    Looks like the Tigers are playing 'Injury-Free' football!

    Crows did the same in rnd 23 last year and went into GF with only 2 decent workouts in over a month.  And they played like it in the GF.

    The 'Injury-Free' attitude might come back and bite the Tigers.

    I didn't think Geelong would get close to our percentage.  I was wrong.

    Right now Geelong's percentage is 129.3 (ours 129.8) with a half to go.

    Does the AFL hire police for matches? They're even waiting outside the coaches box to escort the coaches to the ground!

    Didn't realise you could hire out a copper.

    yep brown paper bags always works

    Geelong are the only team in the AFL with an actual home ground advantage. 

    No wonder they make the finals every year.

    Geelong really don't have much to gain from boosting their %.  They can only end at 7th or 8th. 

    While there are many finals combos their most probable scenarios: 

    1) We win, they play us at the G. 

    2) We lose, they travel to Sydney to face GWS/Swans or play Hawks at the G.

    It looks like they are playing hard to avoid facing us in the 1st final :D

    Not sure about that - The G as Home ground certainly helps Tigers, Pies and Hawks.  Hopefully, next year it will become our fortress as well.

    That's true, thanks.

    It looks like no matter what we do their most likely scenarios have them travelling to Sydney to face GWS/Swans or play Hawks at the G. Is that right?

    So they are building % to avoid playing us whether we win or lose? :D

    I think its the hope that if we win we go to 5th and they get pushed down to 8th.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
