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: 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.
