Why try in the last round when you can improve your draft hand by 2 places.

    What happens if Suns put in their typical years end shocker and Norff have a chance of winning?

    Win and Reid goes straight back to Eagles. Norff game is first which complicates it more..

    This week’s round is a race to the bottom for a number of teams.  We will know the landscape before our bounce.  Want to death ride the shockers one last time and I hope we get up.  
    bombers stung into action against pies who don’t care.  Roos hawks and lions.  Crows Port and demons.  And in the august premiers special?  The giants with Carlton getting a bag of injuries.

    Can't help but have a laugh at the AFL who were salivating over all the final 8 contenders 2 weeks ago. How will we manipulate the fixture so we'll have maximum exposure.

    Now all they have is a yawn fest with GWS v Blues being the only game of interest assuming Dogs can beat "cue in the rack" Geelong.

    Perhaps the competing clubs could take a cue from the pole vaulters last night and just declare all the games a draw.

    Also ironic that the one extra game of the season forced on us by the Gather round fiasco has been such a fizzer.

    It’s hard for the AFL to make an argument for the ‘integrity of selection’ when you look at whose being rested by  teams outside of the 8 this week.

    They should implement a draft lottery, or implement a system where a limited amount of changes are able to me made each week over the last 4 rounds. They do it with rotations, and they can easily do it with team selection.

    This weeks footy is a joke. I’m particularly annoyed at Geelong. They waffle on about the importance to their supporters of playing down there, and then scrap half the team for this weeks home game because it doesn’t suit them. It’s really poor.

    Not so sure Geelong ,particularly Scott would toss the cue in the rack and go fishing at Lorne. They still have a game to win at home in front of thousands of kitty cats.

    They'll want to win. Pride??? One rung on the draft ladder is  nothing to them. Mother time has caught up with Hawkins Rohan , Smith and some. Time to go avacado farming.

    Having said that,doggies wont get a better chance of winning at kitty litter park.

    I wish the Crows would stop crying about last week. Entitled knobs. They kicked 4g +8pts to 1p in last qtr.!!!  Thats why they lost.

    If GWS beat blues (highly possible) they wouldnt of made it anyway. Who says crows will definitely beat the Eagles in Perth ?

    Stop crying. Your fault you missed finals.

    The karma bus hit the AFL.

    Stopped, and backed back over the AFL.

    The AFL would have had their final round drama if the Keays goal had been awarded.

    And the reason it wasn't awarded is they've had 14 years to get the goal review system, brought in to prevent exactly such howlers, right.

    And have still not got it right.

    So assuming Lions beat the Saints, Port have nothing to play for on Sunday and their opponent Richmond has even less.

    Will be interesting to see if Port have a few Sunday morning niggles

    Looking at all the selected teams, apart from us and the Blues, seems everyone else is taking the [censored] with selections.

    What if the AFL set draft positions (for bottom 8 teams only) in RD 22,  unless you go on to make finals? That way teams that can still make finals in R22, will be too far out to purposefully try and lose as it only sabotages their finals chances? Also means R23 & R24 have no impact on draft selections unless you drop out of the top 8. And if you drop out of the 8 with one round left, that means you can still get into finals. As you’ll only be percentage or a game out. 

    Won’t cover everything but should at least mean only the 15th/16th/17th/18th teams will try and lose to secure draft positions in RD22 (which is what’s happening with field tactics anyways).

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
