This game was not as important as the Swans losing, but wonderful to see the umpires lose a game they tried to win.

Good weekend.

OMG the Bont free kick situation has got completely out of hand

I only saw a few minutes but that last gift goal was an absolute travesty - dropped the ball in a tackle then gifted the free. 

You know the Bont is winning the Brownlow just by how much the umpires love and protect him 

 

This isn't as good a result for us as people think.

If we go 2-1 from here and the Dogs go 2-0, the Dogs will finish above us - even with this loss, we still have to win all three games, and/or the Dogs have to lose to Hawthorn or Port (in Melbourne), for us to finish above them.

It's certainly possible (Port's in form, for example), but it's still not that likely.

But Essendon's win puts them in pole position to finish in the top 8, particularly if we beat West Coast tomorrow (Essendon has the percentage buffer over all their competitors).

Last night I said GWS had given up on the season.

Today I said the bombers looked horrific.

And, last week I said how glad I was that Peter Wright didn’t come to us.

Im on a roll folks!


this weekend has shown the teams playing for finals spots are dangerous opponents. WCE are in danger of dropping out so we have to bring our A game. A slow start is not acceptable tomorrow

 

You do realise that Essendon have an easy last 2 games and will probably make finals now and we have to put up with there arrogant fans. They are actually not a bad team & could cause some trouble. 


What a weekend for Melbourne. .Started of hoping to stay in the top four ended up playing for top spot. Just get it done.

Bont clearly has won the Brownlow. Umpires fawn over the bloke. It’s sickening.

If Clarry got the same love he would win it this year with the highest votes EVER

Nah. Don't stress. 2 meter Peter will never play a game like that again and the bombers wouldn't kick as straight again. They'll do nothing in finals

Yep ive had both WCE and Freo out of a finals series thats played in Perth.

This season just keeps on giving.

100% HTB  No grey area. But even if not HTB, dangerous tackle?! Is that ump for real?

So some people are already celebrating top spot and we have not even played yet. And top spot means nothing until the end of the final series.

Did we just Steven Bradbury to spot? 

We haven't done anything yet.

First we have to win tomorrow. That puts us on top.

Then we have to outdo Geelong and the Bulldogs by a game, because we'll only be half a game in front.

So, if we beat West Coast tomorrow, and then Adelaide, but lose to Geelong, both Geelong and the Dogs will pass us unless they lose another game (which requires Geelong to lose to St Kilda, or the Dogs to lose to Hawthorn or Port).

  • 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?
