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.

    And I reckon the Giants would be goalless if Hogan wasn’t playing.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
