    With all due respect, the last thing those guys need to get them pumped is to review the 2018 PF thrashing by a team not in this year's fins race. There are far better was to get them ready. Watching Rocky IV would be better

    Jeez, watching Scott's presser, he's such a poor loser and an ungracious winner. 

    Hope we smash them

    Ump No 1 was relentless in awarding frees to Geelong. God help us if he plays for them again next week

    i think i have them all on cd still tho!

    pj, soundgarden, and nirvana the only three i still regularly listen to (admittedly via streaming)

    You must be a fan of Temple of the Dog in that case? Hunger Strike, what an absolute gem.

    100% for sure. Great times. Was the same in Bris. Slamming every Thursday and Friday night to the best music. All of those bands just took music to a whole new level. I'm not sure they've been mentioned yet, still catching up with the thread, but I was a massive Faith No More fan as well. Saw them at Festival Hall and was just speechless in awe until the rumbos kicked in

    However, the clash with the Giants failed to live up to the intensity expected of finals football and AFL pundits believe the Cats will struggle to challenge the Demons.

    “I don’t think Melbourne are quaking in their boots right now based on what they’ve seen,” St Kilda great Nick Riewoldt told Fox Footy.

    Never seen Tool, timing was always out. I'd probably list them as my all time favourites. Maynard's a legend, A Perfect Circle is magic as well, and other things he's been into, Puscifer etc. Passenger, a song he did with Deftones. Wow.

    May, Lever and Fritsch didn’t.

    You and me both. It’s the field I work in. Or as many of us now put it, worked in.

    Dogs and cats are the 2 most 'looked after' teams in the comp. Cats going through to last 4 is dangerous. If dogs go through as well anything could happen.

    True. This is the very reason why May came to us so he’ll be pumped, Lever missed our run in 2018 due to ACL so he’ll be up for it. As for Bayley, he’s in the best form of his career so that doesn’t hurt.

    But the engine room is where it will be won and lost.

    Are you serious?

    There's no meaningful difference between 13 days and 15 days off. They're obviously going to give Geelong and the Dogs/Lions winner 7 days each rather than give Geelong 8 days but Dogs/Lions 6 days.

    And Port gets the "lower ranked" finals team in the prelim because they already had to beat the higher ranked finals team in their QF.

    Are you seriously complaining about this?

    For god's sake TU it's an observation. Not everything on DL has to be taken as a complaint, seriously.

    I thought Meredith was far worse , number 21, in giving the Cats about 5 pathetic frees right in front and then ignoring obvious Giants ones. Razor was the bets of them by a mile. I would be happy with Razor next week and hopefully Stevic.

    The reported crowd last night was just over 44k.

    Certainly didn't look like that many but if there were I'm impressed by the Perth public's support

    Kudos to Lachie Whitfield who I thought played a great game.

    We should get a full house next week. Optus is a fantastic stadium and a pleasure to attend games there. Still no MCG but light years ahead of Docklands for spectator ambience.

    If the doggies make it to Perth they'll have travelled more than any other grand finalist. Melbourne to Tassie to Brisbane to Adelaide. It's too much.

    Not sure who wins tonight. Either way their journey will end next weekend in Adelaide I reckon.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
