Geelong gifted a goal there. Blatantly touched by multiple players, should not have been paid a mark. 

And two Hawkins hands in the back before he took the “mark”.

    A year ago this week we put the hawks out of the finals. How good a night that was. 

    Anyway that was a shocking kick for goal by Danger then, for a champion player who has been around long enough. Should have done better.

    No. Should have done the team thing and not just pinged away.

    And last year we knocked the cats out a week earlier.
    And now we're still watching them and we got nowhere near it.
    Does my head in.

    Christian will say accidental, low impact, in play even though it was intentional, high and off the play.

    And since eye gouging has the go ahead, striking by a key ? in a final will be permitted. 

    That was selfish. Should have gone for the top of the square. 

    You should apply for a seat on the MRP Mono!

    This commentary could not be more biased if they tried. The sooner Seven lose the AFL broadcast rights, the better.

    Ugh now either richmond or the cats will be in the big one. West coast I was relying on you to knock the cats out. 

    If it's a collingwood v geelong/richmond grand final then I may leave the state. 

    So now Im relying on a brisbane or GWS to somehow win. I hope it's brisbane but I can't see them able to beat collingwood next week. 

    This is all hawthorns fault. They stuffed everything up when they beat west coast and west coast didn't get the top 4 and gifted collingwood a double chance. Yes I know west coast should have beaten them but ugh now I have to pin my hopes on brisbane or even the giants. 

    What a pathetic last quarter by the eagles. No goals, not 1 and they were meant to be stronger this year with Nic Nat, gaff and Shepard in there who ddin't play in last years gf.

    Eagles fell apart under pressure 

    Hawkins must get 2 weeks for hitting Schofield off the ball in the head 

    afl will be soft to bypass that hit but it’s likely. Greene gauges Bonts eyes and gets nudda but a flap of $$$ to pay

    LOL.  We are eternal optimists at the Demons.  Next year I will be in Africa for a month or two but timing it to be back for the finals.  And will be renewing 2 Redlegs memberships. 

    Maybe, I should say Demon Addicts rather than Demon Optimists!!:blink:

    Incidental contact, low impact, look away.

    Amazed how danger does little for 3qtr but lifts in the last.  Why doesn't he do it earlier?

    He’s either unfit or lazy or both. A couple of times when the opposition marked the ball or were paid a free near him and a team mate was on the mark he’d take their position on the mark making them run backwards.

    Well it’s mayhem here in Perth. 

    Supporters have pulled out the ‘Kerr, Cousins, Fletcher, Mainwaring, Gardiner, Rioli’ code of conduct booklet and are rioting in the street with glass bbq’s in hand. 

    I’m staying indoors today.

    Are they asking how come they could not kick a goal in that final quarter and just fell apart?

    I doubt the Tiggies will be shaking in their boots on tonight's performance.

    Agreed. I hope Richmond belt the crap out of geelong.

    I'm not happy about Sellwood being allowed to stay on the ground covered in blood.  It is arguable that we missed the top four last   season  because  Max  was dismissed  for the last minute at Geelong with the merest speck of blood on his lip.

    Was are people so impressed with Selwood just because he bleeds on the softest of contacts. He had a good game but only 5 contested possessions. He was smashed last year by the demons in finals and gave away undisciplined free kick which lost them the game. But that gets no attention.

    Will feel very dirty next Friday night. As much as I can’t stand Geelong I will be cheering them on against the Tigers. Hoping they somehow get over the line. Uncle and Aunty Richmond along with the cousins have become unbearable since their flag. Will not attend another family gathering if Richmond win the flag again. Yuk!!!

    • 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?
