So, if we beat Hawthorn, do we play WC on the Friday or Saturday night the week after? Seems pretty unfair to give a Victorian team a Saturday night match in Perth the week before a daytime Grand Final.

    It has to be Friday night! Surely... It’s the only common sense decision.

    I hate the filth.

    So good to see that fat pink triplechinned pig's reactions towards the end of the match. Couldn't control himself despite being aware that cameras would be on him.

    Hopefully out in straight sets.

    Exactly.   Only a madman would look past this Friday night.

    How many more years on his 99 year lease?  Looks past it really, and not particularly interested. 

    Having to clamber over your piles of cash (ah la uncle scrooge) to get out of the house each day would really take its toll physically I imagine

    Seriously contemplating a nice road trip accross the wonderful Nullabor.

    Time to dust off the trusty Google maps

    If you need a map to get across the Nulla probably best you don’t attempt it ?

    I’m not sure about you guys, but I was hoping West Coast won that. I was working out who I’d rather play if we beat Hawks and I can honestly say the structure and game style we play suits Eagles more, even if that is away at Optus Stadium. 

    They look to play a zoning uncontested game style which we have learnt how to counter and break the lines. I feel as though if we came up against the pies at the G their hard run and carry and spread game would be harder to play against than the Eagles.

    If so he can spend the rest of the finals series making jokes about the Melbourne club, Range Rovers, and the snow whenever we are playing.

    This is coming from a bloke who lives in Toorak and is good mates with Jamie Packer.

    Yes there is but it’s cathartic to know that we’re feeling generally optimistic of getting past the Hawks.

    And Perth broadcasters are already wary of coming up against the Demons particularly after beating them the other week.

    Was listening to 6PR a little bit yesterday and they had Brad Hardie on (I know, I know) and he said Melbourne is the main concern the Eagles have with making the GF. They hold no fear against the Hawks but we’re a very different proposition.

    Does anyone have any knowledge of how the ticketing works for an interstate final? 

    Thanks

    Roughly the same as last week.  AFL will set price categories, seat availability, #of tickets per member, selling times etc etc.

    The only difference if we make the Prelim, is that tickets will be sold thru Ticketmaster and not Ticketek - a blessing really.

    I’m hoping as an interstate member there will be a certain allocation and it’ll first in best dressed should we make it to the prelim. 

    Other than that I guess you line up for GA.

    thanks profusely but like many I am trying to gauge the worth of booking plane and accomodation etc but only prepared to do so if there is a realistic chance of tickets.

    And sends his sons to Melbourne Grammar. Despite this he wears the Broady boy upbringing as a badge of honour when it suits.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • POSTGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
