It is what it is people. All we can do is beat the Bombers by even a point and wait for Sunday to see if Freo can give us a miracle. Yes I would be happy to play the Eagles in Perth. At least we are in a final and anything can happen on the day. Before that we need to win and Freo to win. Go Dees and Dockers.

If by some miracle we make the finals. Playing eagles in Perth will be the perfect opportunity for redemption. They are also very vulnerable at the moment.

    Has anyone considered the possibility that making the finals could be a bad long-term result for us? 

    I have?

    Even in the unlikely event that the Dogs lose, do we really want to play the Eagles in Perth? Not me.

    Surely it couldn't be worse than the prelim disaster.....actually??

    Pity that the standard by,  and including the AFL's pin up, nine GF's  experience umpires didn't rise to expectation in last night's performance, Saints against GWS.

    Am not aware of the stats here but it was disgraceful.

    The preconception that the Saints was the desired winner was palpable, even if GWS played deplorably.

    Coming into the Finals for a competition, having it exclaimed by their own Media that there are virtually NO RULES was staggering.....

    less likely, the quarters are much shorter, less scoring time and less likely for a blow out   :)

    Adelaide against Richmond........top game, play on game. Who would have thought you could have a game between the top side and the bottom side where free kicks could be paid without slowing the game down, but this is one.

    The thing is, it took until the last round of the year to realise it.

    Loved the fact that they paid marks, are starting to pay  kicking less than 15, but still need to be aware of kicking in danger....

    Hope next season we have no kicking backwards in the last five minutes of every game played.

    Ironic.

    In 2005, Doggies beat Pies in round 23 and took our place in the top 8.

    We needed to beat Essendon to make it. During the match the camera kept cutting to Bulldogs players watching the game and subsequently being devastated as we got over the line and pinched their spot in the finals by one game.

    Fast forward 15 years. We beat Essendon for a spot in the top 8, replacing the Bulldogs. 

    Except this time the Dogs have the chance to leapfrog us and make finals with a win over Freo. Do so and they pinch our spot in the top 8 by one game.

    Richmond flew to Adelaide yesterday. Yet we were not allowed. HQ are totally corrupt.

    We did. I was there.

    Would love to know why the Dogs (hubbbing in Gold Coast) were to allowed to travel to Cairns the day before while Melbourne had to basically swim the English channel to get to the game on game day for an earlier starting match.

    I expect Brisbane to win comfortably against carlton.

    On a side note you know the best thing about covid this footy season. It stuffed up essendons plans to celebrate there 20 year reunion and it stuffed up collingwoods plans to celebrate there 10 year reunion.

    AFL new love child? Some of these umpiring decisions are bewildering at the least

    Glad Carltank got Jack Martin. Guy plays a non existent brand of footy that's less than bruise free. How much did he cost them.

    Brisbane Lions player Oscar McInerney gut punches Walsh (Carlton) after a contest. 

    Luke Darcy : “Not much in that”

    James Brayshaw: “It’s a big mans prerogative” (WTF does that even mean)

    Channel 7 should be embarrassed that this is their commentators response to that punch.

    Walters out nearly seals our fate. Unless Hogan fires up, Freo have no firepower to kick a winning score.

    Guess we look to 2021. Ugh.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
