    yep....like newspapers the club is slowly dying OD.

    We're there to make up the numbers these days.

    Going to be hard times for a few clubs post 2021 and the power clubs will show their teeth. Kennett has already had a go.

    They had 4 a piece in the first quarter and were actually playing fast attacking football.

    So is it safe to assume the norm has returned?

    Carlton appear well Coached. Whether they win or lose today, they are playing well and continually finding loose men up forward. They appear to know exactly what they are doing and  are an improved side.

    Hard to say this but Carlton have gone right past us as a football team since we towelled them up in the first quarter of round 2.

    Smart recruiting and a coach that plays players to their strengths.

    They've sped right right past us alright.

    That was silly/selfish of Dixon.

    Rushed his set shot because he was concerned about the ump sending him off for the blood rule.

    Like the Geelong vs Carlton game.
    Port should be up by 20.

    Port after the siren.

    That was a cracking port/blues game.  Port lucky not to lose it in those last 3 points from dead in front, gray saved them.

    Fun Fact. Essendon have four wins.  Three of them are against; Kangaroos (17th)  Swans (16th) and Freo (14th) and next week they play Adelaide (18th).

    Meanwhile, Hawthorn, at 13th, is the lowest ranked team we've played against and next week we have Brisbane.

    Our destinies are somewhat woven together because of the missed game, but it should be fun watching Essendon slide as the season goes ahead while we have a whole bunch of difficult teams we wont need to see again until finals.

    Definitely looking forward the re-match, too.

    If we're any good (today will tell us a bit about that), then I agree with you.

    We'll still have games this year vs Adelaide, North, Sydney and Fremantle.

    I hate the phrase "gone past us".

    Interestingly, if we win today, we'll have as many wins as Carlton, with a game in hand, and if we win by roughly 46 points, we'll pass Carlton on the ladder (with that game in hand).

    Yes, we could also lose and stay in the bottom 4, but the idea that Carlton has "gone right past us" is a bit silly IMO.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
