So many clubs I just wish would let go of the raft and sink into oblivion.

Did I use up all my credits cursing West Coast and Hawthorn?

Divine favour well spent to be sure, but still, what animal do I need to sacrifice to make Collingwood falter and finish outside the 8 on percentage?

Realistically they could lose their last 4 games (Blues, Swans, Lions and finally to us) and in the process give up their spot to a late-surging Lions who also have a draw.

They'll need another draw for that to be a possibility, Goffy.

Nice to contemplate...

    Brisbane have a draw!

    Also Essendon and the Crows, but Brisbane is my top candidate, especially with them playing the Magpies in the second-last round just for added drama.

    Hi 640MD. I remember him. He wore a torn up old red & blue cap to our games and was part of the 'grog squad' that stood behind the cheer squad with Ian Ball and 'Animal' in the 1980's. I started running the CS with some friends from around the mid 80's when we sat near the race in the Northern Stand. From memory our immediate predecessors were the Galvins and a guy called Peter Burley? It sounds like you were from the era before them maybe?

    Yes sounds like John   the grog squad

    Ah, I see what you're saying: beaten out by one of their 3 current co-draw-ers (or any new ones in this crazy season!) Those 3 need to make up a bit of percentage but, yes, nice.

    So Collingwood basically have no forward line, injuries, yet still find ways to win. 

    Going back to that rankine call, did the ump not see him bounce it the 1st time? You can usually tell when someone runs to far. It just didn't look like it

    I think that’s what happened. That’s not even close to having run too far, especially in the modern game.

    Thats a clear, critical mistake from the umpire. I’d say he didn’t see his first bounce.

    I don’t understand the point of 4 umpires if one of them can’t over turn that. I don’t blame the umpire for making a mistake. He couldn’t see the bounce. I thought that was the point of the other 3.

    Swans v us

    I think we’ll be lucky to make a prelim with our forward line. Still plenty of time but having suffered these issues for the last 2 years I don’t hold much hope especially with our underperforming midfield.

    And of course Chad Warner gets a fine only. 

    How did Kozzy get a week for his hit to Soligo when he got up and kept playing, yet all these other hits like Newman and Warner are just getting a fine for the similar acts and impact? Garbage 🗑

    And there seems a complete lack of desire (or opportunity) for the umpires to ever consult on clear mistakes. It’s is like they are fearful of each other. Only time it seems to happen is boundary line throwing (other than arc).  They would be encouraged not to but maybe in the last 2 minutes of each quarter (or game) they can? Of course, very little will change, if anything. Like when umpire does bad bounce at start of a quarter. Why don’t they reset the clock??? Rant over.

    Putting them through the big sticks when everyone else is spraying them. 
    And I reckon the Giants would be goalless if Hogan wasn’t playing.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
