Swans v GWS looks like a good game but the deathride is too good to look away from.

    Please don't make excuses we had a dysfunctional forward line all year, they even tried to change it towards the end of the year, blind Freddy could see that, well not you it seems.

    So you go from complaining about the game against the Lions to complaining about our forward line issues. Ok champ.

    Sorry gents its whinge time for me.

    Is our Tio stadium game against the Giants worth it?

    In the literal sense it's worth it, ie financially. I know the club makes more money by the relocation but I'm thinking more about the effects it probably has on the teams energy levels.

    I do believe in the first five of our games this year, the 3 interstate games must have taken some toll on the players. Not so much the short flight to Adelaide but flying to Brisbane and Perth would have taxed the players somewhat.  It can be argued the gather travel is not relevant as all clubs do it but not necessarily so close to two other big trips.

    With the Tio game we play 7 interstate games not including the gather game and a trip to kardinia which is just as bad. Why is it bad?...the fact that we are only one of 4 Vic clubs to play there says something.  It's a tough gig with the cats huge success rate there.

    So it's 8 interstate and a trip to Geelong.

    I guess in summary I'm thinking out loud that since the Tio game is in our power to stop, it should be played at the Mcg.

    The negatives of travelling is difficult to quantify but I'm sure it has some relevance to the ultimate factor of playing a granny....the number of wins.

    If rescheduling the Giants game to the G, increases our chances for a win and maybe preserves our energy for the next game, we should do so. Yes $ are important but in this so called flag window, we should see the flag first and cash later.

    It's been a good spectacle in the past and provided much needed funds. But we are a bettervteam now and ultimately it's about enough points to play finals and getting that elusive cup.

    Go for the cup Mfc.

    Deeves, this game means the world to the locals, in particular the kids. They start gearing up for it three months out. For most of them this is the only live ALF game they get to experience. They are grateful to us for doing this, especially while Kozzie is playing. The locals absolutely idolise him, all the little kids wanna be him. Some things transcend the usual importance of a game of footy.

    The game is not at TIO in Darwin,  it's in Alice Springs.  Totally different.

    Have you taken your medication? where did I complain about about the lions game, I only answered your question about the Lions being downhill skiers nothing more, you were the making excuses about the side not me, I only answered that we had problems all year, but it's best that you take a BEX and a good lie down SON.

    Surely Fremantle won't lose to The Hawks next week.

    The Tassie announcement just added 5 goals to Freos scoreline, the Hawks are racing to add the talent before the draft becomes compromised. Sam Mitchell is smart enough to lose competitively to Freo next week

    • 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.

    • 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.
