Which knee jerker made that call ..... Vlad or Dill?

I agree it is a stupid idea.    Loses momentum not only for the teams but also for the supporters, especially the “neutral”ones.  

Yeah I hate it, no games just before finals..gives advantage to the lower teams to refresh for the next set of games.

 

Could we handle Cox? Frosty?

I reckon they are going to revisit the double bye (end of r23 and winner of qual final), it does seem to be an advantage playing every week of finals in recent history.

If Collingwood win, it'll be 2-3 (in favour of sides who play in the semi finals) in prelims since they brought the bye in.

Even if West Coast beat us, and it's 3-3, that's a 50% fail rate for top 4 sides who win their first final in the prelim since they brought the bye in.

From 2006-2015 only once side did it (Hawthorn in 2015).

De Goey off the rooms. Howe grabbing a hammy. Excellent news for us potentially. 

Don't jinx anything!

Is it just me or has Richmond looked really selfish in their front half tonight? 

Their constant mantra of trying to keep the ball in motion looks terrible when it doesn't work. Lots of players not wanting to put their head over the ball and get the contested ball and instead just tap it forward or kick it forward because usually that works, but it looks silly when those taps forward just go to Collingwood players.

 

Wasn't sold on Collingwood at all. Only one top 8 scalp all season and a very soft fixture care of finishing bottom 6.

Didn't think beating a [censored] house GWS proved their credentials but embarrassing the best team in the comp has shown they are the real deal. Sadly.

Mmmmm

We were 32 points up at three quarter time last week and the Hawks got within twelve

Can hear the fireworks for the storm win

Bring Bernie in, just to smack him at the opening bounce? 

 

Richmond getting that goal would've been huge. Almost game on if this was under 30 points.

I understand the theory behind it, I believe it was Freo that rested half a dozen star players the week before the finals. I think the better change would be to play all final round games at the same time ala Premier League in the UK. 

But it definitely looks like the bye now favours non top 4 teams.

Yeah, Frosty would do him I reckon. Very worried watching him tonight but yeah Frosty has the speed and power to push him.

Tiges are gone. Only started there A game of pressure after half time. Too little too late.

I was thinking the same thing. Cox didn't look as good that quarter, with the pies disposal dropping off a bit. Team effort I think, Frosty with Max filling the hole. Cox has shown a bit of forward craft this game which is annoying.

As I  said....pathetic knee jerk reaction.

After all, Lyons “shrewd tactic”backfired on him  

 


Any news on De Goey? 

Seeing the filth go through to a grand final is disgusting. It starts tmrw demons. Beat wet coke and then the filth. How wonderful that would be.

Yep Meth Coast versus Filth.
Might pull my toenails out instead

Why somewhere as “civilized “ as Texas.  Why not Baghdad or Kabul or Aleppo?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
