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!

    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

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.
