The Demons were far too strong for the West Coast Eagles at our home away from home at Optus Stadium in Perth defeating them by 63 points and jumping back into the Top 3 at the end of Round 4.

It's Game Day and the Demons are looking to solidify their place in the Top 4 with the added opportunity of boosting their percentage against an injury-riddled team. They are returning to Optus Stadium, the site of their drought breaking premiership and a ground where they hold the best winning rate in the entire league.

Are you referring to this one? If so, he won’t even get a fine.

The bulldogs are the only team that consistently get soft free kicks directly in front of goal.

I have no idea who to barrack for here.

Throwdogs

We might actually get a top 5 pick. Thanks Jacko.

How Clayton Oliver’s first 150 games stack up with modern AFL greats

Geez I've felt a bit sorry for them after the weekend and now, if I didn't suffer from a horrible bout of MFCSS, I'd be lacing up my dancing shoes and heading to the cemetery to dance on some graves.

Fixed it for you @sue 😜
