    North smashing Carlton now. They fall apart like the hot garbage they are.

    I still reckon we could beat North though. There's a stench about that match in the same vein the Bulldogs, Richmond and today's match had.

    So many of North's players look like champions when they are 30 plus points up.

    When the game is in the balance, they weren't around. Earlier on in the game Cunninngton couldn't buy a kick, now he looks like a ball magnet.

    North are weak, they are a very weak side. I'd hate to coach them. They will never go anywhere.

    Well, Well!

    Suns drew with the Eagles!

    Finals wide open now.

    Some disgusting umpiring in the 4th quarter there to help get West Coast over the line. Too bad the maggots ended up creating a draw.

    That non-call for a blatant holding the ball was as close to corrupt umpiring as I've seen all year.

    Draw. Hilarious.

    How do WCE get away with having an away jumper thats not only blue but the same colour as their home jumper?? Seriously.

    That was almost the upset of the year - GC without most of their midfield up against West Coast playing to put distance between themselves and Hawthorn, and West Coast very nearly blew it.

    Next week's West Coast v Hawthorn game should be a ripper.

    They have a white one too - they don't wear their away jumper because the AFL tells them to, they wear it because it's their heritage and their fans like it. When the AFL tells them they clash they wear a white jumper instead.

    That is the new era under this socialist mob in charge.

    The umpires HAVE to umpire for what the fans want, not how the game IS. It is no longer umpired on it's merits.

    Welcome to modern day football. Most old school footballers I know refuse to even watch football these days.

    Actually I thought that the contrast of the Eagles and Suns jumpers was fantastic. Very clear who was who. There is certainly never any reason for either to wear a clash strip when playing each other.

    And yes, the maggots certainly got WCE up to the line.

    Socialist? You have got to be kidding. A sport governed by the $ is socialist? They don't come close to a decent equalization policy if that is what you are referring to.

    And since people seem more grumpy about the umpiring these days than they were years ago, I don't see how they are doing what the fans want.

    Just because it is governed by cash, it cannot be socialist? Ohh ok.. So the players rising up and having a large say in the game - to it's detriment - is what? The AFL wanting to take all the profits, and not let individual clubs the freedom they deserve, all the in the name of equalisation, and what freedom they do have - the AFL want all that money into the pot to rashin out to the poor clubs. There are clubs that are not financially viable, yet the AFL props them up. The AFL have to generate cash through TV rights to cater for their unrealistic socialist measures. This mob couldn't run a bath.

    St Kilda have been a disgrace today without Riewoldt. 63 point loss to Port.

    I'd be interested to see how St Kilda will go post Riewoldt days, when he wont be around to save them every second week

    I'm hard-pressed to know which of the things you list is socialist, but I'm now assuming you think socialism is just the collective noun for things you don't like.

    Carry on.

    It wont happen again.

    With the bombers it was like we patched a hole in their ship's hull with paper , then sent them into Bass Strait.

    Crameri is rubbing salt into Hird's wound...he has kicked 6 and still the 4th qtr to go.

    I wonder if Hird will say he was luckly like his ungracious comments about Ryder.

    Hird: the sore loser!

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
