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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
