Great to seeFreo win an away game like that for one of their greats and beat the most favoured team in the AFL  with [censored]'S.

Looks like we'll have to win both our remaining games to make Top 4. 

Some might say you make your own luck in this game, but JUH kicking 5.0 against us, Collingwood kicking 15.4 last night , and barely any other results going our way recently have made things tricky.

With all that said, stumbling into September, finishing 5th and then making a GF is still very much possible. That's what the Dogs did last year.

You can see how Geelongs small and half forwards push up all the way to the contest  and then attack in a wave of half back. It’s the same way Pies sling shot. 

This is their blueprint I think you need to stop their out number at the contest to have a crack at winning. It’s a modified version of the Richmond game plan.

The Saints v Cats qtr time score line is pretty much what ours should have been at qtr time. Credit to the Cats they know how to score when they have momentum.

I’m with you BDA. Why voluntarily watch Geelong dole out a hiding. 
But there is ONE good thing about  this weekend of footy… Essendon lost. And that’s never a bad thing. 😁

I’m not so bloody minded

i don’t care who wins as long as we win

Um so if Sydney and Brisbane win by enough we slip to 5th correct?

Sounds like a multi worth having given the way things have gone for us this year ie relying on  others as we continue to merde Le bed

Same. But when we don’t win, watching the likes of Essendon win makes it more painful.

Wow losing to Dogs put our form into perspective. Dogs a putrid today. It amazing how some teams lift against us.

Yes, it happens to all existing premiers, to anyone on top at the time.  plus the hardest draw.

You’ll get a good price for Sydney to win by 34 and Brisbane to win by 86.

That only works out if the opposition do not score. ie for every goal North scores Swan need to score extra 8 points.

Amazing. Frees only 18 - 14 in favour of Footscray.  Bevo will have to complain to HQ.

We have stuffed up OUR OWN chances fot=r a top 2 finish with inept goal kicking more than anything else.  

IF the coaching team don't review this and work hard on it in the offseason then it will continue unabated, and cost us again.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
