We should never have had to rely on Tassie Northorn. 
Never have trusted them.

Our own fault of course. 
 

I will have to do another first - GO SUNS.

    No need running for the razor blades until next week - Freo on a huge roll & will be tough for Doggies.

    It shouldn’t cost us. Bulldogs can only jump our percentage if they win (or we lose) and they will jump us anyway in that case

    It wasn't as damaging percentage wise as it was looking early.

    I hope that Gunston no score doesn't cost us in the end.

    Such a Melbourne result if it does.

    It can't hurt us

    We must win, Dogs must lose for % to matter. If that happens our % is already higher and getting better

    Dont write off the Suns tomorrow night, give them a much bigger chance than the Dorks today.

    Thankfully the second half didn't play out like the first. A win and a Dogs loss next week and we play finals.

    The Dogs have been good against bottom 10 sides all year so the odds are against us, but I see a Dogs loss to Fremantle as more likely than Collingwood losing both games.

    MFCSS says we miss out on percentage to St Kilda.

    Can someone perhaps start a thread following all this, together with info on percentages etc.?

    Go Suns but can't see it.  Need for GWS to put the Saints away on Friday night.  We will then know the equation for Sat afternoon....and we want a dry deck to facilitate high scoring against the druggies.  If that doesn't do the trick, get on the Freo bandwagon on Sunday......

    One hurdle at least was jumped for us in that the Dogs were looking at a 12 goal win and the Hawks kept it to 6.

    Thus they cannot beat our % if they lose next week and we win. Otherwise we would be 9th on a lower % .

    The dogs now MUST beat freo to stay in the 8, and cannot afford to cruise to avoid injury.

    Small mercy but it all adds up.

    They will next weekend as we did in 2017. Freo are not now playing like a bottom side and have an excellent strategic coach in Longmuir. GWS showed how to put the Dogs away in last years finals. Aggressively tag Bontempelli

    A Suns win is not impossible against the Pies.

    Big Monday night football coming up.

    Hopefully no Bruce to commentate

    Longmuir was probably part of taking us down in 2017. Hopefully he can do us the favour this time

    Need a large sinkhole to take out Pies during qtr time huddle. Only ever see those under motorways in the States but hey - it's 2020.....

    I don’t see the suns beating Collingwood. Our best chance is GWS beating saints then us taking the percentage into our own hands against Essendon. Freo is also a decent chance

    Agree. And he was often quoted as a key reason Buckley got the Pies to the 2018 GF as part of that coaching squad.

    And they have the mighty Nat Fyffe as a foil to the Bont.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
