    Tigers have an easy run home. They could make finals. 

    Port in Adelaide, Hawks at the G and Essendon at the G. 

    Could lose all 3. They lost to Norf don’t forget

    Lions were 7 goals up weren’t they?

    Geelong like loss.  The Lions Blues game going to mean a lot next week.

    I've said it before but Brisbane's leadership and midfield is highly questionable. They go missing at really important points. Remind me of MFC circa 2002-2006. Really poor again.

    Agree.

    But their main issue is their woeful defence.

    Old school sysyem thst just doesn't cut it - as evidenced by how many big scores they've give up.

    Cost them this game as they simply couldn't stop the tiger's momentum

    From the AFL game day thread

    "Searching for their first win since Round 21, 2014 at the MCG, Brisbane gave up a 42-point lead and were overrun by the Tigers. This came about as Brisbane's ball movement was stifled by Richmond. In the first half, Brisbane turned 34 defensive chains into 16 forward 50 entries and 6.3 (39); in the second half, 30 chains only yielded seven entries and three behinds."

    Brisbane did a Melbourne.

    Welcome to the Dangerzone, Lions.

    Serious question- have we been 42pts down and lost this year? I don’t think so but wondering if you or anyone knows

    I love when Brisvegas play the self appointed barometer, Rhys Mathieson.

    Random thought….

    Blues don’t make the 8 (even if they win tonight).

    Lions @ Gabba 

    Dees @ MCG

    Pies @ MCG 

    Tigers to win next 3.

    Blues making the 8 comes down to them beating the Pies rd 23.

    Massive choke from the Lions. They lost it more than the Tigers win it. Lions won contested footy, clearances, inside 50s etc. just what the bed when the pressure came

    Agreed. Zorko is the worst captain in the league and yes I am including Heppell in that. He is a hot head and thinks of himself. Argues with the umps and has personal grudge matches a lot. 

    the Sooner McCluggage is made captain the better for them

    Oops. I could not pick a winner to save my life this year. That is why I don't bet on Melbourne games.

    Another bonus out of that game is St Kilda. They have  to win next week now, most likely they wont but its now their Grand Final.

    Brisbane's chance to win a flag was the only year in history when the finals were/will be played in QLD. Not sure where they go from here. Back to QLD, I guess.

    They can’t win, neither can Flagmantle. It’s out of the current top 4.

    got an armchair ride to the prelim at the Gabba during covid impacted 2020 and still couldn't get the job done. Serial chokers in the big games

    Rippa great result for Dees beat Pies where locked in top two

    Wouldn't count on this - Sydney have North, Collingwood (at the SCG where they are 8-2) and St Kilda to come. Very good chance they make up the 4 points and 5% between us even if we go 2-1 from here.

    So basically if we beat the Pies and Carlton we will finish 2nd?

    I hate seeing Richmond win but it helps us

    For now.

    Keep winning and it could be us against the Swans at the G.

    Lose one and it could be Swans at the SCG.

    If that was the case, I think I would prefer to finish 4th and play the Cats at the G.

    Haven't worked out all the scenarios needed for various results yet, I am sure others on DL will.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
