    Didn't know where to put this, here is as good as any.....as good as last night was and yes we are on top of the ladder, a little reality check may be required.

    We have played one team in the current top 8.

    That’s true, but the Dogs and Sydney are better than their current ladder position - or in Sydney’s case, were at the time we played them. 

    But yes, Collingwood, Port Adelaide, Adelaide and Geelong will all be tougher tests than most of our last month of footy.

    Cant understand why the umpires celebrate those numpties  except The Bont. Top 5 player in Afl.

    Easily top 5, maybe even top 3

    I'll tune in tomorrow to see what Kane Cornes and Matthew Lloyd say. They generally have 15 players each in his top 3-5 in the comp.

    This could be the perfect day with Richmond, Essendon & Collingwood losing 

    What’s that I hear? Someone prematurely writing off Collingwood?

    Come back to me at the end of the game.

    Cheer up, two more teams are outside the 8 because we played them. :laugh:

    They will be tough but I reckon we are finding a groove and expect us to be competitive at the very least. I thought the attitude last night was exemplary of how we need to play against those sides.

    There was a 10 minute patch where the umpiring was killing the Pies v Crows match. But it has turned into a craacker of a game now.

    Adelaide are good but if you keep missing easy opportunities in front of goal Collingwood will make you pay. 

    Pies are an excellent contest team with Sidebum, de Goey, Crisp, Mitchell, etc.

    Suns winning is a great result for us death riders. Confident that Richmond are a better team than Freo and we really want Freo to finish below the Suns. 👏

    Also takes the pressure off the Suns coming into next week against us.

    ABC commentators lamenting draw with Tigers, Pies, Druggies not going so well after 5 day break. 
     

    We got North. 
    Maybe we should play Essendon and Pies v Tigers either side of Anzac Day short breaks.

    Flip side of that is it gives them a bit of confidence before our game.
    Also no way we take them lightly now considering Richmond gave us a good game last week.

    Tigers had six day break.

    What the squelch just happened at half time of Pies-Crows?

    Noble obviously slipped down to deliberately draw a high contact, but Dawson then clearly caught him 'actually' high, Rankine decides he needs to prove to the world he's a git by running over to shove Noble while he's lying flat, and then Maynard comes in and has some kind of epileptic fit while holding Rankine's collar.

    Bizarro juvenile times all round.

    You can add Richmond to the list of teams not winning the week after playing us.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
