What

This game still means something. Nothing would give me more pleasure than beating the AFL charity case that is Geelong in the final round on their home turf and kicking them out of the top 4, or at worst killing their hopes of a top 2 spot and making them travel to Sydney or Adelaide in week 1 of the finals. And for good measure I hope Viney injures both Selwood and Dangerfield and they miss the finals series. To finish the season 11-11 with a % over 100 would be a great segue to the Goodwin era.

Last two seasons we are 0-8 vs Essendon, Carlton and St Kilda.

Why do we always kick so terribly for goal vs Carlton and Essendon? Infuriating.. always those two clubs.

Selection was abysmal again. All three 'ins' were the wrong decision.

Gibbs 26 touches at half time. Great coaching letting him run free, we are only playing for a finals spot after all.

Replacing Garlett with ANB and Michie was yet another terrible selection decision. Kennedy should have come in.

Score anyone?

Biggest game in a decade. We must win... it will make next week and the lead up the Cats game amazing... everyone will be cheering for us to make the finals and knock out boring old North. We will get so much positive press all week and we will officially be a footy club again. Come on Dees get it done today!

Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs should be the opening Friday night game Essendon can play at 8 pm on Sunday night in Darwin. Fark the drug cheats.

Hawks were two games clear on top before they ran into the Red and Blue machine. We may have ended their reign.

It will suck if we miss the finals. We havent made it since 2006, its easy to forget the excitement of playing in them and the week leading up to the game. Make finals at all costs any chance you get, no way can it ever hinder a club. Our culture must be a winning one.

Its round 22 and what a joy this is to see Demonland posters arguing about how much we need to win by to make up % to make the finals , instead of arguing about why we are still such a bad club we after another horrific end to a season. Let the good times roll.

And whats really sad is that they are playing all their best players and are trying to win.

Dion Prestia run for your life... Richmond are putrid

THE DREAM LIVES

Would be nice if Sydney started trying.

Hope the Tigers beat the Saints. Saints can mathematically still make the finals, even though its not being taken seriously. All they need is to win the next two by big margins (vs Tigers, Lions), and North to lose both by big margins (vs Sydney, GWS) and for us to lose one of the next two. If they [censored] the Tigers today by a huge margin they will be up and about ...shudder.

Come on Swannies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well one of Hawks, Cats or Eagles definitely wont make the top 4 Unfortunately two definitely will. I wish all three could miss out. Probably prefer the Cats miss the top 4, so sick of their charity and it will mean we beat them next week. If Eagles sneak into 4th spot they will get flogged in the first week anyway , and will likely be without Nic Nat meaning they are just making up numbers. Hawks will [censored] Collingwood next week.

Big shock at selection tonight with Jake Stringer dropped to the VFL by the Doggies. Bold move.

Excited to see the Weed again.

hmm, thats a lot of inside mids. A real lot.

Very similar draft mantra as well - big bodied mids at the top end of the draft. No messing around with skinny kids or project players using premium picks. There are a lot of parallels with us and the Dogs.

Same. I copped a but of flak last trade period on this sub-forum for saying hes not an A grader. And now hes a Tiger any chance he ever had of becoming an A grader is now gone.

Thats called being diplomatic, ie. media training. Hogan has had a terrible month and we didnt miss him at all vs Hawks.
