For those thinking Collingwood could lose next week, just a reminder that they’re playing the team that beat West Coast and North by a combined margin of 10 points in their prior 2 games.

    Agreed. And they will need the win to prove to themselves that they’re still the team to beat. If they lose to Essendon it’ll be a disgrace.

    Remind me to not go on here next week when the 'IS RESTING PLAYERS RISKING FORM?' debate starts. I already avoid any posts that mention 'loading' on either side of that debate, haha

    Collingwood are going down like flies so I think I need to accept that Brisbane are going to win. Murphy looks like he's out so Collingwood losing to the DONS looks like a real possibility.

    As I mentioned to Jaded, the trend overseas of resting starters in games that don't matter is old news

    If it was allowed, I'd be happy to play Casey against Sydney if that game had no impact on our finals position

    But there's the whole disrepute stuff etc that would rear it's ugly head

    Why risk injury to the best players? Makes zero sense

    Sure if you say so

    thats not what the ladder and match reports say though , is it 

    Match reports and the ladder say we lost. But in terms of form and momentum, we won. And isn’t that what matters more?

    Wow didn’t think of that.

    That would make Sydney a critically must win if Pies lose next week.

    Not sure it’ll matter, if we beat Hawthorn this week, it won’t matter whether we win or lose next week, we will still finish 4th. Only way of changing that is if Lions magically lose next week or Port loses, all unlikely outcomes.

    This team has beaten them six times straight, if they needed to prove something it was tonight.

    Big difference in quality between Lions and Dons don’t you agree? 
     

    Pies defense is poor, especially without Moore, but their real issue is their midfield. It is not great, especially without Daicos.

    How many UNLIKELY outcomes have we had in the last five weeks. No team is easy.

    Elliot smacked his head on the ground there. No concussion test?

    WE NEED AN INDEPENDENT SYSTEM.

    He’s gone off to get tested

    Yes 4th place is likely our spot (assuming we win this week) so the Swans game would be a dead rubber.

    I wouldn’t rule out Freo beating Port if they’re near their best, but unlikely.

    Tonight’s result would’ve definitely played havoc with peoples ladder predictor.

    BT just said Hipwood is milking the clock. Five goals up with a minute on the clock isn’t milking the clock, right? Serious question.

    Keep in mind, we have to win 1 more or Carltank lose both to stay top 4. I’d be happy to worry about week 1of the finals once that little issue is resolved.

    Bloody hell Collingwood, letting Brisbane get %. 

    Collingwood has done well with its outs, class team, but they are looking damaged now. Elliot won't play next week. 

    Hasn't Ginnivan improved.

    No, but BT probably thought Collingwood were still a chance

    Just to be clear we beat Carlton. That was a goal.

    It's still a L next to our name and pretty much cost us top 2 spot.

    • 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.
