I reckon the Pies are cooked and peaked around a month ago. The Blues will beat them on and Sunday and their season will be over with a whimper

their young players are starting to tire. Even young Daicos is well off the boil

Ginnivan out is big. 

Their best inside mid in Adams can’t get on the park. Should be back by finals they hope

they looked exhausted against the swans the ponies forgot their one trick

Ginnivan not ruled out. Will have a bit of mongrel in him if he plays this week. 

 

One game to go and we could still play 5 different teams week 1 of finals. Sydney home or away, Cats, Tigers, Blues, Dogs

giants almost beat the dogs last week, whos to say they won’t beat Freo at home this week?

can’t remember ever having this many perms and combs possible  in the last round. 

I like that we have TMac on the come back, and likely to be back for the finals. Often under rated as to his value and impact on our forward line. 

Gotta beat Lions, but with Tommy back we'll be ready to have a red hot tilt at September irrespective.

And... imagine the glory of winning it from 6th..!

Brave coach and FD to pull the trigger on TMac in first week of finals…

Not sure who would go out either.

My hope is that the sun rule is tweaked for finals and becomes just another sub.

anyone else getting 1987 vibes about this years final round.

so many permutations with the final games of the season deciding who’s the last final spot (glad we’re already in this time) remember it vividly hanging on for the result in Geelong to go our way

Another game, another litmus test.
Whatever happens after our run home taking on most of the top 8, the boys will be battle hardened for the finals like no others.

Sydney 100- St Kilda 50.

We finish 3rd.

Keep an eye on this kind of score.

Yep, but 99-50 won't do it for them.

It's that close.

The Saints defence has actually been pretty decent the last 5 weeks. Only conceded 100 pts to Geelong and surely you think they score at least 70 at Marvel.

The 9 goal margin will be in the heads of the Swans and I actually think because it’s so large it’ll distract them.

Saints biggest loss this year at Marvel has been 41pts (to Freo) and have won most of their games at Marvel this year.

I’m pretty confident this won’t be a blow out.

True, but Sydney are very good and St Kilda are not very good.

I'm hoping St Kilda get up for Hannebery and Max King has a determination to kick straight which sees him bag 5.0 or something.

Remember, in the unlikely event of a Swans loss, we will host Collingwood, Fremantle or Brisbane (imagine that - each of Sydney, Fremantle and Collingwood lose and we get Brisbane again!).

We need to send Russell Robertson to Max King tomorrow morning to teach him how to kick.  In my memory, he is the one player that we’ve had that went from ordinary in front of goal to extremely reliable.  


We are 11-0 interstate

Swans lost to Suns and Lions at the SCG this year

I'm not bothered where we play

Further to your point:

We’ve beaten Sydney twice since 2001 at the MCG. Just TWICE.

That is quite frankly embarrassing over a 21 year period.

The pressure will be on us more at the G than at the SCG. 
It’s unequivocal now that our  preparation and execution for interstate games is second to none, dating back to August 2021.

 

On a positive note both Richmond and Bulldogs have interstate finals.  Probably:

Lions vs Tigers at the Gabba.

Freo vs Bulldogs at Optus

The Dogs should be blown off the park by any of the other 7 sides in the top 8.

Their win over us is the only time they've played well since Round 9.

Post-bye they beat Hawthorn twice, GWS twice, St Kilda and us.

But I fear they'll reset over the bye and Fremantle will do a Carlton and [censored] the bed.

On current form Brisbane will lose to Richmond.

Oh, ok. I will let Goodwin know.

Although, Geelong have lost prelims and GFs the last decade against teams lower on the ladder…

And anything can happen when big finals are played at our home ground and not theirs…

But no, you’re right, let’s just give up.

Pretty happy with my prediction.  Maybe look at things a bit more objectively next time.

I am objective as they come o_d, but I am never going to pontificate on any prognostication relating to the glorification of the evil that lives in Mordor (Geelong).

Happy trails friend.

Great stuff big boy. The old "Look what I wrote a month ago" routine. 

 

Can we rename this the crawl home?

after 10-0 we only won 6 of the next 14

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
