I'm not optimistic about us winning our last two at all. I'm barely optimistic about us winning even one of them.

But, if we do win our last two, Carlton won't be passing us. 

The pessimistic outlook would suggest this: we lose our last two, Carlton beats Adelaide, Fremantle beats North, and we end up 13th.

Realistically I'd say we win 1 of 2 but that doesn't mean much. We have GWS and Essendon and the Blues have Adelaide and Bris so they are both interesting runs home.

Just annoying seeing Carlton win to be honest, in general.

    Well done Lewis Taylor you fat moron. Missed dead in front from 30m out after milking a free.

    Blatant staging. 

    pushed his head into Cripps arms. Terrible decision by the ump too

    On our pre-Sydney form, we should win both.

    On our Sydney/Fremantle form, we will lose both.

    Yep it was a terrible free and if it happened to us Demonland would have exploded if he'd kicked the goal.

    That was Sydney's only score from the 3 minute mark of the third quarter onwards.

    Losing to them last week is an absolute disgrace.

    Very much so & damning on both Coach & players

    Carlton may just have saved Goodwins neck last night, well that is if there is any fight left in the team for the last two games.

    Hi Old Dee,

    I can't work out how Carlton winning is favourable to Goodwin/MFC... elaborate?

    Well potentially we could still sneak into the eight. Long shot but still possible. If we make finals Goodwin will survive for 2021.

    Yes I understand this but Carlton beating Sydney has no bearing on our chances...looking at the ladder, no?

    Got it. The dogs beating West Coast has almost cancelled that GWS result out unfortunately, doggies are in the box seat now with an easy run home. The only hope we have is if Freo produce an upset over them in the last round OR us win our last two comfortably, StKilda lose their last two comfortably and we catch them on %. Either way, I don't like our chances. 

    I would almost prefer to miss and the blowtorch be stronger on Goodwin.

    How good was Sam Walsh. 20 yo and 2nd year. Dragged his team back. Fantastic 2nd quarter with 10 possessions 4 marks 3 tackles and a goal to make it a contest.

    Oversll disposals at 85% efficiency. 480 metres gained.  That’s what we need. A player with class. Have not had such a midfielder with class and elite skills since Flower in 70s and 80s.

    Don't disagree with any of that but it has us getting one last gasp of air RF. I seriously doubt it will happen but as the result all year  show it is the most unpredictable season ever.

    I also wouldn't dismiss the Hawks either... they are due for a win. Had a shocking loss to Adelaide, but nearly beat Saints, Essendon, and Port. Their last win was in Round 9 against Carlton. Could be another upset looming!

    Agreed. The best coach of the last 20 years won't stand for it.

    The big knock on Walsh all year has been his kicking. Turns it over so much (he had two chances to give Carlton a shot to beat us in Round 2, for one example).

    In saying that, apparently he hasn't missed a game since he debuted in Round 1 last year. Great effort for a 19-year old. Justifying being picked number 1.

    He's their most complete midfielder in my opinion, even moreso than Cripps. Think the knock on his disposal is a bit exaggerated. The level of consistency he's been able to display at 19 has been pretty special.

    Lewis should stick to stealing car seat belt buckles.

    Do people do that?

    I can't either. IMO the Blues are a poorish team as shown by their appalling 2nd half against the Pies. So they get up and beat the Swans in a huge comeback and just emphasise how winnable the Swans game should have been and exacerbates Goodwins inablility o get the team up for crunch games when they revert to type.

    Amazing, I've heard people get old seat belt buckles to have permanently in the holder so the warning sounds stay off but didn't didn't think it would be an AFL footballer.

    Wouldn't you be better off just wearing your seatbelt to keep the warning sounds off?

    • 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.
