@Matsuo Basho if you want to continue posting here you're going to have to stop baiting people. You've already been warned privately.

You need to call in for predictions to be official.

I thought the doom and gloom was me but it's clearly @Grapeviney. Perhaps it's just @Supermercado. Never fear a good drubbing on QB will bring us back down to earth.

Absolutely agree the he is a muppet. I just didn't want the fact that he is a muppet be the response to the question. I don't happen to agree with him in this case but I thought it was a good discussion point.

Forget the muppet that is saying it but do you agree with BT here?

The Demons headed north for their annual game in Darwin, but the disappointing outcome could only mean they are heading south with the all too familiar failings happening again. A Sam Weideman mark and kick for goal with only 30 seconds remaining in the match could have won it for the Demons, but the kick slid sideways and the team went down by two points. Sam may have been devastated, but the fact that the team could only kick 1 goal 8 behinds in the final quarter lays the blame at the feet of others as well. Max Gawn and Tim Smith equally had easy set shots in those final minutes and missed. Nathan Jones and James Harmes had easy shots on the run and missed, while Jayden Hunt sent one over the boundary for no score. Jeff Garlett and Charlie Spargo fluffed straight forward chest marks, when only metres from goal. But it was just as telling that other forwards barely got a touch for the whole match. Still the Demons led by 22 points in the last quarter when Garlett scored after five minutes. It was all downhill from there, as Melbourne seemed to dig out that old characteristic of not knowing how to put a side away, and not knowing how to win. The Demons let by 25 points at half time when victory was looking all but assured. Getting off to a good start is critical in Darwin, as the mist comes down not long after sunset, so the ball gets more and more slippery. With this lead at half time, there should have been only one result, but it wasn’t to be. The second half drop off was telling. Even Max had his colours lowered to Reilly O’Brien who had more hitouts for the match, although Max had four times the number of disosals with 25. And, yet again, there were serious non-contributors all around the ground. Jeff Garlett kicked three goals but never went near a contest - they were all “cheapies” out the back and he only had one disposal in the second half of the game. This despite the ball bouncing around the Melbourne forward line for the majority of the time, especially the last quarter. Billy Stretch had a miserable game playing as a backman who managed either 1 tackle or zero (depending upon which statistician you believe) for the whole game! If you want to know who was on Eddie Betts in that last quarter ... or rather who wasn’t on him. The returns of Michael Hibberd and Mitch Hannan was not something to excite the fans, but given their extended lay-offs they could be forgiven. Hibberd at least provided some telling long drives into the forward half, but Mitch had virtually no influence in the forward line. The one big, big positive to come from this match was Oskar Baker. In only his third game, he racked up 21 touches and looks to be a genuinely strong capable player. He is certainly one who will not be heading back to Casey when the injured players become available again. Jack Viney, Nathan Jones, James Harmes and Clayton Oliver were joined by their old compatriot Angus Brayshaw in the middle again, and were it not for Adelaide sitting Gibbs on Oliver in the second half, he might have been on target to getting the most possessions ever in a game. 16 in 1 quarter is something to behold, but the clamps were laid strongly and we missed his drive thereafter. With the late withdrawals of Christian Salem and Marty Hore, we saw Weideman and Jay Kennedy Harris brought back into the side. The one big lesson to be drawn from this was finally the coaching staff were forced to have three big men in the forward line with Smith, Weideman and Tom McDonald. This gave Max his breaks and still left two of them up front. It is something that we should have been doing with Braydon Preuss in the past month! Weideman will keep his spot, but McDonald once again didn’t trouble the scorers and Smith barely did so. What to do with them? Tom is still apparently injured, as he cannot jump off the ground, but we have no other options. Down back, brother Oscar had a shocker against Jenkins. Truth is that is not surprising given the height and weight difference. Adelaide isolated him time and time again, but Oscar got no help from others even when he brought the ball to ground, or to come in as a third up. Sam Frost had a pearler of a game holding Walker to only a solitary goal, but also with numerous charges and long kicks out of defence. In the absence of Salem, the backs held up really well, but Wagner and Stretch will surely make way as soon as Lever, Lewis and May return, along with Salem. Melbourne only had itself to blame for this loss. The pressure and intensity of the first half evaporated as too many thought they could sit back, get the cheap kicks and disposals, and just not do the necessary work. Fortunately, those players will not be seen in the coming weeks, and they also have only themselves to blame. Some of them will have played their last game in the Northern Territory, and probably down south as well.

