    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: 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.
