    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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
