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.

    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: 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.
