It’s like that Xmas Eve when I was a kid and I was sure I was going to get a Mongoose BMX with pegs. Very exciting. Come Xmas Day I got some lime green BMX from Kmart I had to assemble myself. I put it together and ghosted it down Jells Road (Possibly the steepest hill in Melbourne?) 

Worst.Xmas.Ever. 

Did you put the piece of cardboard in the spokes with a clothes peg?

    I was 12 years old on a lime green BMX that had cartoon animal decals on it. There was no way I was going to draw extra attention to myself by making it make extra noise.

    You were lucky! We used to dream of having a lime green BMX with cartoon animal decals. Luxury.

    While I’m interested in anyone who grew up in Glen Waverley, I’m being a spoiler and making a football observation!

    Why do umpires never pay over the mark against Hawthorn or the Swans last weekend.

    Last night fourth quarter in last 5-10 minutes, commentator actually called Hawk player for metre over the mark, the fact he’d taken three steps seemed a lot more than a metre. But Hawthorn players are always over the mark and never get pinged!

    Why?

    Do you need to ask? The answer is obvious.

    If we win both games from here, we likely finish 5th or 6th (depending on results in the GWS-Sydney and Sydney-Hawthorn games).

    We can still make the top 4 (for those still playing that game) - we need us to win both, Sydney to beat GWS but lose to Hawthorn, and then either Hawthorn loses to St Kilda or Collingwood loses to Fremantle so that we can pass them on 14 wins with our percentage. That means we can theoretically still finish as high as 3rd. 

    If we win just one game, we'll likely finish 6th-8th (depending largely on what happens with Geelong's percentage and then the results of the GWS-Sydney and Sydney-Hawthorn games).

    If we lose both games, we'll finish 8th if Port lose to Essendon and North lose one game. We'll finish 9th if only one of things happens (i.e. if Port wins or if North wins both). We'll finish 10th if neither of those things happens (i.e. Port wins and North wins both).

    I believe now this works as follows:

    1. If we win both we finish 5th (4th if Fremantle upsets Collingwood) and we host Geelong (unless they somehow lose to GC)
    2. If we win one but lose the other we'lll likely finish 8th. If our win is against WC then we'll play GWS, if our win is against GWS then we'll play the loser of Sydney-Hawthorn
    3. If we lose both but scrape into the finals (requires North to lose a game and Port to lose to Essendon), then we finish 8th and we get GWS unless Fremantle beats Collingwood, in which case we'd get Collingwood.

    I wasn’t from the area, but a couple of guys i was studying with in the 80’s were. Gave them a lift home many times, that hill was scary, my Rotary was screaming in 2nd gear!!!

    they had an off night and still won. We at the MFC can only dream such scenario’s. 

    It will be forgotten about by Monday afternoon 

    Clarkson looked savage on that result. Nothing will be forgotten by Monday.

    Incidentally, if the Saints were paid the 50 metre penalty they deserved with about one minute 30 left on the clock Clarkson would have been in an even darker mood. Amazing that umpires are red hot on players in the 'protected zone' even when they are clearly trying to avoid interfering with play, yet they don't pay the age old 50 metre penalties that are so often there for stepping a metre or two over the mark.

    Saints needed a lucky break...like an umpire doing the job properly...and didn't get it.

    Fair enough. Didn’t see the game, just followed the scores. 

    Still reckon after a monday morning review, it will be forgotten. 

    Whorethorn always move forward. Lucky pricks

    • 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.
