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

He’s not wrong about himself though… 🥶

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

Uh oh. 

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.

That is the most insightful thing said this week.

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. 

Carlton, Lions and Freo lose and we win convincingly and regain our team defence 

nice weekend!

Bring on Friday to crush the filth!!

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
