    Will they be under instructions to keep MFC in the race given that WCE are certain double chance?

    I was secretly hoping this may be the case.

    In all honesty, that was one of the most biased calls I’ve ever heard in a game of football. Atrocious effort.

    Pretty ordinary game. I flicked across to the Storm game, now that"s how to win a game when all the odds (plus the commentators) are against you. Get whoever motivates the Storm down to the Dees....Urgently!!!

    Honestly, that Umpiring was shameful.  I didn’t give a rats toss about the game, but the umpiring was perhaps the worst and most blatant I have ever seen.  Conspiracy theorists can have a field day.  That made the whole comp looked like a rigged shill game.

    Well Port won’t have to worry about the filth tmrw coz the druggies will be useless next week. They couldn’t even win with umps blatently favouring them against a depleted side.

    This isn't a good omen for Sunday.

    The comp is becoming a disgrace

    You have to be joking. They will prefer the cats and port in the 8 before us. They will crucify us on Sunday. North might be on for a tough ride on Sunday as well. They don’t have the numbers as well.

    We'll be lucky to come within half of the free kicks West Coast get gifted. It doesn't fit the AFL directive for us to make finals when they know getting Geelong/Sydney/Port in before us makes them more money. They'll be desperate to ensure SA has a team represented, that their precious NSW market has both teams playing finals, and that Geelong's "superstars" get their fairytale finals campaign. The fix is on.

    28 to 13 against Richmond. Tigers were unfazed and just went about their business. Wish our blokes did the same. Pretty hard though in our situation when they give no clear indication of impartiality for a whole game's worth........................

    Goddard is a dead weight on Essendon.  How he can look so indignant at others when he put in such a weak effort himself is beyond me.

    Is it me or has he really dropped of the cliff since about 10 rnds in? He looked terrible tonight... I liked it.

    Wouldnt say completely unfazed though. Interesting Dimma sticking up for his players and never a whimper from Goodwin. That was blatant cheating last night to get the bombers home. You cant tell me they dont try and even up the competition to make it look better.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
