This just frustrates me. Cats don’t really have any stars in their prime anymore. Sure Danger and Cameron are great but well past their prime.

It’s hard to understand how this team keeps going top 4 other than to think this is all to do with the footy dept.

It’s the nature of this season. 

Sides are going to make top 4 who just aren’t at the level of top 4 sides of years past. 

I believe this is the first ever season in which all 18 clubs have had a stretch of going 1-4 or worse. 

Sydney last week lost by 100.

Port just struggled to put away a bottom 6 side (us).

GWS has lost on expected score for almost every one of their last 6 wins. 

Geelong has multiple 10 goal losses and struggled last week against a bottom 4 side.

Brisbane isn’t even in the top 4!

    The Hawks are up and comers who are having a "red hot go".

    To see them them knock off the baggers would make this weekend almost tolerable.

    True, but the weekend hasn't been that bad. C'wood & Essendon lost.  (and we did not get beaten by 100 points as many posters were predicting).

    I spoke to a few members at the footy last night who said they got an email from the club this week asking their opinion about Wildcard round. Anyone else get this?

    So very depressing…

    Far be it from me to approve of Hawthorn being good, but are there any non-Melbourne teams you'd be happy with being good?

    No. I have seen far too many enemies win Flags

    Just turned on the footy to see that Carlton are getting humped and Curnow has just hobbled off the ground. As Bruce McAveney might stay. Delicious!

    Something that nearly ever member of Demonland likes to ignore. 
    In a competition this close, luck and especially injury luck, is one of the key factors in winning premierships.

    Hawks only 2.4% behind Carlton now. Keep up their rate of scoring and they'll overtake them on the ladder.

    It’s amazing how exciting football can be by moving the ball quickly, tackling hard and hitting targets. If only …….

    I hate the Hawks

    but they are playing blindly footy at the moment. very hard not to admire the way they go about it

    • 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.
