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

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
