They'll have to move Schache up there where he's even worse than as a defender.

    Would be a fair effort by Essendon to finish on top from here.

    Note that I edited it almost immediately… you must have jumped on it almost as soon as the post landed 😂🤣

    Brisbane have the chance to sew up a home final in Melbourne.

    That is a massive blow for them. Suddenly it’s down to Naughton to carry the forwardline. He’s an excellent forward but that’s a lot of pressure against the best defenses come finals.

    The cats biggest problem is they are too old. they won't have the legs for a finals campaign

    No wonder Scott  keeps going on about shorter quarters

    In terms of the finals race, us winning tomorrow opens up the Eagles to the chasing pack. HQ would love 6 teams to be fighting for 2 spots than 5 fighting for one. The top 4 being separated by half a game and the Round 23 fixture just adds to it.

    I think I'll wind down for the night now Megatron. This game in the west is giving me nothing to work with. Good luck in the NFC North this year btw.

    It's a huge loss for them. After today's game he had 48 goals to his name. You can't replace quality overnight.

    They'll have to reshuffle their forward line. Whether that's bringing Sweet in to ruck, and then throw English forward.

    Bruce out now mean Marra gets 2nd best defender. Huge task coming up to finals..

    They are dropping like flies after a long season with full length games. 
    But if they can pull off an injury free run from here on in they can absolutely win it. They don’t have anymore travel now either which really helps. 
    They are mature and experienced and that always helps in finals. They know how to win it. The closest we got with this squad is a smashing in a Prelim. 
     

    Watch all the cats fans complain about the injuries and blame them for any dips in form, completely ignoring the fact their footy department made that choice to back in their ageing list.

    josh bruce has been absolutely vital for footscray's forward structure

    I don't care what anyone says, he's brilliant on the outside, but has no defensive game at all does Bontempelli. 0 tackles. If he gets votes in that game it's a joke.

    How bloody wonderful was it to see that mob beaten? Another test, another failure. 

    If the Bulldogs aren't winning clearance, they can't win games. They can't even generate inside 50s. Their style won't hold up in finals unless they pull 2 or 3 performances out of their arses. Can't see it. The flag is ours to lose from here.

    He's a great attacking player when its all his way doesn't chase down like Clarry and Trac, down hill skier if you will.

    I feel very sorry for Josh Bruce. Siren goes 2 seconds earlier and he’s about to play finals and in the hunt for a Coleman. For a much maligned player he’s had a great year.

    Those losses to teams outside the 8 are really starting to haunt us.

    This is simultaneously a sarcastic comment noting the Dogs' and Geelong's losses, and truthful.

    Don't forget Port is near certain to finish top 4 despite having a 2-5 record against the top 8.

    • 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?
