    Agree with you about the Bombers, but the Pies are right up there in the good lovin' the umps dish out. Not many teams go to Perth and end up plus 3 for frees. Both Ess and Coll are very much part of the AFL's agenda.

    Ben Cunnington has done it again

    I am still [censored] off from when he hit Bernie Vince. He needs to be dealt with. The MRP won’t touch him

    It looked like he actually punched the ball which was being held by Merrett. Possibly the inside of this forearm was over the shoulder.

    With his back to the umps, Merrett milked it for all its worth, got up spritley and took the kick.

    Over the shoulder free? Ok. Punch to the gut or head? No.

    But the media will manufacture outrage from it and he'll get a week for appearances.

    Collingwood win, bummers win. Not a great 48 hours. 

    Crows already 22 up over the suns at 1/4 time. That could be a nasty result for the suns.

    Fact is, I often look to deep mismatch games like that with an edge of hope, looking for someone to replace the 186 misery. Would you believe I put myself through watching the 'highlights' on youtube the other day? Quite the experience, and here we are with Adelaide kicking a goal every three minutes and it still isn't enough to compete with that dark dark moment.

    Never forget. Always seek revenge. Against everyone. Like Captain Colostomy.

    Meanwhile, we all have to rely on Port and the Crows to keep Essenscum out of finals. How odious.

    I was sitting next an Eagles mate last night who tried telling me Margetts never gives them anything.  Margetts had just given a 50/50 Pies way, but I couldn't contain myself, just looked at my mate and said are you for feckin real

    Gold Coast teams don't work, that place is cursed! It's almost like they need to build the team from scratch again.

    Reminds me of the 2007 Grand Final party I went to. Nearly everyone had lost interest after half time and retired to the rear deck. Sometime in the last quarter they were surprised when one of the few still watching the TV let out a massive joyous holler. I was celebrating. Port had just acquired the biggest losing grand final margin of all time. ’88 could sink a little further into the depths of history.

    The Gold Coast need to be killed off. But the AFL won’t do it. 

    They will drain the talent pool further...

    I am the same. My hopes are raised when there is a likely thrashing but it never gets remotely close to 186. I still live in hope though ?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
