    Carlton has a lot to play for. Eagles don’t. 

    They still couldn’t play any worse. 

    Never even had an attempted scoring shot all quarter.

    Don't know if anyone has raised this but the way the Blues are despatching WC they are putting finals out of reach for Collingwood.

    We would have to lose by something like 150 points for the filth to make up the percentage gap they now face...and that ain't happening.

    I think West Coast need to handball it more , particularly to players under more pressure. Regretting changing my tip just before the game.

    If I've read the ladder correctly, Fremantle make the eight if they beat Port next week and any of Carlton (v St Kilda), Hawthorn (v North) or Footscray (v GWS) lose.  They're in with a show but have to win to be any chance.

    This is very impressive by carlton. Basically a makeshift forward line & a captain who is making sure his team get over the line

    Freo finals chance… 30%

    Has it been said that West Coast were bookies favourites in this game?

    Would be ironic if Carlton miss the finals in the last round again, once is bad enough.

    I’m calling it: Collingwood have missed finals.

    If the Blues pile on some more goals in the last quarter, it will probably seal Collingwood's fate 😃

    Wow. I just checked some scores 

    Brisvegas and Jeeelong Choke

    So frustrating we couldn’t sneak into September 

    Nobody is a favorite this year…

    How Fagan continually puts up with that perenial big game choker in ERIC HIPWOOD Bafles me. Until they banish him and a few others who choke in big games, they will go nowhere

    Collingwood's fate is sealed already.   They're gorn, as their current premiership price of $501 would indicate.

    As disappointing as it is to see Carlton win they have at least made it virtually impossible for Collingwood to squeeze into a finals position now. Also, even a win against St.K next week is likely see the Blues travel to the Gabba for an elimination final.

    Ballarat and MARS stadium are getting a very important footy match next week with huge ramifications for many teams.

    And for the AFL they have hit the nail on the head in terms of suspense with a SUPER SUNDAY.

    •Dogs v Giants

    •Carl v StK

    •Frem v Port

    Cripps has been outstanding, but The Eagles have been embarrassingly bad. Their kicking efficiency is unbelievably poor.

    Where’s the pile on on Collingwood?

    From premiers to missing the 8. 

    So sad.

    • 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?
