The bottom half of the top eight look just as dangerous as the top half.

Most of the form teams are in the bottom half. I would hate to come across the Swans or GWS in finals. We'd win cos I think we're the best, but damn. What a year to win a flag if you can do it.

    You need to remember tho that a lot of these sides have put so much effort just to make finals it’s going to be a big ask to have them continue at this pace. 
    Sydney is the only side in the bottom part of the 8 that really scares me.
    GWS are also very good but again their form is very up and down and they barely made the 8. Losing to them earlier this year will also be a good thing for us as we won’t take them lightly.

    Except for the top team Clint. They look alright.

    But if finals are in WA it’s much better to not have WC in finals with their insufferable fans and the rigged umpiring. 

    Ahh .... But I personally don't know any WC fans.
    I know plenty of Essendon fans.
    And they're all arrogant fl0gs.

    Can't risk a loss to them.

    I don’t know if it’s just me but I’m not scared of facing Essendon in finals if that unlikely event occurs. 

    the Lions will hammer them week one

    Essendon has won 5 games since the bye.

    Those wins have been over 4th, 14th, 15th, 17th and 18th.

    If they win next week, they'll add 16th.

    So that's the bottom five, plus the Dogs in a form slump.

    I maintain their form is a mirage.

    If Brisbane are getting their game to click, they're better than Sydney IMO. Would not want to draw them in the semi final if we lose the first final.

    Interesting the vagaries of the draw there. We've played top 8 teams 9 times. Other top 4 candidates Cats, Dogs, Lions only 8 times, and Port only 7!

    Assuming the top 8 doesn't change, it will be 10 for us in total, 9 for Geelong and the Dogs, and 8 for Port (given we all play top 8 sides again this weekend).

    Port's repeat games this season are Adelaide, Collingwood, Carlton, St Kilda and the Dogs. That's two bottom 4 sides, a bottom 6 side if Hawthorn passes Carlton this weekend and another bottom 10 side. Just one repeat game against a top 8 side.

    Meanwhile have just noticed that Brisbane have only played one current top 8 side since the bye: Geelong in Round 15.

    Their games post-bye have been against 2nd, 10th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th, and they have 9th to come.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
