That game played out like you'd expect our game to next week. Brisbane getting a stack of it inside 50 and a stack of shots on goal, but failing to take their chances. St Kilda keeping their forward half open and using speed and run to make the most of it.

If we're going to go down the same road, goalkicking accuracy is critical. 

Fingers crossed we have our kicking boots from the Pies game and not the dogs game then.

Moving on to different games, fingers crossed the Weagles get the job done against GWS today, and maybe pray from an upset from the Kangas. I could actually see that happening, Pies are so depleted and who knows maybe something random could happen for Shaw.

    Only 1 thing in our favour for next week. St Kildas inconsistancy.

    Based on what? They've been one of the more consistent teams this year.

    Meth coke are a class above. The only good thing about our predicament we don’t have to play them as they would slaughter us. Who need another 2018 prelim final. Evidently there is equalisation in the AFL. Can someone rationally explain how they got Kelly arguably the best player in the AFL last year. Salary cap my a**e

    Brereton is Right. 
    the pressure within the Eagles fwd line is immense and unrelenting 

    The Nik Nat Snap goal

    We do that maybe once a year

    Wasn't there a rule that if a player gets 3 fines in one year the third is an automatic 1 week suspension.  Jordan Lewis was hit with this a few years ago when he played for us.

    I wonder if that rule is still in place? 

    Either way, it looks like a cop out by Christian.  Deliberate, low impact, high impact = 1 week holiday.

    Watch the Tribunal just give Lynch a fine...

    I'm pretty sure that was lumped in with the points based system which for me confused the whole thing, particularly when they then brought in the 10% downgrade for an early plea. They took out that system because people didn't like the carry over points.

    I would've thought the simple option is that if you have been given a low grade reprimand for a gut punch, low impact strike, or low sling tackle that puts you on an offender list that takes say 5 games to wipe off and if you do something low impact again you get a one match ban. Similar to the yellow card system in football.

    It stops players from doing the cheap little shots that isn't enough for a suspension straight off but then repeat offences gets a ban.

    EDIT: Just going with my 5 game offender list, I also think it should take 5 games PLAYED to clear your name. They can be VFL games but you shouldn't get a free pass from injury.

    Somehow we need nth to upset the pies. Not only will it keep us in touch with the 8 but seeing the pies lose would be great.

    Luke Dahlhaus just got a week for the identical tackle that ANB got 4 weeks for, with one exception, the victim wasn’t concussed. That is pathetic in that penalty is now decided not by intent, or legality of action, but on any injury that occurs. 
    Punch a bloke in the face, which is an illegal act, but if victim not injured, result is a fine or 1 week. 
    This is ridiculous. 
    AFL now more concerned with staging.

    This nth/filth match is beyond a joke. The worst football I have seen in ages.

    What a joke

    4 weeks/1 week for the same action

    Corruption is the only word for it

    Couldn’t care less if it’s the worst match in the history of the game, if North get the win that’ll be awesome on so many levels!

    Magpies have the cue in the rack. Can’t even play well against North

    This was what Gil said after Burgoyne got away with the first tackle this year:

    AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan said the change would ensure the potential injury of a hazardous tackle would be taken into account by the match review officer when grading an incident.

    “We want to be clear; protection of the head is our highest priority and we want all players at all levels and age groups to better understand that these tackles shouldn’t be part of our game.

    “Dangerous tackles have the potential to cause head injuries, and it is essential that this is taken into account when assessing an incident under the AFL Tribunal guidelines.”

    What an absolute load of bull?!

    Corrupt is the only word.

    This is a terrible game of footy.

    The consistent this season is that C/Wood have been in many terrible games.

    Their game plan and personnel keep throwing up rubbish games.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
