Are Hawthorn getting stuck into buckets of KFC in the changing rooms? 

Haha, yep, awkward silence and then: “Did someone say KFC?”

    Just saw the scores in the WC/Brisbane match. It will be carnage.

    The Coasters don't like leaving Boo Stadium do they?

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

    True neither team are going to make finals, but they still put 20 more goals past them than we did. Looks like they will score another big score against Eagles too. Think I would def rather play Port first up

    Another pathetic performance to cap off the Suns season. That club will never get its act together. Keeping them propped up is just good money after bad

    I think you would definitely prefer to play the Lions at Adelaide oval, rather than Port. How many goals would the umpires give Port and take off us, as a result of their crowd. They basically start 4-5 goals up.

    I don't think there's any favourable matchup anymore, I've resigned myself to that. Going into this round, Port at OUR neutral venue was the best outcome, and look how that turned out with them putting in their best performance of the year.

    Win or lose tonight, the QF will be tough whoever and wherever we play. And the differences will be minute.

    Top 4, double chance.  I don't care who or where we play ( now that it's not Vic)  This team can beat anyone on their day, and we have an open window for next year and the year after at least.  I realised recently I'm about as old as you can be to not have seen your team win a flag.  But I'm going to enjoy the ride, this year and the next few, because we're right up to it.

    If we end up winning tonight would we rather play the Lions or the out-of-form Bulldogs? I think I've answered my own question.

    Need a miracle from the Eagles.

    Agree. Port at a neutral venue was our ideal situation. Lions have turned the corner. Losing to the Hawks down in Tassie has sparked something for them. Since then they’ve smashed Freo away, belted Collingwood at home and now looking likely to put away Eagles pretty easily.

    Two draws in one season for Hawthorn.  Can't imagine that would happen very often.

    Could possibly have been two draws for us if that (censored) umpire paid the deliberate out of bounds in the Adelaide game.

    So do we want Doggies or Lions in the Top4. Do we think the Doggies can turn around the form in the finals. Lions look pretty good. 

    I’m not sure the Dogs are likely to lose 4 games in a row. Martin will come back for finals which will straighten them up. We’ve lost to them once before. I’d choose the Lions over the Dogs, but 50-50 of Port at home vs Lions at a neutral venue.

    Dogs back in, Dogs back out. This little live ladder graphic on the bottom left of screen is a classic.

    Much prefer to play Brisbane than Dogs. 

    Even though Brissie are in way better form?

    Are they? Look who they’ve beaten in recent weeks. 
    And they don’t look great right now. Besides we are better suited to match their game plan than the Dogs’ game plan.

    I think we need to come to terms with the fact that it doesn’t really matter who we play - dogs and Brisbane are both quality sides. I think I’d rather play a team with losing form then winning form though, and given the choice I’d rather not see Brisbane have the double chance. So go west coast!

    • 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?
