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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
