This is good for us! Opens up the top 4, but more importantly means if we win tomorrow we are a lot safer in the 8. 

Port play Pies next week.

 

Now come on brisbane pull a miracle out of the hat and beat those pies. 

About to watch the gws crows game. Barracking hard for the crows. 

Hilarious!!

great result for us. Pies beat Port next week and we beat Sydney tomorrow and Port cannot finish higher than us 

 

The "Jack Watt's moves to Port and still fails to play finals" story is a possibility, and would be pretty sad for him.

Brutal for us.

 

Ah well, we will just have to beat Meth Coast twice in a month over there.

Why? Hawthorn and Eagles winning is dream scenario. Fewer teams in contention is good. Really don't understand people wanting Geelong and Port to win today.


That was great result for us! Don't know how anyone could think otherwise. If Brisbane win tonight, it locks one of Port or Collingwood onto 12 wins until the final round of the year. It's great for our finals chances, so long as we win against Sydney.

Stop dreaming about finishing 2nd. West Coast were way too far ahead as it is and they have less to play for next week. Win win.

Maybe take a 2nd look at their reasoning.

Faint top 2/3 hopes. I'm all in on insurance plan.

Agree praha. Won't count for squat though, if we can't capitalise tomorrow.

We can still finish 2nd. 4th, 5th or 6th is most likely but I can't see either of GWS or WC dropping. Hawthorn may replace us in top 4. but we get a home final.

Another exciting finish, sure. But in those final frantic minutes I was thinking a 50 metre goal square would make this really exciting. 

Wet coke winning is a good result for us. We have to make the 8 first and foremost. With their injuries I would dare to say that port may not win another match.

Port had the ball in there forward half with 90 seconds to go, to then allow 2 goals is a choke of epic proportions 

Go lions.


I wonder, if we'll have the guts to throw Tom MacDonald back in defence for a quarter if we have a solid lead in the last, like the Eagles had the guts to throw McGovern forward for a quarter.

Finally someone spoken out about geelong. https://www.3aw.com.au/game-day-hawthorn-v-geelong-at-the-mcg/

Geelong legend Jimmy Bartel said it’s not good enough.

“You can’t have that top-end talent, that experienced coaching panel, a massive home-ground advantage, and miss the finals,” Jimmy said.

...and the Umpire review panel......

Mate you and so many others can cream your tweeds about making the finals, a Port win meant we had 2nd place in our own destiny, win 3, we had 2nd guaranteed, Port losing today means we have to rely on other results.

 

I don’t give a rats clacker about making the 8, this is an open season, any team can make the Grand Final where anything can happen, I wanted us to have the best opportunity to do that, Eagles winning limits it.

You know teams can win from outside the top 4 now, don’t you? 

Besides, you’re dreaming if you think we could finish top 2. West Coast play Brisbane in round 23. It was never going to happen. 

I want to make the 8. That is first and foremost. The rest we can worry about later.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
