You know you're having a bad season when a draw increases your percentage by 3%.

I'd go as far to say it's impossible. ?

Hawks playing okay. The SCG is a shizen ground for footy. Why couldn't we play the filth at giants stadium ?

They probably thought the SCG would get more neutrals (ie: Swans Supporters) through the gates but I doubt it will.

Would be huge if Hawthorn gets this win.

Look at Richmond's draw from here. They've been given an absolute platter.

They can easily slot into top 4.

Well to be fair to them, they'e already played six top 8 sides, but yes, after this week they only have two more to come.

Frosty. Gotta love his enthusiasm and athleticism, but not his higher cerebral functions. ?

Free kick Hawthorn in full flight. 21-9 at 3/4 time, Swans getting murdered by the umpires

Yes … the numbers are as stated, but how many have been wrong, or even “controversial”?

This game looks over.

Sydney's next four are Port (away), West Coast, the Dogs (away) and GWS (away). They only have three games left for the season at the SCG (given they had one flipped to last week).

If they drop those four games, they'll be 8-9.

They'll likely win at least one, but this will hurt their top 4 chances.

Is this result good for us ??

Sydney are not really threatening for the flag but this might give the tigers a sniff of the top 4

Anyone beats anyone on their day.

So,

1. Adelaide result not so bad?

2. Beware Dees. Every week.

That's right.

Starting this week vs Collingwood.

Sydney's 3-1 against the top 8, but they're now 5-4 against the bottom 10.

They also have a great set of double-up games: not one of them is against the top 8 (GWS, GC, Fremantle, Essendon, St Kilda).

There have been at least two games that Sydney has been lucky to win.

The thing I really don’t get is the 7 commentary alluding to Sydney getting a raw deal with the umps. Please

This result has zero relevance to us at all.

Got to hand it to Clarko. he is a genius they way he plans for games. As some of the media said clarko has had 10 days to plan for this and how to beat Sydney. It is a good win. 

Jai Newcombe 12 tackles in his first game after getting taken in the mid season draft a few weeks ago. There is a kid that just wants to play footy and will grab his chance and make the most of his opportunity.

Spot on.

Top four competition is coming from Dogs, Brisbane, Geelong, Richmond and Port. I'm not at all sold on Port.

Record vs top 8 sides:

  1. Melbourne - 5-0
  2. Geelong - 4-2
  3. Sydney - 3-1
  4. Dogs - 3-2
  5. Brisbane - 2-4
  6. West Coast - 1-2
  7. Port - 1-4
  8. Richmond - 1-5

Richmond is Richmond, so they should always be feared, but they need to prove themselves against top 8 sides in 2021.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
