I'll say it again, Norf just look better at Hobart. They should just move there now.

Will be a Geelong style home advantage. Almost guaranteed finals every season with a half decent list and coach and won’t have to play home finals at MCG like Geelong has too sometimes.

    Actually we are missing a golden opportunity with Collingwood in the hole. 

    Collingwood, what a shambles of a club. We have too many clubs in Victoria, time for them to move to greener pastures. 

    I know, I'm dreaming.

    definitely a big decision coming up for josh kelly - he stays at gw$ and he's got a guaranteed $8m in his back pocket with another 8 years on an afl list

    but the query is does he want to stay? i can't see another club going close to the contract that awaits him with gw$

    A 2 losers draw. North shouldn’t have let that slip, and GWS shouldn’t have left it so late. Plus GWS need wins. The draw is essentially a loss.

    O North, how the b****y hell could you let that slip?

    What's with the whole "Clarkson's a genius" thing?

    Going into that game Sydney had already lost three times to bottom 10 sides.

    And Hawthorn's side in that game was, on average, older and more experienced than the one we're fielding tomorrow.

    Both teams just blew that. Nth gave up that 3/4 time lead and the giants had to come all the way back and I still can't work out how Lloyd in the final seconds could not register a behind. Forget about kicking for goal Lloyd just needed to kick a point. 

    At least the bummers have been pushed down to 11th. 

    Anyway here's hoping west coast beat the tigs later on.

    Weird and unexpected aspect of us sitting on top of the ladder…, is I don’t care about teams 5 wins below us playing for a slot in the final 8…

    used to really sweat that stuff, now it’s “meh” and ????.

     

    hahahaaaaaaa

     

    Go Demons.

    Yesterdays Crows/Saints game is the fourth game result corrupted by poor late umpires decision making. That free paid to Thilthorpe in the goal square is unbelievable. There is no way that was free kick. That was the kind of spoil seen a dozens of times every game and it’s just play on. 

    well you can make it five after north and giants

    Tigers v Eagles

    Listening to the commentators you would be forgiven for thinking it's first playing second

    Lets face it.
    Both these side have proved themselves recently.
    We are yet to do so.

    Still think WCE get a great run at home. A Richmond mark not paid and a clear WC throw let go in front of goal.. And I can't stand Richmond.

    We want West Coast to win this. Nobody needs Richmond in the top 4 come season end. Nobody.

    More like two old boxers slugging it out for that one last chance of glory

    The young ones are taking over... whether it will be us or Brisbane it won't be these two

    Richmond are gaining momentum over the last few weeks. I think they are our biggest threat this year. Finals experience is everything. We dont want them top four.

    This is a huge half coming up. If Richmond lose this, I don’t think they can finish top 4

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
