It was going to be a stretch anyway with Cats and Port to play before us

    If they lose tonight they can still make it but would have to win all three and get in on 9.5

    If they win they will jump up into 8th tonight.

    Joe’s kicking is a joke. 

    Can't believe anyone on here talked him up. Yeah he has his "on" days but nights like tonight is the norm rather than the exception. Totally overrated because Essendon and because Daniher.  If he was Joe Bloggs no-one would be much interested.

    This game certainly isn't over. Ball has spent the entire quarter in Essendon's forward half. West Coast are just trying to eat up time but aren't getting the ball forward. Dam wall could break at some point.

    Oh dear, how sad...an Essendon loss

    Was a blatant 50m not given for 2 players encroaching the protected area, one each side, one raised hands to block kick, from the pass to Mosquito's ahead of his missed set shot with 5 mins to go.

    Would've been a 30 meter shot directly in front and likely made it very interesting

    Really poor umpiring non-call

    Essendon's beaten Collingwood and the bottom 5. 

    They do, however, get Geelong off a bye - Geelong are on a 0-8 streak in games played after byes during the home and away season and I believe on a 1-12 streak including finals.

    Does Joe have two giant Toblerones strapped to his boots??

    inexplicably bad kicking. 
     

    next up for the cheats - Cats and Port ?

    The scary thing about that game is that Essendon nearly won

    Saw that. Unbelievable. For all the rubbish ones they give out this was the perfect example why they brought in the rule in the first place.

    Watching Hawthorn lose to the winless Crows, no matter if there tanking or not is so Melbourne but so much more enjoyable. Long may it continue, hopefully a minimum of 50 years of being rubbish and irrelevant.

    I asked my Hawthorn mate if it was Sherman or Abrams. He said Sherman.  He then replied "To be fair I think the crows are one of the best 0-13 teams I’ve seen!" ?

    I don't necessarily agree. They got close but lacked class and their system was rubbish c.f.the eagles who seemed to be on autopilot at times.

    And no Kennedy and no Shuey.

    First of three games for WCE in 9 days.  Next two against Dogs and Saints.  Difficult to envisage them winning both.  To stay in 4th place they definitely need to win one as Tigs have Adelaide and Freo.  If we want to avoid an elimination final in Perth or against Tigs, we need to finish 6th or 7th so as to play Pies.  Saints or Giants or Dogs to get 8th.  That means three wins required and a percentage boost to comfortably be above Saints.  It starts tomorrow night.....

    So when do Hawthorn get relegated?

    * story from June

    Hawthorn must be hurting financially.  Their finances have been underpinned by revenue from Tas government and tens of millions in pokie revenue.  Both sources have dried up.  They won't be getting much from pokies in the first few months of the next AFL financial year.  And who knows if the Tas gov't will continue with their agreement when it expires.

    A new day of reckoning has arrived for the Hawks on and off the field.  Back to join the cellar dwellers for a while.:lol:

    It would be great if the commentators could stop pretending this last few games is anything other than Daniher's farewell tour ?

    Yep, a tough stretch for West Coast away from Perth and missing some players.

    The key issue for us is that if they drop either of the Dogs/Saints games they will be helping those sides get to 10 wins. If the Eagles win both, it keeps alive the possibility that we can qualify for finals on 9 wins.

    Exactly Titan and that's why I don't think 9 wins will do it for the Dees, even with a good percentage.  I can see Giants getting to 10 wins and one or other of Dogs / Saints and I wouldn't want to rely on Pies losing all three.   Need three wins for mine.....

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
