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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
