    No Danger, Cameron, Parfitt for them first time round, but now they're missing Stewart, Duncan & Tuohy.

    We didn't have Brown, Harmes or Bowey

    Hawkins smashed May’s eye socket… so for this VDB and Jones last game, time to put some pre finals hurt on, Hawkins and Selwood at the top of the list. Personally I don’t have it in for Danger.

    I swear to god there isn’t a team in the competition I despise more deeply than this mob. Beating them in finals in 2018 is my fondest footy memory. May 2021 see that memory topped and their old team pushed aside into retirement as they should.

    Must be sarcasm. Would have assumed it was from round 1?

    Ah yes, I dimly recall us smashing flag favourites Fremantle and taking the mantle of "best team in the comp" on the day. 

    But honestly, the first time I thought "Hey we might have something here" was reeling in that gap the Saints created in round 2. Definitely gonna rewatch that game in Grand Final week (should we make it) because I think that was when we truly arrived.

    Ah yes back when people thought Saints could win the flag. Good times.

    You have been clear on this point - When it looked like there is a possibility of playing them 4 times in one year, I must admit it did occur to me to worry for you.  😁

    Bombers easily for me, Cats second. West Coast and Port are now also in my top 8 of most despised.

    Mine goes… Essendon, five Lapland summers (ie. 24/7 daylight), then every other team.

    Just looking at the 12 top ranked Cats players (AFL site) only two, Cam Guthrie and Menegola, are under 30 years of age.

    Guthrie is 28 and Menegola is 29.

    Scott will be praying for that bye.

    My Taliban is Essendon by a long way, (even the club nickname is disgusting-an indiscriminate killing device) but still a hierarchy of loathing after that, Carlton (despite their flourishing mediocrity), WCE, Adelaide, and Hawthorn.

    Dislike: Geelong (more from being a protected species and good for a long time) Roos

    Non plussed about: Dogs Lions Swans Saints Tigers GWS Port

    Amiable intent: Freo (continue to spoil us as our trading bunnies).

    Pity: Suns

    Shakespearean Rage: For family reasons Collingwood, they are our Capulets (without any Juliet).

    Maybe he should incorporate two nana-naps into their training instead of one.

    Not sure we should be helping - I used to think the Spanish were mad lazy buggers for having siesta. I now realise they are inspired geniuses, love my nana nap (when I can get one!

    Samesies! Never met a nap I didn’t like.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
