    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: 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?
