After being pretty bitterly disappointed by almost everything football related last week...

Starting with the death ride games; not much to gain. Obvious Carlton v Freo is a big deal as it is both a game Freo would be expecting to win and it would directly lift Carlton over them thanks to the Blue's bizarre percentage.

Freo lose that, then one of Richmond or Sydney will step ahead of them. I'd prefer Richmond to get the win just because I think the Swans will keep clawing up the ladder enough to pass Freo later, while Richmond need every win they can get.

bunch of other games just keep teams ahead of Freo, rather than pulling in front of them.

 

And for our security in the top 4.

Collingwood over Dogs, and Demons over Saints, would put us a game and a big chunk of percentage ahead of our two main pursuers.

One of Essendon or the Crows will go to 9 wins, Essendon is probably better for us because the Crows have much higher percentage and Essendon will presumably choke late in the season.

Also, if West Coast decide to go the biff and get a bunch of players from both sides suspended that would be the only unpredictable or useful outcome of the Brisbane - West Coast game. I mean, legend has it that back before the Eagles unilaterally relegated themselves, there was a bit of a Eagles-Lions rivalry.

    A 16 point weekend for us (2x 8 point games)

    A Demon loss and a Dogs win is unthinkable (MFCSS)

    Everytime I see Sydney play, I wonder if Heeney is actually having a just above average career. He's been played forward but only kicked 200 goals from 160 games.

    I dunno. Considering the hype and talent, always expected him to be better than he has been

    Lol, team selection much more interesting than tonight’s game it seems. Not a bad game though

    We can include cricket talk in this right...?

    couldn't agree more

    thought a few years back he was going to be out and out superstar

    instead he's a serviceable roleplayer

    Tonights game is not a bad one either.

    Yes. Not great. 

    Nope... feel like the press and build up over there has unfortunately starting to take a minor toll.

    Need to remain composed here.

    Can’t wait for Franklin to leave the game. Just turned the game on 10 minutes ago and he’s gotten away with a blatant throw then appeals for deliberate out of bounds and gets it when there’s was nothing in it. 
    Really hoping Tigers win.

    I reckon they made a great calling choosing to bowl. Put the pressure on us, and it worked.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
