Would love to see Freo knock over the pies for obvious reasons. I just don't want the pies getting a double chance

Sydney v Hawks will be interesting

But i really think the game that will be the highest viewing game and the most popular is nth v saints tucked away at 4:40. Not

What I would find hilarious but it wont happen is GC best geelong, they miss out on the finals and port slide in. Actually assuming Port beat the scum tomorrow night, which I hope they do they will be in the 8 until geelong play.

    The only upside of the filth getting the double chance is the possibility of them going out in straight sets ...

    I hate the filth ....

    my preference would be to seek revenge on the cats in 2 weeks, to say we owe them is an understatement.

    I wouldn’t be discounting the Dockers. They have an unpredictably dual nature in that they are the competition’s Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde: usually very good on their home deck but they go shockingly when they have to travel away.  

    Barring the local derby games, Freo are 7-3 on their home ground this year. Their scalps include both Adelaide teams and earlier this year they nearly knocked over the Eagles at the venue.     

    I’m backing them in to upset the Pies.

    Can't really see any upsets this weekend. Maybe the saints over North. Us and gws about the hardest to pick.

    Just as there is a lot at stake in ladder position for the top 8 there will also be jockeying for position outside the 8 for Draft position.  eg 3 teams are on 44 pts so they can shift 3 spots in the draft.   Ditto a few spots for teams further down.

    I doubt the likes of Freo will try too hard to beat the Pies, or North try too hard to beat the Saints.  Adelaide may even let Carlton win to lock in draft pick 7 - critical for Adelaide in a draft top heavy with SA talent.  

    A very interesting round...

    Who do we all think will take out the Coleman?
    Riewoldt and Brown in the box seat but Hawkins playing against the Suns could have a field day.
    By the time Sunday rolls around Ben Brown will know exactly how many he needs and I reckon the North boys will try and feed him all day. Depends which Saints turn up as to how many he kicks.

    60   Jack Riewoldt  (Vs Dogs – Sat avo)
    58   Ben Brown  (Vs Saints – Sun avo)
    57   Lance Franklin  (Vs Hawks – Sat night)  *potentially not playing based on recent commentary
    56   Tom Hawkins  (Vs Suns – Sat avo)
    52   Luke Breust  (Vs Swans – Sat night)
    - - - - - - - - - - - - 
    47  Jesse Hogan  (Not playing)
    46  Jack Gunston  (Vs Swans – Sat night)
    45  Tom McDonald  (Vs GWS – Sun avo)

    Well done to Jesse and Tom who will likely both finish within the top 10.

    I so want Geeeeelong to win so we can have the pleasure of thumping them out of the finals. Our two loses to them earlier MUST burn deep within our boys and staff. Just want to see their smug faces in serious pain. Their arrogance really upsets me.

    Dead rubber tonight.

    I don't wish injury on any player but I would like to see the 10 best players from Port and Essendon all do their ACL and miss all of 2019.

    We have never had 20 ACL tears in the same game so maybe tonights the night.

    Port is an absolute rabble. I guess Jack Watts was the problem all along…?

    Good question, they were 11-4 and will miss.

    This is hilarious what's happened in the Port v Ess match!

    Just turned the match on and after three minutes turned it off. In that time Brooooose climaxed three times over the druggies. RETIRE now you nuff nuff. He just insult's everyone's intelligence.

    You would have to say now that Port won’t win by 150 points tonight and therefore, we are officially in the final 8.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
