    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.

    • 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.
