It makes me sick that Collingwood could actually make top 4. 

Collingwood’s last three are tough, but before that not so tough. We have a cracking finish coming up.

    Well it would be nice for Collingwood to fluff one soon, they really need to lose.

    I think you might be underselling how good the Pies are. 

    Fair point but I honestly don’t think they are good. A few good players. No stars. They are just coached well with an easy draw.

    Would you worried about playing them in finals? I realise this beat us but they hold no fear for me when something is on the line

    Depends how we go against them in round 21.

    There’d have to be some slight concerns if we play Collingwood in a qualifying final and the Pies have a potential 6-1 record over us since round 23 2017.

    Nightmares of a Pies v Cats GF

    It's not unlikely

    I put a sneaky shekel on when the pies v Cats GF was paying $71 just after QBday. Suspect the odds would be much lower now.

    They’re top 2 material if you ask me.

    They’re only a game and percentage below Geelong and have a laughable 4 weeks coming up.

    We'll see in the return game. If we can put together a really good 4 quarter game against them next time round then it will be nice and fresh in their minds. I firmly believe if May plays and Cox gets towelled up we win that last one even if not convincing. 

    I just want Collingwood no where near top 4, I want them to get lost.

    geez, gold coast really hard done by, umpiring very favourable to collingwood in the last. 

    They and Carlton are being umpired into favourable finals positions.

    Suns lost two close ones. They should be in the 8. Learning some harsh lessons

    “Kangaroos midfielder Luke Davies-Uniacke was outstanding with a game-high 35 possessions and eight clearances in a lone hand”

    I saw only bits of the Kangas v Cats (mainly watched Suns-Pies). But must say LDU is a gun and definitely one shining light for Kangas this season.

    Geelong gets North and the Eagles twice this season.

    Yes worked that out. Cats play Eagles at home in round 23.  That’s a nice draw for them and their percentage.

    AFL is rubbish if Melbourne aren’t playing. 

    True. But there’s something poetic about a Hawthorn vs GWS game being the most irrelevant game of the weekend. So irrelevant I won’t even bother watching. Watching WC Richmond hoping for the miracle upset, watched North hoping they would injure the cats, to no avail.

  • Quote

    How accurate Richmond:

    14.4 and 3 of their behinds have been rushed. Tom Lynch the only Richmond player to have kicked a behind.

    Accuracy is literally the difference in this one.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
