The importance of The Showdown isn't lost on afl.com.au, having this on it's home page:

Good win by the Sainters.

 

[Salamuddin]

Sydney Swans will win the comp again this year - they are peaking well for finals time
and talent wise, they ahve the best team.

 

[Nate]

Good match this. Cats rallying, Gary Ablett is a gun.

 

[Jono]

ANOTHER DRAW! This time the Dees and Catters. Beaten by 1/2 a second. Good result for Melbourne.

Bulldogs 'officially' make the finals, and Geelong are 'officially' gone, though to be realistic it was over a few weeks back.

It wasn't really over. If Geelong had won today it would only have taken a Dogs loss next week for Geelong to make it.

Anyway, hard luck to the Cats. Could easily have won that game.

 

[Hoggy31]

Melbourne are ****ed now, have to beat Adelaide in Adelaide if they are to finish better than 7th.

lol in a tipping comp at work im like 15 behind the leader so i picked all draws this week so ive got one

That "only" involved the Dogs losing to Essendon. I very much doubt Essendon can keep up with the Dogs for a quarter, let alone a full game. Plus Geelong have worse percentage than Bulldogs. But mathematically it was still possible.

 

[Hoggy31]

Essendon would've had to win by a goal, then Geelong would've had to beat Hawthorn by 50+ points.

oh man i'm so happy that centrebet pays draws as a win. I tipped Melbourne in the first leg of my multi!!! I thought i was done for but the kind people pay a draw....

Now hopefully port don't get flogged by the crows and west coast smash freo

How the hell do you get paid a win for the draw? That is just stupid because it leaves the bookies with their pants down. Are you sure it's not dead heat rule? I'm probably going to have the odds in my multi halved because of that.

Close game again in Richmond V Essendon. As I can recall, it was also close last time they played this year.

And Richo, what a gun.

And Richo, what a gun.

I could kick 9 goals in a game of soccer.

 

[Jono]

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICHO!

9 goals, 19 frickin' marks, 9 of them contested! Awesome effort Had the best time at the 'G' watching him demolish Essendon.

I hope every single Essendon fan realises how bloody **** Kepler Bradley is now, and stops calling him the next Dustin Fletcher. You'd think they would have learnt their lessons last year, but no, some continue to make that claim.

I love you Richo. So glad I was there

Richardson as the 6th and 7th greatest Dream Team scores since 1993, and his 189 points today secured him as the greatest ever Dream Team scorer since the fantasy footy game actually started.

They may well go back to back yet, I still like Adelaide to win the flag personally despite their ordinary form of late, but even the Swans themselves would conceed that talent wise they are not the best team.

 

[pasag]

As a Carlton supporter, I'd rather watch Freo WC than Carlton Collingwood..

 

[pasag]

I'm going for Melbourne to win the flag.

When they do, you can expect this to be shoved in all your faces.

Oh my, Hentschel's knee looks shocking. My medical analysis says easily out for the year. Worst sight in football.
