Without wanting to sound to mean hope you lose, possibly after the siren. 

We conceeded a goal with 13 seconds to go! But nevermind, lady luck smiled upon as today in Perth 😁

    The help of a bottom 6 draw can be seen in Hawthorn.

    They got each of Richmond, North Melbourne and Adelaide twice. They went 6-0 against them.

    The way they play is very attractive and exciting, but it's also important to note that the only finalist they've beaten since Round 13 was Carlton two weeks ago, when they had no one on the bench in the second half, and they only played three finalists in total since Round 13 (lost to Geelong and GWS, beat Carlton).

    It can help but you could have had Fremantle Hawks and GC this year

    He wanted to get paid big dollars at Freeo. Going home would have meant allowing the MFC to negotiate with both WA clubs. 
     

    Let’s not gloss over Dogga’s dog act. 

    Actually even worse, WC probably could match the salary.

    He just didn't want to be in a rebuild.

    Yes it was quite enjoyable until Fremantle failed again. Enjoy the finals.

    Correct. North copped a much harder set of double ups than Hawthorn did. 

    There are no guarantees with a bottom 6 fixture because it is set based on the previous year’s performance. Hawthorn’s just an example of how it can work in your favour.

    As Bt would say....

    Gee wizz

    What a cat amongst the pigeons is the Dockers losing 

    Given their high percentage, they would have catapulted above gws into third or fourth.

    Such a huge loss that sees them miss out on finals. Probably one of the better teams.

    Now gws face off against Swan's. Despite this season's results Gws usually have the measure of Sydney. Should be interesting.

    As for Port winning in Perth....a case of form v lack of with port winning four on a row and docker's the opposite.

    Port are seriously overated in second spot as well having had six games this season decided by a goal or less. And Port won all six of those. Wow.

    Blues are the luckiest club in the comp and go into finals very underdone.

    Unless Curnow plays they are done and dusted. Here's hoping.

    Sydney have a severe case of the wobbles at the wrong time .

    Port despite being as described are choc full of form and confidence.

    I guess Swans are still faves but gws and despite being fifth....the lions are the threat.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Congratulations Freo on earning my most hated team this season. Embarrassed us once, then beat us again and then couldn't get the job done to end Carlton's season.

    I'm the token Blues supporter here, I get some shade thrown my way, but don't forget you are all a bit Navy Blue too 😁

    'Interesting times' in the Docklands today ... All's well that ends well I guess ... 😅

    Nah, Go Northern Fitzroy.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
