    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: 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.
