Selwood head high bump. 
 

“oh he’s probably okay”

”accidental”

here we go again

Selwood’s (to me) should be closer looked at than Green’s. He ran past the ball, collected the player head high, it was pure luck he didn’t get him worse. The action should be looked at, not the result.

Absolutely rapt.

I backed the Giants in on the punt tonight, out of hope more than anything. 
If we win we are back on the top 2 and maybe top if Essendon can beat the Dogs, which isn’t beyond the realms of possibility.

Just quietly though, I’m not keen on finishing top. Stats show teams that finish 2nd or 3rd and in that qualifying final go on to win the premiership.

Christian will show his very rare moment of consistency - consistently letting Selwood walk free.

I just want to finish on top of any of the interstate teams such as Port, to avoid a possible away final.

Can someone work out if Geeling lose tonight what does that mean in terms of how many wins we need to secure top 4?

Not sure if it makes a difference dazzle ...we may move to second but lets assume cats beat us in the final round..they are still above us and are chances of top four remain the same. Our destiny is in our hands. It could mean top two for us if we beat the cats though. I think we still need two wins for top four in case Swans storm home.

Although after watching this we shouldnt assume😁

Note to mfc...bring the pressure to Jeelong.

Yeah fair point mate.

Friggin Geelong - appealing for deliberate OOB when the ball didn't even go out.  I guess they thought that the crowd (BT says there is a crowd) would influence the maggot.

Geelong are the walking wounded tonight, Giants have just lost Daniel but they should have the fresher legs.

Goes to show that any team can put on a show if they bring intensity/pressure.

Hopefully Giants crash Geelong's percentage

Ideally we finish top and play Port finals week 1

Geelong % won't matter to us (unless they manage a draw sometime soon).

FFS  yet another 50 m free shot at goal - the maggots should get the coach's award from Scott

Green a genuine high tackle (no even a Selwoodesque one) in goal kicking range ignored.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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
