    Feel your pain. We can't go to the G either obviously. Covid is a biatch

    Should be a good game in Metricon today though. You can provide a scouting report on the Suns. They've been playing well and will be difficult opponents for us next week

    Watching other top 4 teams put away bottom sides vs us struggling go figure

    28 points is hardly putting a team away.

    We beat the Dogs by 28.

    If the news report is correct that Pendlebury has a broken leg that could be the end of a great career.

    Amazingly consistent contributor. I suspect he would make a good line coach if he decides to go that way.

    why do people assume a good player will make a good coach?

    how do you teach someone how to move thru traffic like pendles?

    Start of rd I led the work tipping by 4.

    I took Pies over Carlton. My best mate said Blues would win and that Pies are tanking. I asked why, you’ve already got Daicos and you just beat the Tigers. His answer was to use less points. I honestly believe they had the better team going into last week yet seemingly went home at 3/4 time.

    Took Lions over Tigers, must of been only person not aware it was Reiwoldt’s 300th game. Still after being burnt by tigers four weeks running I jumped off, also thought Lions would have point to prove.

    Headed into this week with a 2 point lead.

    We have to have our tips in 2 days before first game, so I took Carlton, then McKay pulls out yesterday. I was seriously considering taking North before this but with things so close went back to the North/Hawks/Pies will tank from here on in theory….

    Took it each way in a few multis, very interested to see how this plays out.

    Just saw 2 players run within a couple of metres of the player with the mark and then a player swung 360 with the ball and then hold it, while he booked an uber and guess what, play on, nothing to see here. I think back to Gawn’s 50 penalty last week, which cost a goal, when he was about 30 metres from the player with the mark and was following his man and the Tracc holding the ball, after a 1 second tackle on him.

    I have loved the consistency of umpiring this season.

    It's a long way better than a loss to bottom six sides or a draw against Hawthorn who  have not been able to beat time with a stick.

    Huge round for us.

    If we lose and Brisbane and Sydney both win, we'll be 1.5 games safe inside the 8 with 4 to come. Puts our top 4 spot in the most jeopardy it's been for the entire season.

    But of course, if we win and Brisbane and Sydney both lose, we'll be 3.5 games safe inside the 8 with 4 to come, which means we'd only have to win one more game for the rest of the season to lock in the top 4.

    Still not convinced Carlton have a good list, on this showing they need a lot. And Davies-Uniacke is becoming a serious player.

    Carlton are still coming…

    Are they tanking to get a bottom pick for Cerra?  Petrevski Seton wanted by Dockers and together with a high pick and something else, might get a deal done.

    PS: I know players don’t tank.

    There's no way they're tanking.

    For one, they're not going to slide lower than one more spot on the ladder. So it's a one pick benefit.

    For another, they were still, going into this week, very much in the finals race. If the favourites win this weekend Carlton would, with a win, end up one game out of the 8.

    It’s possible. But I doubt it. The Coach is under the sword so i would expect the players to be going hard. 
    They are just a very average list that is paid way too much

    Just a matter of when rather than if. Can't totally blame him in a way, that panel he has looks like a very very weak one, but he's the boss so he pays the cost.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • 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?
