    Not enough injuries.

    Glad we dodged the Port bullet.

    Totally unfair to have teams have no Home Ground advantage but QLD and SA teams do. Should have both Prelims in Perth / especially since GF will be there. 

    Same as last year though. Richmond got past Port Adelaide in the prelim.

    We can avoid this unfairness by winning tomorrow, too.

    Except for our best performance of the year, when we beat Port Adelaide.

    True that. Hope it’s an Adelaide Oval thing….

    Port are in the box seat to make the Grannie now, with a home Prelim.

    They cocked it up last year when they got the ride of home games, won the first final and hosted a side who'd been hubbing all year.

    But clearly we do not want to lose tomorrow and be sent to their prelim.

    We’d likely have to get over the Dogs first. Needing to beat the Dogs and then Port in Adelaide just to make the GF would be a very tough road.

    I’ve said all season Geelong play horrible football. Solid defensively, but with the ball it’s a pale and boring imitation of prime Hawks. Baffles me how they almost finished top. The last 3 weeks they’ve come up against good teams that wouldn’t accept that boring chippy [censored] and it’s shown them up beautifully.

    Geelong are cooked cooked cooked, imagine have grandpa's like Isaac Smith and Shaun Higgins for another 2 years, Geelong are going into next year with a even older side, dangerous is cooked, Hawkins is cooked, Mitch Duncan get heaps of the ball but does not hurt, the most overrated player.

    I think we were all more scared of their personnel than their game style. That aura has completely disappeared now.

    O’Connor getting injured is a huge blow for Geelong. He’s their main tagger and if we come up against them in the Prelim, it’s comfortable knowing Oliver won’t get tagged by him.

    Probs sound like a cranky toddler but this is so not fair! Why shouldn’t they have to play their prelim in WA. Understandable if there’s no other choice but for the purposes of a level playing field, don’t let em sleep in their owns beds then after two weeks off, play at home with their own fans. What a gift!

    Geelong cheat to make  top 4 every year, there game plan is good in home and away,, but more often then not it does not stand up in finals, imagine they are going into next year with most of their veteran signed up, dangerous and Selwood are cooked, are only good for cameos.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
