This will make most Essendon supporters sleep a little uneasy tonight. Keep dashing hopes you Giants.

    GWS feel like they've kicked about 10 goals from the goalsquare in the last couple of games.

    Oh well, they've enjoyed a run that history will view very strongly.

    A team that won 3 flags and turned the league on its head in terms of re-defining defensive pressure. Well done to them.

     

    Now, if only West Coast could do us a favor and implode in a similar manner.

    Nice to see that the work experience kid is still at AFL House despite lockdown.

    Tigers - yellow and black.  Umpires - yellow and black.  

    It just beggars belief when they could have gone with fluoro green, light blue or even white for the umps.

    On the money again Stone. For such a professional organisation, the umpire's chosen attire is regularly colour-blind.

    Perhaps Hardwick should make the move? Give Lynch a run on the ball?

    thought you meant the move to the boardroom with his resignation letter.

    GWS is missing Greene, Green, Coniglio, Davis, Daniels, Finlayson, Hill and Reid (along with some season-ending injuries to Flynn, Keeffe and Buckley).

    They could be a handful come finals. If they beat Carlton next week that puts them in prime position for 7th and potentially a final vs Sydney, the best draw possible for them.

    They look good, but I'm sure a lot of it is due to Richmond being just absolutely pathetic.

    Regardless of outcome and who gets it - this statue on the mark rule is just so absolutely counterintuitive.   
    I know some like it but a 50 penalty for running backwards or a step sideways is just such an overkill.

    The Stand rule is rubbish. Man the mark and you can move if you like - UNLESS the umpire calls Stand. If you hear that you can’t move. If you hear him say play on you can move. 

    ridiculous that the rule is based on the ability of a player to hear the ump. Could be trouble on GF day

    This might have been fair to say in Round 1.

    But it's Round 22. No excuses. Stand on the mark, don't move. It's not hard.

    That's not the rule at all.

    There haven’t been many of them but I’d hate to lose a game or a final because of it.

    Don't mind Daisy's observations and analysis at all! Knowledgeable and informative. To a lesser extent, ditto for Lepper.

    But BT and JB? Yeah. Nah. Hopeful and misplaced drama their default.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
