Really, we need to give up on this subject. They will have beaten GWS, Melbourne, WCE and Richmond if they win the flag which is 4 of the top 5 (excluding themselves). That’s deserving form in anyone’s language. Our story would’ve been pretty much the same.

 

2 Ruckman combo is back in vogue again.

But we beat West Coast in the West in the last few weeks of the season. And don’t give me that Kennedy Darling nonsense. We played like dogs in the Prelim. We had Viney back.

Your kidding right? Nothing even remotely close to the reason i wrote about.

Yeah we beat WC, they were under strength remember? Kennedy kicked 3 goals in a GF today did you see that SD? It was a good win but its completely different in a Prelim interstate in a hostile environment. We were spooked.

Win your games (5 under 10 points)and play in a qualifying final at the G, we had to do it the hard way. You completely ignored this factor champion.

outside the top 4.

Get a clue bloke.

They deserved it if they beat the Dees in a Prelim.

Crap. Watch the game sweetie. We fell apart psychologically. Kennedy got the ball because Lewis passed it to him and our players were turning it over. We had almost the same crowd against us the last time we played and we didn’t have viney.  The delivery from the midfield was dreadful. Theirs was brilliant. It wasn’t about Kennedy and darling. It was about the midfield.

I’m adding to the narrative, don’t assume I’m responding to your drivel.

I really don’t get this constant conversation on the topic. Today proved they were deserved top 4 and worthy grand finalists, we failed in certain games so we didn’t deserve to finish in the top 4. 

They played a good finals series and had a very good year, well done to them. (But still glad they didn’t win the premiership!)

I watched alright, i know exactly what got taken away and nullified, our biggest strength.

If you dont think 2 key forwards make a difference your clueless.

Discussion more around the the season  draw/fixture ... I’m sorry but finishing top 4 should not be on the back of 14 wins against bottom 8 sides ... Comp needs to be playing each other once to remove gifting wins against poor sides twice vs other sides playing higher placed sides more times.

Sadly, not like 2016 Doggies.

As long as they can keep FIGJAM as their coach for another 5 to 10 years. IMO the saved his job for another 5 more years.

Love it when he get so very sad after every loss.

Yes the draw is rigged by the AFL, but its the gift that keeps on giving.

Maybe next year their can qualify for the finals by playing in the VFL? As long as they get beaten by 1 point in the grand final it would all be worth it!

Oh even better if the mighty Dees the ones who beat them in the grandy.

Collingwood finished 13th in 2017, top of the bottom 6 and therefore got the "bottom 6" draw benefits.  It is imperfect but they had a very good year and deserved their good outcome.  I don't see their runner-up result as an anomaly given their season overall.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
