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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
