Holy [censored].. GWS dropping this game and by a big percentage means that this game is a HUGE must win game.

Its simple, we beat Collingwood, we go to 8th spot.

C'mon Dees let's dare to dream!

If this outcome doesn’t provide added incentive I don’t know what will. 
 

Simply

Must

Win.

    Not so fast. First, we have to win on Saturday without our two ruckmen.

    A win doesn't guarantee us a spot in the 8 - if Essendon beat St Kilda they'll take it and we'll stay 9th (with GWS 10th).

    Doesn't change the fact that this game for us this weekend is huge.

    Hmmm. When was the last time we had such a massive game with a lot riding on it against Collingwood...?

    Yep, that draw really [censored] everything up. Saints can easily drop this game Gresham being an out for them is huge.

    Last game of 2017. We should have eaten Collingwood up which would have given us a finals gig. Expectations was high to beat them comfortablyand we failed miserably.

    Good opportunity to see how Goodwin works with pressure on him. 
    The door is open, but we have to take the walk

    I want the saints to lose this week. Round 13 sees essendon play Richmond and the saints play the lions.

    If we can muster a win against the pies and the dogs we will leapfrog both teams whilst making life really hard for the pies and essentially knocking the dogs out of the finals race.

    GWS ... 2 goals from 'free kicks' ... free in every sense of the word.

    The umpiring was dreadful tonight.

    Summed up by the 3rd goal from a free to GWS...

    Just dreadful...

    Sydney opened the door to the eight  and has given us that chance to be even more motivated. We cannot afford to slip up now.

    This is a great opportunity for us to make a statement. Let's ruffle some feathers .

    Agree - obviously all depends on whether we can beat teams in the 6-12 range but I think St Kilda are vulnerable as they still have games against Bris, us and West Coast.

    The Swans have pretty much taken the Ferrari keys right out of GWS hands, tied a red ribbon on them and ditch them in the Dees direction to take advantage of the opportunity to floor it into the 8.

    On one hand we have only beaten teams currently 12th or lower.or the other hand we have let to the top 4 plus the tigers. 
     

    The season is poised beautifully to see where we really sit as we play 7 teams in roughly this middle group.

    If we can't beat teams in the 6-12 range then we don't really deserve a spot in the 8. We have a [censored] load of 8 point games coming up, keep winning and the ladder will take care of it's self

    Long run I don't think Essendon can compete for a finals spot. They've got too many games to come against the strong sides and I'm not convinced, at all, they can win enough of them to get to 10.

    And yes, I was hinting at Round 23 2017. This isn't as important given it's not a clear cut of "win and in", but it's still the most important game we've played this year.

    That Essendon draw did us no good at all.

    Had Essendon lost it would have opened up 2 spots in the 8 for us to take...Pies and Saints with both Bombers and Suns trailing us.

    Bombers beating the Saints is good but it gives the Bombers a big leg up. If Saints win it gets harder to take their spot.

    Lose to Collingwood and we will be well out of the 8.

    Looking increasingly likely we will need ten wins to make the 8 which is probably at least one win too many for us.

    LH I believe a Blues win is best for us as it puts to bed any chance of Freo making the 8 and we are yet to play them

    GWS are vulnerable but hard to see them losing to the Swans

    GWS now in mix do maybe 3  spots

    I like the look of Sydney’s younger players. That Rowbottom looks a really good prospect.

    Leon Cameron will surely go at seasons end.    Surprised hes lasted so many years actually.

     He was just handed the most insanely talented list ever with endless high end draft picks and assets and all he has to show is a 12 goal Grand Final loss.

    Thats a good analogy.

    They still have a load of talent and they have the academy so the list will be strong for a while yet.  if they bring in a great coach they can still pinch a flag or two sadly.

    Interesting that Geelong get a free after laying a dangerous tackle. Seems that even after all of the discussion following ANBs case, it still comes down to outcome and not action.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
