Never thought I'd be saying "go poos and wees"  !!!

When you want other teams to win for us they generally lose. Yes I know plenty on here will post we should worry about ourselves and win our own games.

    Gawn, May, Petracca, Oliver, Langdon, Brayshaw, Lever and Salem are probably our best and the 3 newbies all look good.

    Agree with most of that, but not convinced on Kossi yet. Might be too early to tell. Interesting that only one of them is a forward and only a part time one at that.

    Those late 2 St Kilda goals were very costly.

    The only way we’re playing finals is if we can chase down St Kilda’s percentage assuming they lose their last 2 games, and the Dogs lose tonight.

    If we win all three games (however unlikely that is) we make it

    We could possibly make it with 9 wins if the Saints have a couple of solid losses against quality sides and the Dogs lose tonight.

    St Kilda are actually vulnerable given their tough run home.

    Essendon got to the ground an hour before the game. 3.5 hour trip from the Goldy. Started like we did.

    If Collingwood lose to Gold Coast, that would also leave the door ajar. Gold Coast are no easy beats this year, and I'm still not keen on Collingwood's form.

    Watching Essendon is the perfect remedy for the blues I've got after Thursday's game. At least we aren't them is all I will say.

    Good clubs don’t make excuses.

    We continue to make excuses and remain a loser club.

    Has anyone at the club said anything about the fixture or the flying into Cairns?

    As far as I'm aware, no.

    The only people mentioning it are supporters.

    FWIW, we've had as hard a fixture as anyone this year. I heard someone previewing the Dogs-Eagles game tonight saying that the Dogs have a 4-3 record at Metricon this year. That's 7 games at the same venue - we haven't played more than 2 games at any venue all year. There is, in my view, no doubt at all that we've had to do it tougher than most in terms of moving around, acclimatising to conditions and ground sizes, and trying to get some sort of consistency to our "home" games.

    None of that is enough to explain the Sydney performance, but it is a factor to consider when the season is said and done.

    So mathematically let alone probability wise that's the end of the Bomber's season.

    Assuming our final round is a dead rubber who would you pick ?

    If its a dead rubber, us.  If we're alive and Essendon is dead, we all know the result ...

    Round about now I would have a hammy if I were a bombers player. You could relax and enjoy the weather on the gold coast for the next couple of weeks.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
