The nut please, YM

Back in March I presented my predictions for season 2007 HERE.

Now, I must confess that a few things happened that threw a bit of a spanner in the works and some of my "fearless" predictions didn't come to fruition. For that I apologize - particularly the one about today's contestants Fremantle and Melbourne finishing top four. Kangaroos and Brisbane fighting it out for the wooden spoon was a bit of blooper too now that I think about it.

However, I did put my reputation on the line and, despite the fact that I have a good excuse in that my crystal ball was stuffed at the time, I accept the full responsibility for my errors.

Now, one of my better predictions was that Hawthorn would make the eight and, given St. Kilda's loss last night, it would be safe to say that the Hawks cannot now fall out of the eight unless they suffer two defeats of more than 100 points at the hands of the Bulldogs and Sydney in their remaining games. Even if they happened to find themselves embroiled in some deep and dark controversy or in some major spot of bother over the next eight days, that won't happen.

So to Mr. Yze Magic who responded to my prediction about the Hawks making the finals with the derogatory statement as follows:-

"If Hawthorn make the Finals I will cut off my left nut and mail it to you."

I say - I'll have the other nut now please!

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
