Doesn’t look good now…

Yeah he might not last the week. They were still a chance for the 8 and they’ve produced this.

The GC result is pleasing but scary at the same time.

Pleasing if they beat Brisbane, which helps us.

Scary as we have to play them next week.

Indeed.

Hopefully that will mean we don't take them lightly.

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.

I really thought they would chase Clarko hard, but he has said so many times that he is not leaving,  that I now wonder if it is Ross Lyon.

Media saying we can’t play them next week because of COVID quarantine issues. They could get stronger with the return of Holman and Ellis later in the year.  Anyway we have to beat them whenever we play, if we want to end up top 2.

In a weird way, not the worst time to be looking for a new coach, there's some (seemingly) good options around. Personally think Brad Scott would be a good fit for the Blues, but media saying he's the front runner for the Pies job.

Yeah that it. If they continue and knock off Brisbane, the less likely we are to take them lightly

Go gold coast. It would be great if they could win. Also be handy if the saints could knock of west coast. 

Gee a bit surprised by how easily nth beat Carlton. They have had a few good weeks the blues. A shame nth couldn't produce that performance last week but I guess having Cunnington back makes a difference.

Can I just say, the way umpires are officiating the holding the ball rule is a blight on the game. I guarantee tonight we'll be pulling our hair out at the lack of holding the ball.

No, we will be pinged relentlessly in a millisecond, while the Digs will throw the ball and hold it while tackled with impugnity.

Why should anything change.

The GC have been slaughtered in the 3rd quarter by the umpires and their pathetic disposal. It is beyond belief how bad it has been this quarter.

They need one quarter like their first 2 and they can still win.

And in 20 seconds into the last the GC Captain kicks it to a Lion in their goal square. Unbelievable. Really inspiring.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
