    They choked badly against the doggies in the 21 PF so they have psychological scars to overcome. No guarantee they’ll make it but I think they will. 

    That’s what they said about us in 21 re playing a PF in WA. I didn’t spot our mental scars that night and I highly doubt  Port will be losing a final in Adelaide… they’re just a much better side in 23.  Just hope it’s not us that have to play them there.

    We have the defensive game to win at AO if required. I reckon we're the team others will fear most given how we strangled the pies offensive game. No one will want to play us.

    And i'm delighted the cast were beaten. they were not a factor at all after quarter time.

    We just posted simultaneously Wells

    I agree. They are a better team than 21. Time will tell if they can push through to the granny but they are very well placed now. I can't see anyone out of us, pies, Port and Lions winning it. And the Lions are showing some familiar frailties again. 

    as i said in my previous post, i think we have the game plan to win at AO if required.

    Our chance to finish top 2 was taken when we lost to them by 4 points. That was every bit an 8 point game. So most likely we’ll finish 3rd and play them week 1, a game I think we can win.

    My ladder predictor exercise after last night says that IF we can beat the cats next week, top of ladder finish is now a possibility on percentage from Pies and Power.  Power finishing top relies on a couple of tough wins needed for them. 

    Lose to the cats and not possible.

    Better chance of second, third more possible, at least allowing a minimum home final in week two.

    Just saying having seen the Dees live last week.

    Watched the last 5 mins only. Biggest take out is that the dissent rule does not apply to Hawkins. 

    It wasn’t just Hawkins. JHF audibly told the umpire to F Off when he got paid HTB and nothing was done. 

    Dissent rule is no longer flavour of the month 🙄

    Pies look tired. They could easily drop some games and give us the chance to overtake them. Crows, suns and doggies in their next 3. Not an easy run at all.

    I have felt that for quite some period of this season teams have found an extra gear in order to take us on . We were THAT scalp.

    I sense the mantle has moved to Collingwood.   Works for me.

    David King's first comment at the half time commentary " A coaching masterclass by Chris Scott" King  is a jerk at times, more often than not.

    The ‘King’ of the ‘goldfish’ commentators only ….. no awareness of the past, absolutely zero concern for the bigger picture within a season. Whoever is in form and winning during his astonishingly limited 5 minute zone of reflection is the obvious team to beat/likely premier. Am stunned that he’s presented as a serious commentator.

    History shows Dangerfield would call a ambulance for a paper cut.  There has been several times he has taken himself off the ground and out of the game because he felt the slightest twinge.  Unlike our man Clarry who played out a game with a torn hammy.

    Port are due for a loss. 

    They are and now teams will put more time into studying what they do and how to beat them. Let's see how they go in the 2nd half of the year. I'll happily play then anywhere and be confident we would win

    Was it ever going to be any other way?

    Their cache only allows for one front of mind thing at a time and right now it's dangerous tackles. Dissent to the back of the bus.

    It’s a fair point you can’t be at 100% for the whole year, this time last year we would have been favourites still and Geelong were just starting to get rolling

    Port is now the true test of the theory that if you peak too early you'll be too banged up by September. Theyre 12-2.  Massive mid season bye. Dont play again till July.

    Some difficult games coming up but can see them finish on 17 or 18 wins  definitely top2.   Home finals.

    Must be one of the favourites unless  Butters Rozee Wines etc get run over by a bus.

    There’s many such players. Conversely, you won’t find many players with a short torso and long legs. Not really suited to Aussie Rules.

    Port have 16 days between games. We got 10 for our bye . We always seem to get screwed by the fixture

    I hate Hawkins, Rohan + Scott. I think I've forgotten another person I hate. No matter.

    I kinda like Stewart, Blicavs, Henry (the odd looking one) & Zac Guthrie.

    I hate Jee-long (clap/clap/clap) but not as much as I used to; cos Selwood is no longer there.

    Yes but we will have 3 x 10 day breaks in a row.

    We will be the most rested, freshest team in the comp ready to take on the rest of the season.

    • 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.
