    At least Essendon is out of the 8 and they can stay there

    As seen last season their win at the death game wins a lot of games but doesn’t stand up in finals.

    Curious, have you ever come on this thread to talk about other games?

    All I see is your negativity towards us.

    Bugger it. Thought short break would have cost the pies in the last. Crows should have been out of sight before then. Adelaide were poor in the last. 
    Pies deserve to be top but they are beatable 

    Pies would have won by 5 + if it were a normal break between games. Crows missed an opportunity

    Pulled the shutters up with 4 mins left. Most here would agree that 4 mins was more like 8. They needed to keep creating chances, they literally invited the Collingwood method in through rhe door and stuffed it.

    Really wanted Adelaide to do us a favour, but justice was served in terms of result. Umpires need a full review at the end of year, I just get the impression there is not a big enough base to produce all the cream required for top level. I mean FFS, the standard atm makes Razor look good.

    I think Collingwood's best is only 4th or 5th in the comp after Melbourne, Geelong, Brisbane and maybe Carlton, but they look to have the smallest gap between their best and worst by a fair distance.

    I’ve been watching footy all my 5 decades, and this is the best last quarter team I’ve ever seen. By a galaxy. They are also currently the best team in the AFL, it’s unarguable. And I hate it. 

    Calm down lol

    They’re good but I’d pick us or Geelong over them still.

    5 goals to Weid? Nice job son.

    I also look forward to seeing your thread bumped for the whole week again.

    Bad kicking for goal = trouble

    The Crows have gift wrapped top spot for them.

    This thing with the filth is a mental game play. They know they can come back and beat a side in the last quarter and the opposition have it in their head that the filth will over run them. Change this situation ( another side beating the filth in a tight last quarter ) a couple of times and watch them start to fold.

    Of course, everyone’s beatable, they’re just the hardest to beat. If it stays that way through September, the flag is theirs. 

    😆 I’ll happily come back to this when we’re hoisting the flag

    Melbourne v Collingwood is the Grand Final that the Australian Football League, and Australia, needs.

    If we ever come up against the filth in a final we just have to tag Nick Daicos, completely shut out of the game.

    unarguable? i’d argue the best would be judged by winning flags. they just fluked a win against a team that finished 14th last year. if the crows kicked even just a few of the dozen of points they would have won. sure they have great belief but they are nothing special

    • 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.
