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

    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

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      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.
