They'll probably win it

I Agree. They Will win the minor premiership (I assume thats what you mean).

Because the Dees best, the Tiges best, the Blues best (with full defensive unit) and even Freo will address the Cats weaknesses in the finals on a larger ground.

Again.

Dees were within a goal with 10 minutes to play and with poor performances and structure .  The Lions win tells me we still have it, just that its got to come together perfectly. 

And Hawkins/Cameron can be managed.

    1990 Darren Millane.  Played the last month of the season with it.  Every game he re broke it. Plastered it up during the week, played the next game with it strapped up.  Never been a fan of anything black and white but that was the most amazing thing I've ever seen.  He was still marking the ball and playing incredible footy.  Was a huge reason they broke the 32 year drought.  Oliver has Millane - like courage.

    Broken sounds bad but maybe  hairline which I suspect given they plan to miss 1 week with him.

    Time for a magic glove.  Jimmy played with a broken hand.  Surely a thumb is not that important 😉

    Incorrect Spirit, a broken thumb is the worse of any of the digit breaks and I should know as I have had two of them. Your thumb is pivotal to grasping ,hance the inconvenience and pain.

    The thumb is critical for a player like Oliver as he handballs so much and for 'touch' for his many possessions.

    But then, an 80% Oliver is far better than not having him play at all. 

    He is tough and he won't even flinch as long as opp players don't target his hand.

    He will just have to kick more than handball.

    Hey picket. My comment was tongue in cheek hence the winking emoji.  Yes I agree and think he’ll probably miss at least the NT game v Port 😭

    There’s a thought … he’s usually a 30% kick player (70% handballs) due to his close contested footy game. But would love to see him ultimately kick a helluva lot more

    I can’t stand Selwood but anyone who thinks this is deliberate is clearly delusional. It was a footy act. Stupid and careless yes, and the free was paid. 
     

    If we play them again, then we will remember.

    Your reasoning seems a tad contradictory but when I played footy there was very little kicking but a bit of fighting . I think in hindsight  I have seen said player do similar things before.

    What's worse,  kicking like you have done/ did before or scratching your opponents eyes out. Different opponent and different culprit  hmm. What would the winger/ mouth be saying. AFL do something. You can bet on it.

    Instead the nose would have gone in and thanked the maggots and especially  No23.

    I think Clarry will be fine if he keeps off his thumb for a week or so and avoids all hitch-hiking.

    He can hitch with the other hand you know.

    If he loses by 1 vote there will be outrage! If a kicking in danger free was paid, why wouldnt the match review panel charge Selwood with reckless and negligent conduct causing injury? Clarry misses a week, so too should Selwood.😡

    You weren't the caller to SEN yesterday afternoon that Derwayne Russell cut off after they suggested exactly that, Picket? 😁

    [censored] I HATE the pussie cats as it seems nearly every time will play those [censored] wits we end up with an injured player such as Mayx2, Viney, Oliver etc and of course it’s always ACCIDENTALL which is bull [censored]  

    I HATE THE [censored]  wits AND HOPE WE BEAT THEM IN THE FINALS. If we meet them again. 
     

    GOD I HATE THEM.

    .... and also pivotal to hand balling (unless you play for Footscray or Geelong when you just throw it)

    Which hand was injured?

    Are you saying that in respect of the GFC, notwithstanding  they have redeeming features - nevertheless , overall, in consideration, in your mind, the negatives outweigh the positives ?

    A coincidence that Duckwood just happened to break a bone of the best player in the league? Of course it’s not.

    Cats are the experts at making malicious acts look like accidents.

    I can only remember when Stephen King decided to have a leg swipe in a ruck contest against Jeff White.  Result?  Jeff White has metal plates put in his face.  Tom Hawkins throws an errant elbow and breaks Maysie's eye socket.  Last year, Hawkins again pushes Maysie in the back and his hammy goes.

    ......And now this with Clarrie.  Where is the duty of care?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
