Even though they will win GWS are the losers out of this game. Another 2 long term injuries. Shaw knee looked shredded, could be the end for him.

Shaw looks fine on the bench. Icing the knee. No ice for structural damage. I say bruising and back for Melbourne game. 

Meantime they can’t lose.

    What’s happened to “sauce” Jacobs? Last year he was brilliant, he has been Spencer (sorry Spencil) bad this year.

    I hope for our sake you’re right

    Now that the dream of second died with a Jeremy McGovern kick after the siren, let us focus our energy on putting the mozz on North. If they lose and we win, we are two games and significant percentage ahead of 9th and 10th, and the chances of us missing the 8 go from “enough to make us s*** ourselves” to “mathematically still possible but the biggest kind of unlikely”.

    God I hope we win tomorrow. I really need to be able to put my mind at ease for a little while at least!

    Well with tonight’s results it’s setup a nice blood boiling, heart tugging, pressure cooking Sunday afternoon/evening. Can’t wait!

    If we win tomorrow and beat West Coast next week, our GWS clash in round 23 will be for third. I doubt they’d be so keen to face Richmond at the MCG in a qualifying final to take it easy against us.

    Us realists don't care if we slip lower than 9th if we are out of the 8.  That won't mean much given the nature of the season.  We want to ensure we don't slip lower than 8th.  I bet you idealists will scream more loudly than  any of us if we miss the 8.

    Are you really that surprised that after 12 years of not playing finals at all, some of us can't help but focus on actually making the top 8 this year?

    If you're going to troll, at least come up with something half intelligent.

    Adelaide were never in contention for finals; they're stuck on 10 wins like the Bombers with a terrible percentage. It's increasingly clear 13 wins + good percentage is the qualifier for finals this year, so any team with under 10 wins stealing points off teams above them is a win.

    Completely different story for Port who have the exact same wins as us and would've leapfrogged us if they'd beaten the Eagles today. It's really not hard to see the difference and how we benefit from Port losing.

    I think you've covered all bases there Nasher.  

    My resting heart rate just shot up. Thanks

    Ok so we have to win tomorrow. Cannot stress that enough. 

    Gee the giants certainly copped the worst of the injuries. I know port lost a few but it looks like Shaw's out for the season, who knows how bad Kelly's concussion is and reid did his hammy. 

    Wow the crows just crumbled this season. 

    Poor Port though, they led for every minute of that game until after the siren. They did a melbourne and couldn't hold on for 44 seconds.

    They may not have the option to rest players.

    Is it bye-bye Tex for this season?   

    He must get a few weeks for that half-sling/half-driving tackle on Kelly.

    Commentators were quick to play it down (as they do with better known player) arguing that Tex couldn't know the ball had fallen free.  Dangerfield got a week last year even tho he couldn't have known the ball had fallen free.  His tackle was far less malicious than Tex's.

    Likes being the tough guy but nothing tough about that tackle.

    Ryan nyhuis from Freo got three weeks for a similar tackle on Robbie gray I think.

    i remember at the time the commentary was similar ‘didn’t know the ball had jarred free’.

    didnt help him. Will be an interesting case for the afl of ‘first year rookie of an irrelevant club vs name player’ 

    will get 2 weeks I reckon

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
