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. 

So… you’ll be…. going for…. Geelong… tonight? Never thought I’d see the day.

    Lol, Cotrell, Silvagni and Motlop have combined for 9 of their 11 goals.

    Please. I’ll be watching a movie and drinking wine to avoid watching them play.

    Thai whisky isnt as strong as western plonk. Having said that, hundreds of 'farang' have died here from alcohol abuse.Not unusual for a farang tourist to run naked down the street or throw tv's and furniture out of hotel windows. They cant handle humidity and Asian grog at the same time.

    Maybe they're just furious at the standard of umpiring in the AFL.

    I’m interested in your thoughts on how you think Port is going to “load” manage from here.

    So we're...gulp...barracking for Hawthorn tomorrow in the vague hope that they could move above the Dockers by season's end?

    Not sure what you mean.

    How is that related to my Bangkok gag?

    It’s not. I just wanted to tag you in the post so you see it 😂

     

    I am genuinely interested to know what you think Port will do for the remainder of the H&A season to make sure they hit peak form in September. 
    I feel like they’ve gone too hard too early and tinkering now is very risky.

    Port defence looks poor.

    Getting towelled up by Silvani and Motlop!

    I'm just going to whisper this quietly, but we are halfway through the round and so far every single result has fallen in our favour to absolute perfection.

    We are now at minimum a game and good percentage clear of 5th, which can be only one team, with the rest of the top-8 chasing from at least two games behind.

    At the other end, Gold Coast and the Swans have both pulled ahead of the Dockers.

    Carlton as I type this are going into the final quarter 5 goals up against Port, which would put them a win and a draw ahead of Freo while also... just maybe... cracking the dome at Port.

    Carlton fans to be up and about again.

    Carlton equivalent of MFCSS is the eternal lament 'Great too late, where was this in April to June?'.

    They'll be having very mixed feelings at the moment, especially with the Harry McKay injury.

    Personally I hope they make finals by percentage over Geelong and then knock Essendon out in the elimination final, just because that would be the most possible pain for Cats and Bombers.

    Top 3 on the Coleman are all in teams outside the 8

    Hinkley will regret this game. he might reckon after 12 wins a loss is fine. but you don’t flirt with form. 

    i reckon in a months time we won’t be speaking of Port in the same terms as we are right now

    they have the Pies/Crows/Cats away. reckon they win one of them and i wouldnt bet against the crows either

    Great to see Hinkley sulking on the bench instead of strutting his smug mug on the boundary line.

    It's not beyond the realm of possibility that we could snatch second on percentage by year's end

    But that requires us winning all the remaining games right? Maybe lose one at the most.

    With Port losing handily today, Melbourne's 17 game winning streak from round 20 of 2021 to round 10 of 2022 remains the longest since St Kilda won 19 in a row in 2009.

    Can’t help but wonder if Kenny’s contract will end up being the undoing for Port. He needed them to be up and about, but can they sustain it for a long season? They’ll have doubts. I don’t see them preparing to be at their best in September.

    It's fundamentally based on Port losing it big time (and I can see this happening) and us dropping one, at worst two. But if you look at the draw, it's possible. And Brisbane has a tougher rum imo than we do

    Don't think Port will beat Pies, are 50/50 (away) against Adelaide and won't beat Cats away. That'd certainly get the wheels wobbling.

    • 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.

      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.
