A better spreadsheet of the Brisbane scores to make top 4.

There is no need for that spread sheet @Demonland, the only thing that will be getting spread this arvo are the cheeks of West Coast's collective butts.

    First of all let's just win tonight then we'll start talking.

    Outside of the MCG and Marvel where in Australia have the Dees played there best Football and their record has stood up in the past 5 years?

    Answer: Adelaide Oval its a no brainer, logistically its a 1 hour flight, the players love the ground.

    What more is there to say.

    You live there so you can get along to support the team. And bring along as many crows fans as you can muster (if we are playing Port)

    The Blues would have to be as kind in their farewell of Teague as they were in his first game as coach. Can’t see it happening because he’s lost the players.

    Brett Ratten the only half decent coach at Carlton in the past two decades was sacked by the club. The other half dozen coaches were sacked by the players. Expect a 100 points loss to farewell Teague.

    probably likely......

    .....but, sometimes these situations go the other way

    We farewelled Roos with a 100 point loss. Shameful effort from our players that day

    Not sure of the logic here. 

    If we win tonight, we can still end up in Adelaide for the prelim - they win their first final, we lose ours. Puts us in their half of the draw. 

    Sorry your right, I just felt this was the most unlikely scenario.  They would need to beat the Cats in week 1. If not then they will never have a choice of ground for the Prelim. Anyone playing them from the Week 1 winners will opt for Gabba or Optus I would have thought.

    I just want what's best for the footy club home state aside.

    Yep that really gave me a sour taste, he deserved so much better from the players.

    I always had a soft spot for Frosty with his effort and aggression (and still do) but christ im happy with May/Lever/Petty down back and not stressing seeing him near the ball.

    He did everything right in the last contest getting in front to take a game winning intercept mark only for him to fumble it and his man kicks the game drawing goal.

    Bachar Houli has been the only likeable bloke on that team. And a very good player as well.

    Brisbane have kicked 40 goals the last 2 weeks. Think I’d rather play Port

    Who have they played! Pies and Dockers...not what you would say are great defensive teams with lots of talent on song.

    What a fix up that was at the MCG.

    kind of fitting and sums up 2021 with that draw. Deep down Clarko would not be happy with his team giving up the last 5 goals.

    Looks like the Eagles can be bothered today. Lions will have to work hard to get the percentage they need

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
