I will take a Carlton win any day. If we can not protect our place in the eight from here we just not deserve to be in it. Also helps to jump to 6th or 7th. 

Carn the Blue-baggers...

How good was Fevola, loved seeing him start that 1QT brawl... Gold

    Blues have choked the 2nd Half very badly. 
    it is an open game and they have kicked 7 goals

    Clear free kick to Betts that would have put the Blues in front and then 3 quick goals to the Pies and game over.

    Both teams were substandard

    Casboult particularly disappointing

    Does a Collingwood win help or hurt us, i know we should take our destiny into our own hands but in terms of the ladder, is this good for us?

    Was lost for words, such a joke.

    Hurts us, basically guarantees pies a spot in the 8 if they win 1 more. One less spot up for grabs by those fighting to get in

    Just to add Expect in 2 weeks, dees gws and saints will all be on 9 wins with only % separating us. With one sitting 9th

    Carlton are so soft. 4 points in a second half against their fierce rivals. Now they're out of finals contention the AFL can move them out of the RACV Noosa Resort and into the local caravan park to finish the season.

    So it's a blunder now?  Talk about manufacturing a story from sweet FA.

    Hopefully Carlton can knock over GWS next week but I doubt it.

    If it's not West Coast in Perth it is Richmond or Geelong or less likely Port or Brisbane at their home grounds.

    Finishing 8th would be a nightmare whichever way you look at it.

    ..... but better than finishing 9th, which gives zero chance of advancing at all ?

    Must say I like the jaguar symbol on the back of our jumper. Most of the car logos are rather nondescript.

    Took me years to work out who SEW were on the back of the hawks jumper.

    Yeah, the truth doesn't sound so sensationalist...

    IMO - it helps in that in now knocks Blues out of finals race, and Collingwood are still catchable by Dees . They were less than impressive today and they have a tough draw, one less game and I would rather meet them if we make finals than Blues.

    One less contender. I think the Saints could also well be worried with their run home.

    Dees have to win nevertheless.

    Dees will be well into the 8 in your scenario, as if all teams win the next two matches then % rankings should probably staty the same with GWS in 9th spot. A 10% gap can't be made up in low scoring and shorter games .  Apart from us, no 60 point blowouts to worry about.

    Saints may well win but only a 2% gap between them and Dees which could be made up and put the saints lowre than us.

    In additon, as a possible early Christmas bonus,  if the Lions beat the Pies next week, as I suspect, then Pies next have a bye and could drop out of thge 8 altogether by end of next two rounds.

    Yes but Blues would have been on our tail as well.

    Best result was a Blues win. This outcome 2nd best.

    • 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.
