Looks like Harley Reid will be spending a season at West Coast before choosing where he wants to play

they'll trade with Hawthorn/North for a first and second. Would you want to play for North though?

    As a working full time visual artist, with a background in design, most of the indigenous jumpers suffer from way too much going on, and a distinct lack of clarity and purpose.

    Just for context - Freo’s jumper was designed in conjunction with Alex Pearce, who is from Tassie. So Fremantle’s jumper literally had a map of Tassie on it. 

    I really hope some of the clubs start going for one symbol. There’s heaps of cool First Nations visual language (hello Devil Snake). Be great to see it applied more confidently and with more clarity, and not just filling every literal centimetre of the jumper.

    As a comms professional and speechwriter who sees the same in the word-world, I empathise with you and commend this approach.

    West Coast must really rate Harley Reid!!

    Or perhaps they’re happy to take 3 first round picks off our hands.

    Dees had a loss, and now Collingwood are on the TV.

    I’m predicting a lot of ‘Collingwood will kill us’ posts coming up. 

    Well if you put our Friday night form against how the filth are playing right now, they would [censored] on us from a very great height.

    Just hand Collingwood the flag now. Going to be another grand final massacre for the third year in a row.

    The only club that could remotely challenge them on GF day is Brisbane or possibly Geelong if they come home like a freight train.

    Think I heard something similar last year about round 10

    lots can happen between now and September.

    How long before Harley Reid asks for a trade home? 

    WC might try to split pick 1 and use their picks on the best WA talent

    The only way Collingwood loses this year is if they're having an off day and the opposition is switched on. They're in second gear here and comfortably beating Carlton.

    I can handle losing to Collingwood. But losing to Freo and Carlton would be disastrous.

    And that's what I have been saying, our game plan will be ripped to shreds by this mob, but they are beatable it's just the way you go about it.

    I know this will come across as incredibly defeatist, but I rather not make a grand final, than make one and lose to the Pies.

    I'm sorry I know they have injuries but for WC to only kick 4 goals, that is a disgrace. It's not like they were playing Collingwood or Brisbane. They were playing hawthorn

    Many said the same thing about us in round 10 last year.

    I’m with you.

    They have the potential to absolutely scar a fellow grand finalist for years to come, per GWS, Sydney, Port (2007)

    game over 

    The Blues are not the real deal. Doubt they’ll make finals 

    really expected a better effort from them

    Pies applying full ground pressure like Cats of last year and us of 21. It's a simple game but obviously the biggest challenge lies in getting 23 blokes on board to work at that rate week in week out. Cats have dropped it off a bit and come back to the pack much like us.

    Who's going to be able to throw the kitchen sink at the Pies this year? Not seeing a likely contender yet...

    Carlton have no defensive structure. Pies very good but oppo teams seem to buy into the media fawning and are beaten before the game starts.

    This is a Carlton side that has come out to make a statement. Spent the week talking about themselves. sitting at 11th at the moment.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
