I’m not sure it’s ever easy to beat the Eagles in Perth. They are a 5 goal or more better team in Perth than playing away. Would be interesting to see their season broken into home and away results with respective %.

Not sure about percentage but they are 7-3 at home and 3-6 away from Perth.

But they're 1-2 in their last three home games, including a loss to North and a 10-goal loss to the Dogs. And the win before that was a 5-point win against Richmond.

    Yes, their form is ordinary, it’s just whether they lift after their bake from Simpson and being a big game re finals for them. 
    If Demons bring our A grade effort, we win.

    Yep.

    Bear in mind, also, that West Coast has only beaten a top 8 side once all year - Port Adelaide in Round 3.

    They're 1-5 against the top 8, with us and Brisbane to play.

    I’m just sick of always playing them in Perth, same as I’m always sick of playing Geelong away.

    Hopefully we get up and the AFL give us the Sunday graveyard time slot next week to recover (I guess next weeks game will have to be Sunday as a 5 day break is banned by AFLPA).

    And???????????

    Literally nothing thrown up by concerted googlesearching (If Mark McGowan held a press conference and nobody came, etc?...)

    From snippet on ABC news tonight, looks like it might have been to announce WA's response to (and acceptance of) NT saying no more WA freeloader access to Howard Springs quarantine.

    Nothing to see here...

    When was the last time we played the Eagles down in Melbourne?

    2014.

    8 straight H&A games away from Melbourne - two have been our home games sold to the NT, the other six have been away games.

    Since 2010 there have only been two years in which we haven't played West Coast in Perth - 2013 and 2015. That's 9 times in 11 seasons we've been sent to Perth to play the Eagles. In the same time period, we've played them in Melbourne three times, and one of those was at Marvel (2011). Two MCG games against them since 2010.

    Melksham's disposal is elite, and we need to have a look at him for the next couple of weeks.  I like his selection on that basis, but he needs to produce now, or he shouldn't be playing finals.!

    Agreed, the time for sloppiness from the Melk is well and truly over. He must execute his responsibilities to a higher level of mastery including the application of forward presssure. He can be a significant element of the match-winners circle, so he should participate at that level.

    Feel sorry for Hibberd. Has been a big reason for our success this year. Dropped in form last few games but certainly not alone.

    We can hope, in Hibberd's case, that he is being managed for fitness and restorative reasons to be capable of a great series of performances and shut-downs (his best asset) in the finals - or earlier, if he is showing great signs of readiness.

    I also can't shake the image of Vardy ruffling Max's hair after Ryan's mark. The audacity of the guy to do that after having his pants pulled down all day by Gawn was astounding. Having said that - he's not worth wasting any energy on. The dense [censored] would probably see it as a complement. 

    Maybe, if AVB gets lucky and is scheduled to play, he may have one little visit to Vardy during the game.

    Well said ...he has done a number on not a few good players this year and I hope to see him back.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
