The Deez obviously . . . who else?

  • Geelong have their problems. Ryes Stanley, not for the first time, was cut to ribbons by Gawn. Geelong do not hold any real fear for the Dees. Other than 20 mins in the second term, we controlled the game. Too old, too slow, flat track bullies that s*%t the bed when it's white-hot.
  • Port have a reputation as downhill skiers, but are going to be favoured by home crowds and wounded opponents. Keep tight.
  • The Bears are well coached and don’t have a glaring weakness. If (and it’s a huge IF), Joe plays four weeks of great footy, they can win it.
  • The Dogs have had a brain fart big time . . . difficult to tell if it's terminal or if they can bounce back. Can't see Essendrugs beating them though.
  • Swans . . . Longmire is cunning (in a nice way) as any coach going around. A well balanced side who on their day can beat most others.
  • GWS . . . Cameron’s coaching this year has been brilliant. Completely slipped under the radar of the pundits. Has completely rebuilt the backline on the fly and reinvented the roles of all his mids. 

(Whoever wins out of GWS and Swans could go on and play in the granny against us.)

  • Essendrugs . . . . . vomit.

    I'm betting on the side that has had a season with a player who took the most intercept marks ever during the season and another player who had the most contested possessions ever in a season.

    Two pretty vital stats in the modern game.

    Go Dees!

    Actually think it could be an Essendon V Melb grand final. 

    Firstly, for that to happen, it would have to be Melbourne v Essendon. Important as they would have to wear the clash strip! :-)

    It would also require us to win against Bears, and Essendon to beat Footscray, Bears and then Port/Cats. That would be a massive ask for a side that's barely beaten a top 8 side all season and just scraped into the 8.

    Most years people see upsets happening but most years the top 4 make the prelims.

    Indeed, since 2000 I think only 7 sides have gone out in straight sets. That's 7 out of 80. Less than 10%.

    So whilst Sydney and GWS and Essendon are all in good degrees of form, the odds suggest that the losers of Melb-Brisbane and Port-Geelong will make the prelims.

    Whilst Sydney is in good form, they don't match up well against Port or Geelong, who they'll have to beat in the SF. I'll back the loser of Port-Geelong to make the prelim, therefore (and FWIW I smell a Geelong win this week).

    On our side of the draw, I think we'll beat Brisbane, which means I think we'll play Port in the prelim.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
