Just a reminder that Geelong had a 100pt win in round 23 in 2018 and then went goalless in the first qtr against us and lost their elimination final.

We also had a 10 goal victory in round 23 last year at the GABBA and then got rolled in the QF.

So take the Collingwood win with a grain of salt.

But also, in the last round of the 2011 season Geelong smashed Collingwood by nearly 100 and won the flag. 

Will see how it goes.

    Well, that sorts out one part of the puzzle, and an MCG final becomes more likely: now, the less-likely outcome of one of Brisbane or Port losing is required for it to be otherwise, if/when we win. If the really unlikely scenario occurs - that they both lose - we get a home final regardless of our result!

    Saturday night's D'Land chat will be fun!

    Essendon are just really really really really really sure the issues are with poor coaching choices.

    Now it's Brisbane's turn, they have to win their game.

    Wow 3 goals Essendon. Great game for Friday night football.

    And to think a couple of months ago they were 5th & the media actually bought up a potential top 4 finish.

    Haven't Essendon fans had a great 2 weeks 😂

    Bombers 11 wins consisted of 4 against north and WC

    still a rabble

    7000 days without winning a final

    Rutten was a better coach than Scott  at least the defence was tighter

    loving it!!

    Well, that was a damp squib last night. I hope the rest of the round isn't as dull.

    Interesting to see how the Dogs respond tonight. Going into the Cattery at $1.55, a venue they haven’t been victorious at since 2003.

    That game was a dead rubber as Collingwood had already sewn up top spot and rested a couple. Still, it wasn’t an ideal lead in for them. I think us playing Sydney is a great lead in as they’re a high pressure side and will have a home final to play for.

    Bashing your head into a brickwall type of fun I reckon.

    Perversely my favourite match now is watching in Hope for the cats to get smashed at home tonight.

    And a win against Hawks and only five interstate games excluding Gather round.

    I still can't see how we lost that QF

    You’d be happy then Goffy?

    Very happy and I played it beautifully; switched off at half time.

    I will give Geelong the benefit with all their injured players being legit but a win this week might have had them missing the eight by that goal to the swans last week. Would that have given them grounds to have a word to the AFL about more favours.

    Hope the Dees really compete tomorrow and thrash Sydney in the dead rubber

    Not the time to go easy We must make a statement and be a real contender

    I'm guessing if you're an Essendon player you would not want to turn up day 1 of pre season unfit or not motivated 

    Jake Stringer, come on down!!!

    I turned off the Pies v Bombers game before 1/4 time, and watched a B grade movie on Netflix instead. At least watching Gal Gadot strut across the screen was pleasing to the eye, as opposed to that basket case of a football match.

    I have to admit though, that the game standard and result gave me delight in 2 ways:

    1. The Bombers look pathetic and miss finals again
    2. Pies supporters think their game plan will stack up in finals

    Why Suns, if Roos win we could possibly do a deal with WC for 1?

    It won’t happen of course.

    I can’t see us getting pick 1, so want the Suns to finish above Freo to give us a better pick

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
