Geez a port win and Dees win will give us a 2 game buffer at the top of the ladder. Fingers crossed we bring the pressure on Sunday.

    Wouldn't mind seeing the saints get up over the Cats. Highly unlikely though.

    Reckon GWS are a big chance against the Tiges.

    One morereason to dislike the Pies.......

    Rigging mark of the week....

    “We imagine it’ll be pretty hard for Checkers to beat Shai Bolton... Give it your all, Magpie Army,” the Magpies tweeted on Monday.

    The move proved a success, with the Magpies’ forward prevailing with just over half the fan vote.

    “Shoutout to the Magpie Army, you’ve done it,” Collingwood tweeted.

    The surprise voting result caused a storm of discussion on social media.

    “With all due respect to Brody, this wasn’t mark of the week. I reckon he would even agree with that,” Richmond great Matthew Richardson tweeted.

    Top of the ladder joy: as long as you keep winning at least one team falls further behind you in every other game!

    Example: If Port beat the Dogs, we go two games clear on top of the ladder.  But if the Dogs beat Port we go THREE games clear for securing a top-2 spot.

    When you're winning, everything is a win.

    I love that all the club and players have to think about is winning and the rest will take care of itself.

    Have now assumed we will be top 4 (well why not)

    Optimist says you want the interstate teams at 3 and 4. (Home ground advantage)

    Pessimist says you want to maximise the number of Vic teams in top 4 (avoids an interstate game)

    mmm I'll have to think on it but a Geelong loss would be nice either way

    I want the dogs to win as I would rather be 3 games clear of 3rd than 2 games clear of second. There is no difference between 1st and 2nd.

    Good point re. the Dogs over Port scenario. It's such an unfamiliar feeling as a (1980s onward) Melbourne supporter, this whole top-of-the-ladder caper!

    Keep waiting for the Cats to fall.  They are not good enough to bring consistent effort each week

    Who knows what you'll get with the Saints. could be an interesting game tonight

    Really good point.

    The only advantage of 1st over 2nd is you get the 8 day break into a GF if both sides qualify...which hasn't happened since 2014 (Sydney V Hawks)

    They are giving Geelong a talk up after beating up on the Tiges. 

    Hope they don't get consistency and the saints come waltzing in.

    There's no way that Geelong are premiership favourites like they crapped on at the start of the telecast

    They've missed so many easy shots, they should be up by 10 goals

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
