a silver platter" Swans.

Can't stand them.

Think it’s 70 years since Melbourne played Tigers in a final. Maybe Bluey Truscott’s last game. 

I would love to Play Richmond week 1

Bradbury plan was only ever to make the finals. After that we're on our own.

Think you're right DL...

We need 3 wins for finals now

13 will likely get us in but there are scenarios that say 14 in needed. @Supermercado has a scenario where a team misses out on 13 wins and 8th being on 14.

I've had 3 kids since last finals and my oldest is nearly 10.

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.

Actually it’s a bit less conceivable than I thought. West Coast are two games ahead of us, I thought they were only one. Obviously my scenario had us beating them (and therefore passing them) but they’d need to drop one of their other games as well to not still finish 2nd. Given their other games are Freo, Port and Brisbane that seems a long shot.

Could be anyone's last game if we take the pessimistic line...

It's actually fairly likely now, not just a possibility

Hawks, Geelong, North could all easily finish on 14

We need Geelong you lose to Hawthorn or North to lose to Adelaide

Ladies and gentlemen, the top 4 has really opened up. We are a massive chance of a sneaky top 4.

Obviously this is code for missing the top 8, or is it...

Go you f’ing demons! Take your chances!!

Now we will find out if Goodwin can really Coach. It’s all on the line

 

I think its we find out if the 22 players that run out tomorrow can deal with expectation and want a top 4 spot desperately.

Foot injuries in a running game. 

September is up 15-20%

Perth Demons

These next 4 games are just going to be nerve racking. 

On another note next friday night Bummers v Saints. What a rippper

Sydney looked better tonight but they were playing an injury-riddled Collingwood who haven't beaten anyone good other than us (and we haven't beaten anyone better than North). And Sydney still only managed 18 scoring shots (Collingwood had 21).

I'm still confident we can beat them next week.

Anyone see the Jenkins point given a goal and cleared by score review.

The AFL have also cleared it.

Joke...

Hinkley is rightfully fuming over this one.

You can clearly see the ball spin change and direction change as soon as it hits the post...

Watched the pies v swans match with my pies supporting partner ( loves Melb but unfortunately I can’t extend the same courtesy) had some empathy for the pies with the amount of injuries......so don’t think the swans win was that meritorious.....I remember thinking last year when we had so many injuries ( not acknowledged by the media aka the pies this year) that with a reasonably injury free list this year we will do so much better...we have so far but  the rest of the competition also improves & so it proves a point that you must take your chances when presented ......go dees for the next 4 games & beyond !!
