Looking forward to watching the 4 other teams pummelling the poo out of each other next weekend while we kick back and recuperate.

    Shame we can't just stay in SA

    Afl biggest worry is if covid hits wa from interstate . The more teams in perth  asap the better. I know port is set for home prelim and lions home semi  , things could change rapidly. Wouldnt surprise me  if Optus stadium booked for 2 matches next week and  2 matches prelim week  just in case

    Hey mods, 'NON MFC' in the thread title is redundant. We aren't playing this week (and it feels so good!)... 😉

    May all semi finals be hard slogs with lots of bodies being hit hard.

    Pretty pointless to put (NON MFC) in the title I would have thought Andy.

    If our boys stay healthy and on what I've seen this weekend we could be a just a Jeremy Cameron hamstring strain away from a flag.

    And may they be shaken by lightning strikes, and beaten by aggressive bouncers.

    Amen.

    I think the dogs may win. Out of Geelong and GWS I think the cats unfortunately but I would rather play GWS in the prelim.

    Cats obviously can’t afford to be that bad two weeks in a row, but...

    R20 beat Roos but looked horribly shaky
    R21 lost Giants and only won the last qtr
    R22 beat Saints but lost first half
    R23 lost Demons but only won one qtr, and gave up a 44 point lead to lose by 4 points. 
    QF lost Port losing every qtr and only kicking 5 goals the entire game. 

    It's a five week block of poor quality football by the Cats...'cept for that 15-minutes about which, we do not talk. Completely running against what we'd come to expect from them. 

    There's no third chance, is there? 

    Do they go with the same group?
    Or bring in the big Fijian? 
     

    All I hope for is two teams to beat the absolute [censored] out of each other, and turn up Fri week in a demoralised, battered state against us.

    think with their raft of green/e injuries and suspensions, plus likely cumming too, that the geelong geriatrics will be able to hold out gw$ who came to a shuddering halt in the last quarter versus the swans

    expecting the bears to bounce back at home

    you can be sure gws will make it a very hard and physical game

    i hope they both knock themselves out

    The Cats are a proud group. I expect them to beat GWS convincingly. 

    Without McStay and Hipwood the Lions have little HF connection or marking power going forward.  Tag Cameron and they are struggling

    I think the dogs have regained some form and will beat the Lions in a thriller.  Don't forget the Dogs were favourites for the flag a fair chunk of the year and are only really missing Bruce

    Agree Cats.
    I think Lions will beat the dogs. Dogs have no ruck, and a really fragile defence. I think the rain helped cover up those 2 major flaws.  If Lions halve clearances dogs are done. Daniher won’t be playing on Steven May this week, and Cameron is in great form.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
