And 20 questions. 

I'm thinking of a coach.

Does he like to play tennis?

Too complex for Collingwood players. I would have been concerned about I Spy, too, but being in Queensland means they can keep it simple by saying each time that it starts with XXXX.

    Did you take that photo Fork?

    Nah, my wife did though. Plenty of Dees supporters in Yuendumu and nearby Nyirrpi. Tickets to this year’s Alice game will be a premium!

    Watch the Eagles collapse in a heap now that they're back on the road.

    One can only hope.

    So we know Pies/Dogs/Saints then most likely R17/18 Freo/Swans, Essendon looks like Rd15 so leaves GWS as R16

    Next 2 weeks are vital to playing finals, come away with 2 wins and we are right in the hunt, 2 losses ends our chances 1 win 1 loss makes it really hard but still can win 4 out of last 5 to make it.

    So we have Pies Bulldogs and  Saints ahead

    Who is left to play?

    Swans Essendon Freo  GWS

    Surely we can almost win all of these  we are playing good footy and have few injuries and we seem to be a very fit side

    12 wins and a couple of finals 

    the end to a difficult year Go Dees

    NO! NO! NNNOOOO!

    Not ...we can almost............WE CAN....MUST..........win all of these....... Same reasons ..........and a Grand final.

    If the coach hasn't got the players that realise this season is there for the take Ng and we have a squad to continue for the next few years.

    We have to prise the window open but it is definitely there for us.

    GO DEES

    That Essendon game being canned was always going to come back and bite. Another brutal run of matches, all in warmer conditions no less.

    That fixture is absurd.     Four games in 14 days.   

    Basically no chance Luke Jackson will play again this season now.

    Saving him for the grand final.

    I'm packing the car to Cairns. Pretty confident I can get into Cazalys with or without a ticket.

    The positive is we only meet one team that comes off a longer break than us - Freo has 5 days v our 4 into that match.

    All other games we either have the same break (Syd 5 v 5) or a longer break (Bulldogs 7 v 6), (Saints 7 v 6) and (GWS 5 v 4)

    Playing round 17 on Saturday you would think a 5 day break is a short as it will be for the round 18 match. 

    If we stay fit cant see us losing one from here haha

    two Saturday night prime slots and one lone Monday night slot is good for the sponsors

    Winnable games all. Keep the injuries to a minimum and I'd back us to win 4 or hopefully 5 and make finals

  • Quote

    So we have a four day break vs Freo, who have an extra day. And a five day break vs GWS, who have a four day break.

    Hopefully Freo are out of contention for finals by the time we play them.

    I don't see it as being too bad:

    Round 14 comes after 4 rounds a week apart Sat (13), Sat(12), Sat(11), Sun(10).

    Sure rnds 15 (Swans, Thurs), 16 (Freo, Mon) and 17 (Giants, Sat) will be a bit nasty but then we have another 7 day break to rnd 18.

    And some bright notes: we can stay in Cairns for the Syd and Freo games and we do not play any team that is coming off a bye.

    Without comparing I suspect it is no worse than most teams.

     

    It looks like the AFL is saving the Ess game to see if is a play-off for a spot in the 8.

    Meanwhile Brisbane have not left the state since round 1and the furthest they've travelled is an hour to Metricon. 

    They'll be filthy they have to fly to Cairns for 1 match.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
