No point getting bothered by the demons praise. We got it last year, their turn this year. Makes a good story and sells papers.
Can sympathize with the media that our domination for over a year now makes for mundane reading.
Let the demons have it I say.

That's exactly why. Heat off in the last quarter. We took our foot off the peddle, no reason to push too hard and risk injury once the win was secured. I heard at one stage that Tigers had forced Hawks into 14 turnovers of which we converted 7 goals 7 behinds, so it's not just the pressure act itself but how you punish the opposition with the resultant turnover. We are supreme at doing that.

It was in the paper on Friday. I took a pic of it to share with someone so still had it. The only other one I have is from eagles/Pies. Eagles were 186 (195 in the 4th) Pies 192 ( 211 in the 2nd and 199 in the 3rd )toby64 said:
Pretty much spot on agin. I watched a fair bit of the other games n the Colonwood, Wet Coke was a ripper. Smelbourne were good for one qtr when they jumped the Moggies who must've been lost n confused away from Krapdinia Park, after that both teams were rubbish. Sydaknee look to be in for a world of pain in future years. Been a few times they simply haven't been able to kick a score n getting belted regularly on the SCG doesn't augur well for them.agincourt said:
im hoping the that was the dees grand final , even though the cats were *smile* poor
im glad scott is their coach, he fell into the premiership in 2011, that was thompsons team
scotts record in finals is 2011 - 3 wins 0 losses
2012- 2018 0 wins 9 losses
keep him there I say

Didn't the hawks win by 11 goals last time they played? When was the last time Hawks were embarrassed like that two games in a row? I was at the game on Friday, little pressure and Geelong were terrible. Melbourne weren't that good. I'm backing the hawks this week. ~$2.80 are crazy odds!

Moneybags Hutchy used the G word last night and he looked so proud of himself. Able to use a thesaurus makes him a cut above a mere journo.

Far be it from me to defend Chris Scott, but that is just nonsense.
2011: 3-0
Since then: 3-9
He is 6-9 in total.
I think Hawthorn we're lucky to make top 4. Geelong were lucky to make top 8.
So where does that leave us? Melbourne played a team who really weren't finals standard, but Melbourne could only play the opposition presented to them and I thought they were quite impressive. Hawthorn were good but clearly a level below the mighty Tigers.
So, I picked Melbourne to win against Hawthorn. Not an easy game to pick I reckon but Melbourne did look good. I think they will be a threat in a year or two.
The West Coast Collingwood game was a cracker. I was surprised how well West Coast came back to win in the last quarter. They are both good sides and a genuine threat. To get back on topic though, I can't see Melbourne threatening either West Coast or Collingwood at this stage, or us for that matter. They're a little way from really being competitive.
To give some context, my opinion last year was that I thought Adelaide were the form side but considering the other 3 teams before Preliminary Final week I thought the only side with the game to challenge them was Richmond. Mind you, I was more worried about beating Gee Whiz at the time.

Out of the bottom four finals opponents, GWS would have beaten them all.
Sydney were hopeless, Geelong a smidgeon better, and Melbourne were OK.
Sydney were the surprise for me. Not even a whimper in that thrashing.
If Hawthorn turn up against Paul Roos' Demons they will be on their way to Perth. I can't see either team getting out of Perth alive.
