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!


Another positive is neither the cows or port Adelaide are playing finals. 

My neighbor is a cows supporter and an absolute [censored] of the highest order  

Two words I have to say is SUCKED IN. 

You get what u deserve. 

1500 fine to AVB for contact with Riolli.....Phew..

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.

87 all over again! Think we may be about to find a whole new gear. 

Is just like when 6 speed gear boxes became a thing...


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.

Think you may have had too much of that swirling wine?

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
