I don't think I'll ever stop being annoyed that we lost that game against Adelaide. I mean, it may be the last thing I say before I die "I wish we hadn't lost to the bloody croowwssss…"

Then I cark it.

    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. 

    In no way am I having a go at you personally dees189227, but I am getting sick of the clarko is a genius stuff.

    He is a great coach and has clearly done well with all the flags, but I love how they beat the swans and he is a genius (you said it, but also all the papers and radio have run with it today).

    Just wondering how much of a genius he has been for the remainder of the games they have played this year?

    Just a little gripe of mine.

    2.  Taking a mark in the forward line then walking back not facing the goals.

    Don't turn your back on the play! It's like a bowler not getting behind the stumps for the fielder's throw in. Or a batsman turning for a second run with his back to the fielder.

    It's so basic to the craft, it's a miracle that coaches allow it.

    We also see so many players who are one sided and practically helpless on their "wrong" side. About as good on their "wrong" side as I am on my "right" side. What are they being taught?

    They're also not allowed to do goal shooting practice. In case it interferes with the things that can win matches. It's upside down land.

    Yes we were done over by the maggots in the last few plays, but we should never have allowed them back into range after mid Q4, with our superior fitness. 
    IMO the defence looked disorganized … missed Salem more than realized.  
    And overall a team only needs to be a little bit off and … bingo. 
    Just hope we have learned from the experience (Goody’s “learnings”) and don’t let it happen again.

    Will need to be right on song on Monday.

    Colonwood will either be flat as a pancake in which case we should be relentless to boost %, or really switched on and will take a full team effort to overcome  

    And, yes … Adelaide very ordinary tonight.

    Easier to be a genius when you pick up players like Franklin, Hodge, Roughead, Rioli, Lewis and Mitchell in successive drafts then have the rest of the competition hobbled by the expansion teams of GC and GWS while you're on top.

    I won't be convinced of his genius till he does it again.
    Either with Hawthorn or some other club.

    Whatever you think of him, his evolution of the flood into "Clarkos Cluster" changed the game and won flags. You don't three-peat by just being lucky.

    Sure helps for my reasons above.
    Also helps when the rest of the competition is hobbled in the draft and you're cherry picking players chasing success from opposition clubs.
    Same goes for Geelong through the same time period.

    I'm hoping the Crows win this. The saints fans are in mutinous mood as it is. Coughing up a 6 goal lead will tip them over the edge

    Umpires influencing this result too.

    BS free on the goal line and then two saints players held down on the mark and the ump just brings the kick back when it should have been reversed

    That's one of the worst misses ever. Just needed a point and missed the lot.

    No wonder we lost to this juggernaut. Crows a sneaky chance for the 8? Mathematically possible?

    Agree about the goal line free but this bolded part is absolute garbage. Umpire did the right thing by calling it back.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
