    1.St Kilda... Collingwood will be top 4 and we are looking for the bottom half of the 8

    2.Brisbane... keeps both Adelaide and Brisbane within a bulls roar of MFC

    3 Geelong (see 1)

    4. Freo... see 2

    5.North v Swans... probably irrelevant but if one needs to pick perhaps Swans .. would hate to be playin North for a spot in the 8 in Round 23 in Tasmania.

    6.Suns... see 2

    7. Richmond... will make the 8 whereas we compete with Hawthorn

    8. Giants but a Carlton upset would be okay

    I'm a bit the opposite. Would prefer Essendon to beat Freo and have as many teams on 4-5 as possible.

    Remarkably, if we lose to West Coast and GWS but knock off Adelaide in Darwin, the ladder could look like this after round 11:

    Fremantle 5-6  (8th)

    ---------------------------

    Hawthorn  5-6

    Port  5-6

    Essendon   5-6

    St Kilda  5-6

    Bulldogs  4-7

    North Melb   4-7

    Melbourne 4-7.

    We could still be in this thing despite losing 2 of our next 3 games.

    What an 'interesting' mess of a season. Keeps the possibilites just that little bit alight.

    Excellent to see Adelaide still not quite getting it together. Keeps my 'on the hunt' dreams alive for the NT game.

    I'll be at the Western Sydney / Carlton game tomorrow and will try to report as much as I can on GWS from up close.

     

    On another note, 'our' Bernie Vince seems to be going alright on the MMM commentary panel, currently doing Geelong-Bulldogs.

    Brisbane Lions have risen from the ashes.  Very exciting team.

    Heading to the MCG this afternoon to watch the Richmond V hawthorn game,

    Beautiful day for football. Hoping for a good game. I will be leaving at half time if it is a repeat of the Essendon v Freo game of last night.

    Maggots maintaining their pathetic performances in the Port v Suns game. 

    AFL needs to address this as a matter of urgency.

    Woeful.

    Another case where players stopped thinking a free would be paid in the Hawks/Tigers game. 

    RIP Holding the ball.

    At the mcg. Nowhere near the crowd I was expecting. Lots of people trying to get in but probably fifty thousand at best

    Hawthorn supporters must be the biggest bunch of fair weather, band-wagoners going around. They didn’t turn up last week either.

    It's a Richmond home game but I would say the crowd is around sixty forty tigers way so disappointing all round.

    The MCC section is very sparsely occupied. I'm in the AFL area and have a section of the stand for myself

    Anyone understand why Carlton would have to wear white against GWS?  How on earth would Navy Blue (with white shorts) clash with the GWS colours?  Defies logic.  Yeah.  I know.  It's the AFL.  Nuff said...!

    Same as asking why we wore our red-backed jumper on Friday night. We played West Coast in Perth twice last year and wore our normal jumper with white shorts both times. There's no clash at all between their royal blue/yellow and our navy blue.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
