    Good result tonight.

    If we go 4-2 for the rest of the year, we sow up a top 3 spot and avoid a week 1 interstate trip.

    The destiny is well and truly in our own hands and we only have ourselves to blame if we drop games to one or more of Hawthorn, GC , West coast or Adelaide.

    Yes he is - and he has lots of company.

    Tonight James Brayshaw described the way in which Harris Andrews knocked the ball over the boundary line as being "laconic".

    BT, in his infinite wisdom, agreed. "Yes that was laconic". 

    Brayshaw is a serial offender - could someone please direct him to dictionary.com. He may well stop embarrassing himself should he learn the meaning of the word.

    Guy hasn't won the hardball when a match was on the line in his career. At least 2/3 of his career goals must have been in junk-time.

    I take from your comments you don't like him, and he isn't my favourite by a long stretch, but I think this is way off the mark.

    Richmond did us a favour this week and thankyou. However they will come a cropper against geelong and no longer be relevant for the year. If we finish 3rd does not matter as it will be against bulldogs or that rubbish from geelong. Don't want to play the bears or Port at their home grounds.

    Yeah, that’s right… he only kicked those six goals and played a brilliant 300th game, because he wanted all of the attention ??. 

    What a ridiculous comment! The guy is an absolute star!

    You don’t watch a lot of games other than Dees games, do you.

    Look sure, it was a dumb comment. He's a great player, but I'm still entitled to dislike the guy. Joel Selwood's a gun too, but I can't stand him either!

    His off-field persona just puts me off. I still remember his comments last year decrying how outrageous it was that players were asked to take a modest paycut to keep the AFL afloat, while coaches and support staff were losing their jobs entirely (not to mention how tone-deaf it was at a time when so many ordinary people were losing jobs and businesses were going broke). Really sullied my opinion of the guy, that's all.

    riewoldt has been, and remains, one of the best key forwards in the competition for a long, long time

    we picked frawley the pick before he was selected, i seem to recall?

    Yes, and for a while we thought we were the winners in that one. 

    Maybe the compo pick from Frawley helps balance it a bit.

    Yep that's fair enough

    I'll be happy if Brisbane finish third or fourth. They lack leadership, pace and midfield depth. We have them easily covered.

    As an aside I'd love McCluggage to announce he wants to return to Victoria and nominate the Dees. Great player.

    A lot of results have gone our way over the last couple of rounds. We have a real opportunity to lock in a top two or top four spot.

    He took a couple big marks early in the 1st Grand Final win.
    Missed the shots but he was huge getting them going.
    Earned abit of my respect that game.

    Fair enough; I didn’t have any issue with your opinion of him as an individual, but thought your targeting of his abilities as a player were way off the mark.

    Right result for us last night. Reckon us Cats and Doggies will finish top 3 now and avoid the inter-state qualifying final (although who knows where and even when we'll be playing finals).

    Riewoldt has had a stellar career. 300 games and 700+ goals speaks for itself. He deserved to play and celebrate his great achievement at the G last night

    He's also a sook and a crybaby and has played in one of the most dislikeable teams ever to grace the game (and as for his advice to Kozzie earlier in the season - he can stick it)

    What we have to worry about is reduced seating capacity due to Covid may see a final played in Geelong , so we definitely don’t want them finishing above us.

    Great day of footy coming up. We've an interest in all the games.

    saints are playing well so hopefully can get up against port.

    Suns are in great touch and are a chance to spring a surprise against the doggies. If they can get the job done i might even change my mind about disbanding them

    A crunching collision with Mitch Robinson. Totally accidental. Kidney injuries can be very serious. Could be missing a long time.

    • 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?

      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?
