    I can't recall the last time when 5 games out from season's end that the performance of teams below us were almost irrelevant to our long term position.

    Port and Brisbane are the main games in town

    Let the others scrap....

    I'm still hoping we win all our games, including a big percentage earner on Sunday, Coll. don't win by much tomorrow, and lose the next three.  Meanwhile Port lose one game, and Bris don't have any percent boosters......and we end up minor Premiers!!!

    I know it doesn't matter if we're first or second....but I quite like being minor Premiers. Last time we went on and won the Major prize!!

    Um, Collingwood are 3 games ahead, plus percentage.

    Go Cats. Go Dockers.

    I feel so dirty, good thing I have no pride.

    Won't be surprised if the Saints knock off the media anointed Premiers elect.

    I’m hoping the giants beat the swans. Don’t want the swans to have something to play for when we play them in the last round.

    They'll find something to play for ... Teams always do against us.

    I distinctly recall when they didn’t find something to play for against us and we’d still get spanked 🏏

    For once I just want a team to put the cue firmly in it's rack against us. I see lots of NON-MFC games (to bring this back on topic) where one team has gone to lunch yet we'll play them the next week and it's back to work.

    Yes, the last few weeks have certainly felt like that… shame about Carlton’s resurgence really… hoping for a Giants and saints win this week… likelihood is quite low though.

    North will fold this weekend. Nice percentage boost coming up

    I want Geelong and Carlton out of the finals.

    Who to barrack for tonight to increase the odds of that happening?  Arrrghhh, it's all too complicated- advise please.

    I leave aside the Geelong Port game - as Jaded said, too damaging to the soul to even think about it.

    For the first time I can think of Geelong is the lesser of two evils here. It also helps I won't have to watch Tom Hawkins waddle around.

    Ok ok I’ll just barrack against Port 

    Not FOR Geelong tho. Nobody call the psych ward.

    I'm thinking because of the influence behind closed walls in the Port Players Rooms that there would be a fair amount of dismay and quite a lot of annoyance between the players and Coach, 

    This bloke can be construed as neglecting his interest and their interests and welfares, by his cognisance of  some of them returning to the ground.

    • 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.
