Only confirms that the AFL have the fix in to make sure C'wood wins enough preceding games to make that an elimination final for C'wood.  (Yes I am paranoid)

Cannot see them beating swans in Sydney or Brisbane in Melb 

Both have to keep winning to ensure home final - big big incentive 

Granted Sydney have a hole to climb out of atm but they are too good not to bounce back at home imo

    There are two MCG games, the other is Rich v GC. 

    They don’t want dead rubbers on the Sunday so they had to put one on Saturday and one on Friday night. 

    Why would the AFL prefer dead rubbers on prime time friday night to Sunday?

    bizarre

    Anyone planning to retire needs to play this game and cheap shot that dog Maynard 🐕 

    Melksham would be the obvious one, right position on the ground and has experience with punch ons. However I'd be shocked if we don't offer him another year.

    McDonald another candidate if he decides to hang it up, give him one last game forward. He's had the angry pills with the umpires lately, he could direct that at Maynard instead.

    The left field option... Lachie Hunter. One final game to get him to 200. He can take out Maynard and win the hearts of Dees fans on his way out.

    Because they want the suspense of the Sunday having top 4/8 impacting games (people will probably watch the Friday night game regardless), and probably to ensure Foxtel has some good games that round.

    I actually hope we play Ben Brown for his final game. He was a huge part of the 2021 flag and deserves a final game. They should put him in cotton wool and just bring him in for that game. I reckon the players would really try get up for him.

    • 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.
