Only downside of Adelaide losing is Essendon keeping their spot in the 8

Totally agree. I wanted Essendon out of the 8. Adelaide will rue that loss. A couple of weeks ago they were being talked up about a possible top 4. Now they've dropped

    not sure why people were cheering for the Giants. they are one of the form teams of the comp

    now we face an angry crows team on the rebound 

    People were chearing for the Giants because Adelaide had a much better percentage than GWS. Basically impossible to see how GWS will end with a better percentage than Melbourne, whereas Adelaide there is some (remote) chance. Also, if Adelaide beat Melbourne it will be positive for Adelaide's percentage, negative for Melbourne's which will tighten things up, and it will be an 8-point game.

    Geelong may well give Brisvegas a touch up next week. If we beat Adelaide then staying in the four becomes more Brisbane's problem. 

    I wanted Essendon to beat Geelong because there was more chance of G finishing ahead of Melbourne than Essendon because of that undeserved draw against the Swans. Having said that, if Geelong was going to win I'm glad it was a big win as they've seriously damaged Essendon's already poor percentage. Geelong's percentage is irrelevant to Melbourne.

    Don't understand this thinking. We want Essendon in  the Final 8 because they're less of a threat than GWS, Carlton, Adelaide, Gold Coast (possibly), Sydney & Richmond.

    If we can’t beat any of those teams in September on the G then we don’t deserve to be in the same room as the cup.

     We shouldn’t be worried about playing any team. You can’t Bradbury a whole season and finals series.

    A fantastic win by GWS tonight. I love everything about this side (except of course when they beat Melbourne). Others have posted that Adelaide winning would have been good because after a loss they'll suddenly be wound up and come to play next week. I see it the other way. If anything a loss at home is going to deflate them and demotivate them. In reality they'll come to play regardless of tonight's result and the loss will make it virtually impossible for them to overtake Melbourne even if they win next week.

    I agree. I wasn't saying we should fear any of those teams. I was  responding to the proposition that somehow it would have been better for Adelaide to beat GWS just to keep Essendon out of the 8 with 6 rounds to go. My thoughts about teams winning and losing are based on what's better for Melbourne's prospects, not hatred for other individual teams.

    St Kilda and the Dogs are slowly sliding into nothingness and opening the door for Carlton, GWS and potentially Richmond to try to steal their spots. Adelaide has had a golden chance the past two weeks to solidify their top 8 (or even top 6) spot but have now put themselves in a terrible position.

    I only wanted GWS to win in regards to the Freo pick. A win to GWS keeps Freo firmly down the ladder. Having said that they're doing a good job of that themselves.

    Not surprised. He was either turning it over or dropping the most basic of marks.

    A seriously frustrating player for a guy of his talents.

    And when he takes a mark he often misses the kick as he did with us.

    Essendon are there....

     

     

    the point was meant to be, by the end of the season, we could have 5-13 all with 12 wins...

    And with their draw, largely irrelevant in any case.

    And it was a super contested, tough game. Bit of recovery needed for the crows.

    One less day break and travel doesn't help their cause  either.

    • 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.
