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.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
