    Glad the Demons won, though. The Giants will now find it very difficult to make the eight. They need to beat the Saints by over 50 points, to get above them on percentage and then they would still need other results to go their way.

    Melbourne were certainly running harder in the closing stages.
    Giants are history re finals I reckon. Cameron has been lamentable this year. Even Toby Green who is normally a gun has struggled.

      Shaw and Teague will be the last caretakers to get a full time coaching gig for a while you would think. Not exactly selling it...

        Shaw’s media performances are woeful.

          Quick, quick, re-sign the coach!

          GWS probably should have a couple of flags by now given the extreme talent they had on their list. Remember when their NEAFL side was half composed of first rounders! It seems to be less talent laden now and for the first time since their inception, they are not taking multiple first rounders to the draft and a number of key players are approaching the end.

          A number of high profile players are in terrible form and they seem to lack any system. We can only hope that what we've seen this year indicates their peak has passed!

          He is a man under immense pressure with an ordinary list. They need to nail the two first rounders they hold

            The Injectors are a basket case. They need to bring back Jimmy to fix the mess he created. They look like cellar dwellers for a long time.

            By the way. Was Joe tanking yesterday or is he just over rated. Yes, you can cut him a lot of slack given his time out of the game, but I hope we have already employed the 40 foot barge pole. He was poor and he loves an out on the full. I sincerely hope he is very, very happy back in bummer land.

              The Crows are killing the Blues. Nicksy has finally got his team going!

                Looks like we softened up Carlton. They have lead in their legs.

                  Can't see them coming back this week. And I wonder if the Carlton fans were booing the umpires or their own team, as they went off at half time? Probably the umpires. Which seems a bit feral, since they're winning the free kick count 7-5.

                    Happy for Nicksy! And especially so when they're giving Carlton a bath!

                      The Crows are playing like they suddenly decided they don't want pick 1.

                      The Boos are playing like they want more wooden spoons to go with the 5 they have already collected this century.

                          Now four in a row to the Blues.....only 22 pts down, 7 minutes into the last quarter. Go Crows!

                          .....and they get one back. Probably safe now.

                            Yes, c'mon Crows!! Now 27 pts up, 10 minutes to go.

                            Oops. Back to 21 with 9 mins to go.

                                Himmelberg looks to be the new star key forward of the AFL. The Adelaide one.
