Love watching Sydney play. Every dumb thing my team does that has me pulling my hair out…Sydney don't do. It's nice to watch a smart team that gets back off the mark quickly, has a guy on the goal-line at all times to stop easy out-the-back goals, and actually delivers the ball inside 50 with some semblance of forethought and strategy.

    Giants are $2.35 against us next week 

    Don't worry, they'll be into $1.01 after West Coast [censored] us tomorrow by 50 points, despite us being +30 for inside 50s and +50 for clearances.

    Lots of people wrote Sydney off a few weeks back, they just have too much experience, class and are well coached and drilled, can never write the bastards off

    I can't stand them, especially after letting them of the hook last week.

    Adelaide wins tomorrow and Essendon wins Friday night next week and we'll be set in the 8 without winning a match.

    So we have that at least…

    Making the finals by default isn't much of an achievement, especially when you haven't beaten a single other team in the top 9.

    Does it sound like I think it's much of an achievement?

    Guys on the goal-line stopping knee-high scrubbed goals out of packs really do it for me even more than that. Fair to say I loved Jimmy Bartel play.

    If North makes the finals, we're 9th. And we will have beaten a team in the 8.
    If we makes the finals, North's 9th. And we will have not beaten a team in the 8.

    I know which I'd prefer.

    What chance of StKilda causing upset. Zilch.

    I think the better question is what chance of Hawthorn doing something (Melbourne-like) stupid and losing to them. 

    We’re the team that seems to make those monumentally stupid mistakes.

    It’s always good when the AFL put either the Saints or Carlton on prime time, won’t be surprised if after Fremantle’s effort today they get an extra three or four Friday or Saturday night games next year.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
