For those who have the entire fixture in their heads, whom should I barrack for between Essendon and Cats?  (Assuming I hate them both and fear Geelong a bit more in the finals)

    Even if they lose today they could only lose 2 more (Geelong and Collingwood). Unless they drop another and we win all our games we can’t mathematically catch them. 

    Agree

    Assuming Port lose today

    We'd need to win 6 and they'd need to lose 3

    Won't happen

    Mind you Port also have the game against Adelaide ??

    A draw would be almost perfect

    Port got cocky resting so many players this week. 
    They’ve gone hard early in the season because Hinkley is under so much pressure. But the reality is, it could come back and bite them. July premiers do not September premiers make.

    Essendon have a very soft draw. 

    Correct. 
    Geelong still have to play Brisbane in Brisbane, Port and Pies. If they’re to overtake us we need to lose 2-3 more games and realistically they have to win every game.

    Port could easily lose the next four:

    Carlton - doesn't look good

    Collingwood

    Adelaide

    Geelong - at Deliveranceville

    Cats, then we’d be 2 games clear of 5th.

    I can't believe I am enjoying watching Carlton serve it up to Port. They are doing to Port what we did to the Pies - crowding their wide-playing ball carriers and making them accountable. Pressure really works.

    hedge your bets and just barrack for the draw.

    Carlton fans call insufficient intent for any ball that goes out of bounds. 

    I don't blame them.  The current stupid and inconsistent  'interpretation' is a lottery and you have to buy a ticket to win.

    Port Adelaide showed arrogance and disrespect by dropping seven players in their match with Carlton.

    They might find that their previous good form is not so easy to switch back on.

    I hope Carlton gives them a hiding. Furthermore they deserve to be punished for imposing  that dreadful dirge about being alone.

    Port look second rate. Could it be they got their loading wrong ? They were lucky to win last week against the Bombers as well.. 

    or are they leaving their loading run later…

    At Marvel Stadium now, the Blues are looking like 4 strong wins on the trot ...

    They’ve beaten Gold Coast, Freo and Hawks. Let’s calm down. 
    This is a good win, but Port absolutely cocky to drop this many players for a rest and think they’ll waltz it in. Rubbish call.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
