Optimistic or in denial?

Maybe he means reading an atlas.

    If Clarko has just told the truth that he is taking next year off to travel the world, then Ross Lyon is probably the next Blues Coach.  

    Adam Cerra was on his way to Richmond mid year, before the Carlton slide, last 6 weeks or go that dynamic change from staying at Freo or going to Carlton.

    So from around that time his player manager must have gotten a sniff that Ross was the next boss of the blues.

    It is simple really. We want the dogs to win so then the result tmrw night does not matter. If port wins we have to beat geelong or play port in port. Having said that I don't mind playing them over there anyway.

    I would like to see freo win and essenscum [censored] themselves against the filth. It is not very often that you would be glad if the filth won but them the breaks this weekend.

    I'm conflicted, want dogs to win to secure top 2. 

    But would also love them to lose for a bit of excitement Saturday night with our game and the lions game. 

    Would also be nice the see the dogs completely choke the end of season something their supporters kept saying was going to happen  to us.

    Kind of amazing really that Ross Lyon rejected Collingwood on the basis of club instability, yet is still prepared to entertain an offer from Carlton.  Kind of has the same overtones as when he took over the reins at Freo in similar circumstances, where the rug was pulled out from under the feet of an existing coach.  I'm really not sure thay quality things that people say about Ross are justified on this basis.

    One constant though is that players who played under him love him.  Must be something in that

    Such an interesting end to the home and away season.

    The Dogs and Port will be bashing hard into each other.

    Hoping Dogs get it, so our game against Cats hasn't got as much riding on it.

    Other than Dogs getting the mojo back on (not good for us), would not like the Port to get home finals.

    Fast start Doggies!

    Dog's starting well.

    Port can't get the ball.

    If they do, they can't keep it, and don't make the best of their chances.

    I was thinking all week that Bulldogs winning would be the best outcome for us, because we would finish top 2 regardless of tomorrow's result.

    Having given it further thought, there might be a bit more too it. I see Geelong as our main competition. If tomorrow's game becomes a 'live' game, and the game is played with both sides trying to win, I think we are in a much better position than Geelong to go for broke and win due to Geelong's injuries. Given the age profile of Geelong's team, I think that will also hamper Geelong next week, regardless of whether they beat us or not, which means they may end up fatiguing near the end of the finals. I think we can cop it, they can't, so maybe it might be better for Port to win?

    Also, I can't stand the Dogs! Mind you, they are already 3 goals up!

    Does anyone else think that Robbie Gray looks like Jimmy Somerville of The Communards/Bronski Beat?

    Port are poor. My preference is a dogs win but i don't want Port to play them back into form either. I'd rather a hard fought battle

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
