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.

    • 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?
