If West Coast win all their Perth games from here they finish on 11. But their remaining Perth games include Richmond, the Dogs and us. 

So if they drop one of those home games, they'll need to find at least two, if not three, road wins, and that's just to make the finals, let alone top 4 which will be another 1-2 wins.

Their road wins are Carlton (in Sydney), Sydney, Adelaide, Collingwood and Brisbane.

Essentially that says to me if they drop the Carlton game next week they are in real trouble to even make the finals.

    He struggled without Allen to give him a chop out.

    Looks like he’s feasted too much on Mum’s traditional Dalo, Rou Rou, Miti with coconut  lolo all cooked in a Lovo oven with banana leaves.

    Was there a reason for Essendon not wearing their indigenous jumper today?

    Needs to drop at least 5 kegs.

    Reckon West Coast are the unfittest team in the league. We'll run all over the top of them we we play them later in the year.

    What’s the bet a dodgy free kick or non decision decides this game?

    I said the exact same thing to my my mates at half time when watching the Melbourne vs Crows game last week hahahah

    meth coke ran out of … whatever they took in their 1990s dominant period, and maybe the peptide kids found where they had hidden it?

    So many clubs now falling over each other to make up the numbers in the bottom half of the eight this year. Even Carlton and Adelaide can join the hoi polloi if they both win today.

    Significant win for Essendon and, given their relatively easy draw in the back half of the season, it might have given them a potential finals spot. This could spell big trouble for one of Sydney, West Coast or Richmond.

    WC were being severely punished for their "standby player" attitude in a familiar decision, coincidentally to the mob they were playing against yesterday. Plus some critical injuries.

    Covid really helping non melbourne based teams.

    It will nullify vic team home advantage which ironically is why interstate clubs do so well.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
