    I know this won't happen, but if Freo beat Collingwood in Perth, we will finish 4th with a victory.

    Stranger things have happened.   At least its in Perth, and maybe the Dockers will want to avenge their woeful performance vs the Cats.

    Wouldn't that truly be a thing of beauty?  Leapfrog over the enemy...!!  We can dream!

    Cheers RD....can’t wait either. I’ve been watching Kent’s goal over and over this morning. The most crucial kick for goal in recent times for the MFC and he nailed it from 50. The kick went 60 and landed in the Demon Army. Beautiful stuff!!

    They didn't even look at the Crisp 'incident' nor should they. 

    Probably because a heap of commentators called it out as: bizarre, ridiculous, worst free kick of the season, umpire clanger.

    They deserve all the karma they get, the stories I've heard of how Tex treated Jake all of last season is disgusting, then the after season dogging by Tex and others of Jake. Then the camp fiasco and Tex has had a stinker of a year. Got what they deserved I'm afraid.

    Eggzactly LH. I like the last comment there.... "the only one who didnt have his eyes where they should have been, was the umpire."

    There are some very funny comments in the Eagles supporters forums.

    - Melbourne are much dirtier than I thought

    - the umpires were cheating blatantly. Holding the ball doesnt exist for them. The amount of whining was unreal.

    - AVB should have been reported for his hit on Cripps as it could have broken his neck

    Read the same and have not stopped laughing all day. The umps were generous to both teams regarding HTB for the whole match but geez they had the umps on their side after quarter time 2 to 1. I recall years ago they had 26-1 at half time and now they expect it ALL the time. Nuff nuff's.

    Just a great feeling to see the win in Perth and to look forward to a crack at the finals.

    What makes it even more noteworthy is that we got the win without our best key forward, our best key defender and one of our most critical midfielders. Of those three only Viney looks a chance to return for the first week of finals.

    The way we played on Sunday in the absence of these three players and with other depth players also out injured shows me that we have the  critical depth to take on a challenge any team in the finals.

    Go Dees!

    So now we can play without looking over our shoulder all the time. No weight of expectation.

    Will be very interesting to see how we tackle GWS without being mentally haunted. The floodgates may be opening.

    There are some teams there and abouts that we owe something to. Geelong. Collingwood. Sydney. Hawks. The guys will look forward to meeting any of them.

    GO DEMONS

    We are swirling wine in a glass

    The alchemist sits upon a broad shoulder

    Peering into the abyss

    On the cliffs edge sits a giant boulder

    Nothingness into nothingness descends

    Destruction is a citadel at an undetermined end

    Searching for resolution 

    Steps seeking footprints

    Vapour becoming stone

    I love them saying we were dirty, I felt like we’d lost that mongrel we had last year. Yesterday we definitely had it back.

    Been waiting a long, long time for opposition supporters to say that about us, and boy does it feel good.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
