    We'll win, beat GWS in the prelim and then beat Lions on the G for the flag haha

    Thursday is less time for Moore and Daicos to get up too. That's also a win.

    They ruled Daicos out already. He’s two weeks off from even running. Will be lucky to play the prelim.

    I'd pay $1,000 right now for it to just turn out like that.

    Why?

     

    Because it’s a final we absolutely should win against a side who can kick goals quickly if we nap. It’s also Collingwood and losing to them would ruin my day, possibly my weekend.

    I'm away so haven't had the chance to see the Sydney game.

    The Melksham news is devastating on all fronts. Having cemented his spot and done so well this year, to miss out on the finals campaign will be heartbreaking for him. Meanwhile it throws a massive spanner in our forward line thoughts. Having him and Petty go down in the final month is just no good. 

    I suspect it will be TMac who gets that spot. Fingers crossed whatever form he got today, and perhaps next week for Casey again, can translate into AFL level, because if we get the slow, early-2023 TMac, that won't work.

    I don't need to have seen the game today to know that we won't be dropping Turner for anyone except Tomlinson. We are not abandoning that plan now.

    Don't worry mate, just enjoy the fact that we get to play an age old rival with packed G!

    If we lose, well [censored]; I'd rather be involved classic contests against the teams we most want to beat!

    If lose, we'll also get a chance to smash em again!!

    I'm sure it's already been said but this QF is possibly our make-or-break at the flag.

    Win it, we get a home prelim against Brisbane/Port/St Kilda/GWS.

    Lose it, we get Carlton/Sydney (likely Carlton) in a semi before having to travel to Brisbane/Port.

    The stakes are huge.

    I don't see any other matchup shaping the finals series more than this one.

    Maybe if Port get over Bris that is bigger but still not sold. I think all eyes will be on the G.

    Which was an odd choice from Horse given the form Rivers has been in 

    Yep agreed 

    we're three wins away from being premiers

    it's pretty simple

    win this one and we're in a very, very good position

    for mine...i'm shattered for milkshake - he's been fantastic the back half of this season; such a shame

    OUT: melksham
    IN: plugger mac

    this game is going to be HUGE

    Absolutely [censored] luck with injuries all year. Amazing we’re fourth and two finals at the MCG.

    Hope there’s 95,000 but will probably take a hit in turnout if Thursday night. Atmosphere will be electric!

    Thought it was Montagna that gave us the pump up. King just nodded his head.

    King had us number one seed last week, but when asked to give his GF and Premiership tip, said Collingwood would beat Lions in the GF. The man changes his mind on everything for no good reason every week. Only a few weeks ago, he said Collingwood couldn’t win the flag. They’ve not beaten anyone of note since, but all of a sudden, he thinks they’ll win the flag again.

    The ‘expected scores’ only had Collingwood beating Essendon by 30-something points. Essendon were terribly inaccurate and Collingwood vice-versa. Essendon probably also have the worst form out of any side atm. Not sure you can flip an opinion or change a view based on Collingwood’s win. Essendon literally shirked at contests, it was unbelievable.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
