    If we make it, I fancy Geelong more than the Pies.

    I think that’s the most contested and hard game of footy I’ve ever seen - so good. And from my two most hated clubs. Off to punish myself for this dirty thought with a nice glass of wine.

    I hate Geelong more than Collingwood. Seeing them win a thriller with Gary Rohan playing well makes me sick. Will all be worth it if we knock them out in a fortnight though.

    I do too BUT I rather play them than the Pies so this is a good outcome for us.

    We weren’t too shabby last time we met them in a prelim!

    I know we lost our first.  But what a season, and what a finals series.

     

    But nobody really cares about the next game, Who's playing?

    Geelong do not want to play us in a Prelim.

    I reckon this could be a good thing.

    It’s the best outcome. They were both super but at least we don’t have to contend with the crowd.

    Fine line between pleasure and pain for Collingwood 

    Win tonight and they’d fancy beating Brisbane or Melbourne in a prelim.

    But now they face the boobie prize - Sydney at the SCG.

    Thank christ for that. I'd fancy Sydney to take care of Collingwood again up there should they get that far. It's just a question of whether we can bring our best for three consecutive games. Right now I have my doubts.

    Great to watch a game where umpires didn't favour either team, just let it flow.

    Agree, it’s been an unbelievable season and it’s hard not to think there will be a couple more classic games.

    The only good thing to take out of our loss is I believe we are at least on the right side of the finals, as I reckon Filth could’ve taken it right up to us with their game style. Though I don’t like that defeatist type of reasoning.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