There’s not very much that can be said of the lacklustre performance of the Casey Demons at Avalon Airfield Oval against the Werribee Tigers on Saturday other than that it was woeful. There were however, a few small rays of hope for Demon fans, the main one being the display of defender Steven May from injury and to a lesser extent, Kade Kolodjashnij’s return after two months recovering from the effects of concussion. May was in stellar form down back, taking intercept marks, disposing of the ball meticulously and bringing teammates into the game. He finished with 22 disposals and 9 marks. The Demons gave away a lot to get the former Gold Coast skipper and it would be a surprise if he didn’t return to the AFL this weekend against Collingwood. His former teammate Kolodjashnij was less spectacular but he showed some flashes of the brilliance of the early years of his career up north. The other Queensland connection was provided by Corey Wagner who picked up 25 possessions and worked hard all day. Jim Munro is having an excellent season and he was one of the few who didn’t let his team down. His strength and his tackling were a feature. Congratulations to veteran Mitch Gent who played his 100th game and has been a real stalwart of the club. The game also saw the debut of Melbourne mid-season draft pick Kyle Dunkley who started slowly but showed some very good signs for the future. However, there was little else about which to be enthused by the Casey Demons’ 7.11.53 to the Werribee Tigers 13.10.88. That score line flattered Casey which never looked like getting close after the home side stamped themselves on the game in the latter stages of the first quarter and kept the Demons to one goal in each of the second and third terms. Casey’s next assignment is against traditional rival Collingwood at Casey Fields on Sunday. 2019 Hard Yakka / Totally Workwear VFL Casey Demons 2.2.14 3.4.22 4.8.32 7.11.53 Werribee Tigers 4.3.27 7.4.46 9.8.62 13.10.88 Goals Casey Demons Bedford Chandler Keilty Kolodjashnij Lefau Munro Quigley Werribee Tigers Augerinos 3 Henderson Riccardi 2 Barlow Bennett Brew Clayton Maishman Munro Best Casey Demons May C Wagner W Collis Chandler Munro Werribee Tigers Brew Coughlan Hanson Augerinos Hebron Clayton Statistics Toby Bedford 1 goal 3 kicks 3 handballs 6 disposals 2 marks 4 tackles 35 dream team points Heath Briggs 5 kicks 4 handballs 9 disposals 2 marks 1 tackles 33 dream team points Jaxon Briggs 1 behind 3 kicks 5 handballs 8 disposals 2 marks 4 tackles 43 dream team points Kade Chandler 1 goal 7 kicks 2 handballs 9 disposals 5 marks 3 tackles 56 dream team points Wayne Collis 9 kicks 1 handballs 10 disposals 4 marks 2 tackles 46 dream team points Kyle Dunkley 2 behinds 9 kicks 2 handballs 11 disposals 3 marks 3 tackles 51 dream team points Tom Freeman 5 kicks 2 handballs 7 disposals 4 marks 2 tackles 33 dream team points Mitch Gent 10 kicks 6 handballs 16 disposals 3 marks 4 tackles 64 dream team points Jack Hutchins 6 kicks 4 handballs 10 disposals 3 marks 3 tackles 38 dream team points James Jordon 8 kicks 4 handballs 12 disposals 2 marks 7 tackles 66 dream team points Declan Keilty 1 goal 1 behind 4 kicks 4 handballs 8 disposals 3 marks 2 tackles 7 hit outs 31 dream team points Kade Kolodjashnij 1 goal 8 kicks 4 handballs 12 disposals 5 marks 5 tackles 74 dream team points Mykelti Lefau 1 goal 1 behind 4 kicks 1 handballs 5 disposals 2 marks 24 dream team points Nick Lowden - 3 dream team points Steven May 16 kicks 6 handballs 22 disposals 9 marks 1 tackles 92 dream team points James Munro 1 goal 1 behind 9 kicks 9 handballs 18 disposals 2 marks 14 tackles 114 dream team points Braydon Preuss 1 behind 7 kicks 2 handballs 9 disposals 3 marks 1 tackle 43 hit outs 76 dream team points Aidan Quigley 1 goal 5 kicks 3 handballs 8 disposals 3 marks 4 tackles 52 dream team points Cory Stockdale 7 kicks 3 handballs 10 disposals 2 marks 3 tackles 43 dream team points Anthony Vella 8 kicks 8 disposals 1 mark 1 tackle 31 dream team points Corey Wagner 1 behind 20 kicks 5 handballs 25 disposals 8 marks 10 tackles 130 dream team points Liam Wale-Buxton 1 kick 1 disposal 1 tackle 17 hit outs 18 dream team points Mitchell White 17 kicks 4 handballs 21 disposals 5 marks 6 tackles 100 dream team points

Lucky no AFL officials were in my living room tonight.

When does the contract with the NT end?

6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 please.

Can we take a chest mark on the forward 50.
