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.

    Is it just me or are all the Richmond players porky??

    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.

    Just turned the sound on as I’d been watching on mute whilst doing other things. I now regret that move.

    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: 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?
