Not a fan of Nichols.

Isn't he the one that said to Gawn "what did you do that for?" and gawn replied "throw it up straight next time?"

Hopefully he has forgiven max

    Who are our emergencies? If TMac is out then there’s a school of thought to go smaller but then we also need those tall players to ensure the ball comes to ground.

    Hibberd, VDB, Jordon, Weid

    Given the weather id be inclined to vanders or jj.

    Like to see AVB run a straight line with a few upsetting collisions for which he is famous. Ever seen an Eagle splatted on the road from impact with a vehicle? It is not pretty, but it puts a full stop on 'em.

    Hmmmm I would personally go with VDB in for TMac if there is the late change but I can see them giving Sam a go and give him simple instructions to get to as many contests as possible and bring it down to crumbers.

    why a loss may not be the end of the world. MFCSS coming to the fore here.

    If we win tonight, but lose against Geelong in the last round, and Port happen to beat the bulldogs in their last round, we would finish 3rd and play Port (second) away in the first final. This assumes all the top 4 win in Rd 22 - which is probably a fair assumption.

    If we lose tonight, and then end up finishing fourth (assuming we lose to Geelong in the last round - which can be arranged!) we would play the Cats again in the first final (most likely at the G, but the risk is we end up at GMHBA)

    Obviously the best outcome is just win the next 6 games - then nothing to worry about!

    I’ve told everyone in my household that they have just 2 hours and 15 minutes left in the day to annoy me. After 8pm I do not exist and they must not come into my eyesight.

    Pathetic. 

    Don't make outlandish remarks if you can't back them up with facts.

    Stock standard 'Jumbo' as usual.

    That would be a really poor result if we win tonight but end up finishing 3rd and face Port over there. Hopefully the Dogs beat Port in round 23.

    Sounds like T Mac’s out.

    I had a dream last night that we played Port in the Grand Final at Optus Stadium. Was only mid way into the second quarter when the alarm went off. Think we were 2 or 3 goals up 😎

    That's not certain snd if finishing higher will be given probably option of venues as in home and away.

    So we need to finish 1 or 2,to get that advantage of choice wherever.

    Also winning breeds confidence and self belief. Or haven't you played sport much over the journey.? 

    I'm not sure I understand your first point. Are you saying the top 2 will get to choose where they play finals? That is absolutely not how it works. The AFL will tell us where we are playing.

    And your second point is weirdly antagonistic for some reason. I agree winning breeds confidence and self belief. Yes, I have played a substantial amount of sport in my life. 

     

    If McDonald is out then do they go the tall in Weideman,  or bring in another small in Jordon or Vandenberg due to the weather?

    Was that Tom Brown on 7 saying the AFL might scrap the last two rounds and bring the buy and finals foward?

    So basically we can go from 4th right up to the top of the ladder. We can also get a 10 point buffer on the lions who are 5th. So us melbourne supporters having seen what this club can do, we all know what will happen tonight, yeh? 

    I really really hope Im wrong. 

    They said on the news before they reckon tommy will be out and because of the rain we may go small. West coast lost to nth in the wet a few weeks ago. The rain would be good because it would hinder kennedy and darling. 

    I just hope Gawn and LJ run Nic Nat off his feet. Such an important game.

    If Weeds is definitely in then this is the first opportunity we'll have to see the tall forward set up that was planned prior to the T-Mac resurrection.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
