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.

These umps have NFI. 

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.

If the giants were a vic based team they would be under so much more scrutiny. 

If the Giants had supporters they would be under so much more scrutiny.

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.

Clarko surely?

 

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: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
