Dogs  v hawks will be interesting.  Our contested footy strategy was one that was supposed to stand up in finals. It will be interesting to see if the Hawks attack minded game holds up against the dogs.

    The Hawks remind me a bit of the Demons of '87

    They are riding the crest of a wave and if they can get past the Doggies, their probable SF opponent will be the Cats at the MCG

    Port in Adelaide would be a lot tougher but Port are coming off a straight sets exit in last years finals campaign, so the pressure would be on them

    I can see the Hawks winning at least 2 finals

    If the Cats go out in straight sets (very possible) will they get the same heat after winning a flag as we did? No finals and straight sets is worse than 2x straight sets.

    Hope Port win tonight. Have no issue with them & I'm sure Ken would like to shut a few down.

    Think Brisbane will easily beat Carlton. 

    But tomorrow night will be great.  See how the younger hawks cope with finals pressure.

    I have minimal interest in the finals this year.

    But I hope Jee-long get bundled out in straight sets. I dislike Bris-bane too. And I'm not overly fond of Hawthorn. Come to think of it, I don't like Port either. 

    That leaves the Dogs, Swans, GWS and Carlton. Actually I don't particularly like Carlton or Dogs either. 

    So, that leaves the Swans and GWS. I probably have a slight preference for GWS ... they'll go crazy in western Sydney if they win. ("They'll" ... perhaps that should be singular?)

    whoever loses tonight goes out in straight sets. whoever wins tomorrw makes a prelim in sydney.

    whichever sydney team wins makes the grand final and probably wins the flag.

    I never imagined I'd forgive GWS for the whole Scully saga, but it did lead to us getting Jesse, which led to May, and eventually, a premiership. I think that helped me move on from it.

    Honestly, I'd be happy to see Jesse win a flag, and since I don’t know any GWS supporters, I’d be fine with them taking it too – no risk of dealing with anyone insufferable!

    The rest can go in the bin. Go Giants.

    • 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.
