Hawthorn are going to be a huge challenge next week.

They will be.

And a big factor is we will struggle to come up from last nights game such was it's intensity. 

I'm glad the Hawks have travel, and one less day to recover.

They will look to to to us exactly what they did to the Pies - run us of our feet

    Port probably have second locked up, and the all important home final, if they can beat Freo on the road next week.

    That would be crud apples.

    Look, no one wants to hear it now, but this Port game is why we shouldn’t sell games to NT. Why would we give up home ground advantage in such a tight race? Lost that by less than a goal. If that was 4 points we are second.

    Its a losing mentality selling games.

    Yeah it’s definitely not a football first decision by our club.

    Hopefully we get rid of it some time in the near future.

    We've dropped a few too many games against top 8 teams in close margins that we should have won.

    Another soft call of a goal.

    Watching the Richmond game and they took 90 seconds to decide if Riewoldt took a mark on the line or not.

    Last night they made a game deciding call in 35 seconds.

    If we can win one of the next two, we will have a home final against the Pies without Nick and a double chance.

    That’s probably our best result at this stage.

    How ironic would it be for finishing 4th being the best option?

    "INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE!!"

    - as per... every. time.

    The umpires are exonerated for their decision making.

     

    Jonno Ralph - letting us all know that the AFL have 'ticked off' the decision on Petracca's non goal last night... FMD.

    100% agree now.

    Probably good to see the Lions beat Collingwood next week just to dent Collingwood’s confidence and form further, and Port winning at least the same number as us after today.

    We will beat Collingwood in a qualifying final at the MCG. We would be underdogs in the other games. 
     

    If we did finish 4th, the loser of that match (1st v 4th) will probably end up playing Carlton at the MCG the following week. Still would prefer that situation as I’m confident we’d beat Collingwood.

    And with Moore maybe touch and go.

    Just need to get it done against the Hawks then we can do whatever we need to against the Swans to get the final match up we want.  The exact reason why all last round games should be played at the same time.

    Hopefully not season deciding!

    • 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.
