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: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
