North Melbourne's forward line will really stretch West Coast's defense.

Won't get there mate...

No one is talking about the "Bloods culture" tonight.

I thought they were pretty good considering the injury list...

North had to fight it out and broke them at the end.

They were horrible, North slightly less horrible.

As I said earlier... I thought they were totally inept. Poor kicking, poor decision making, terrible defence for the most part and nothing happening up forward.


I predicated that Sydney where a fake top 4 side, rang kb's show hungry for sport with Greg D, just before the finals, and told them so the tigers are pretenders, north were laughing once they new who would be the teams they where going to play in the finals.

Serves Sydney right they put all their eggs in the one basket, when they signed buddy on that long term deal i knew it would not end well, they went away from the bloods culture, can't help thinking some Sydney players who have taken a pay cut thinking to himself why should i put my body on the line? When million dollar man is having a cry, now i am not making light for mental illness but some will feel that way.

Don't really rate any side bar the top 3...I think it will fall as to the end of season ladder now.

I hope you are right Rjay. Unfortunately I think the top 3 might reverse with the Dawks knocking over Freo and then the Weagles.

 

Am going to love seeing Norf go down by 15 goals plus to the Eagles, hate those flogs.

Was great to hear the commentators get into them at one stage for their "flopping". Serial offenders.

A very unusual story where the Bulldogs have asked the AFL to investigate a leak of their game plan for the Elim Final to the Crows: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/western-bulldogs-bring-in-afl-to-investigate-leak-to-adelaide-crows-20150922-gjsmi7.html

"It is understood defender Michael Talia, whose brother Daniel is the Adelaide full-back, is at the centre of the investigation. Talia, who is out of contract and likely be traded, did not play in the last three games of the season, including the final in question. Fairfax Media understands that the club had been concerned that information - specific to the elimination final - had been passed from younger to older brother."

Probably very innocent brotherly chat over a drink or the family dinner table.

Still, pretty dumb especially as they were playing the next weekend in such an important game.

What part was sensitive?

What did the Dogs do differently to the rest of the year?

Both sides didn't defend

Adelaide kicked more goals...

That was the Gameplan of both sides

Not Rocket Science..

Please may the Shockers win....

Well if they can't tonight....

I just can't help think of their earlier encounter is Tassie. Hawks are on the verge of something big.

Whorethorn have been Big & Smelly since 1971

They must be TERMINATED!!

I can't believe a team as ordinary as North are in a Prelim. Very poor reflection on the others who didn't make it. Sydney just imploded. I want to see West Coast break some records this weekend.

Freo are a sneaky chance with the extra week off and playing at home. Important that they get a good start.

I think this is one of the funniest things about this year...

David King (early in the season) was going on about how teams...read here Freo, were pacing themselves through the year. They would come out and build a big lead in the first half then coast in the 2nd knowing they had it in the bag. A brilliant strategy said King.

Now King and the experts see the stats seem to show that Freo can't run out games. So which is it? do they build a lead and coast or do their ageing warriors run out of legs?

This could well be a case of the stats taken on their own without proper analysis. Freo finished comfortably on top, that's a good stat.

...anyway, I think Freo will win well. For them that means by 8 points but don't be surprised if they run away with it for a 2 goal plus win.

Maybe it is just wishful thinking from me, I'm sick of the Hawks.

Can't see North getting close to WC.

Norths first final is tomorrow night.

The win over Richmond was a formality and the Swans had no Buddy/Reid/Parker/Jack, Jetta was already on the plane and Shaw/Goodes/McVeigh/Richards are/were cooked.

What's ifs are great but if they faced either Crows/Dogs in week one of the Hawks last week they'd be out. They have stuffed around and overused the ball for the last two weeks. Then after the Swans game they were all getting around each like they'd won a flag. The clubs leaders should of kept it very low key. Considering where they finished last year and their offseason recruiting they have been underwhelming to date.

If Suns/Giants/Dogs were in Norths position you could say they have achieved but not with North.

Dockers by 3 points

Eagles by 78.

I really hope the Hawks lose tonight.

Hawks by 17, Eagles by 103.

That said, also really hope the Hawks lose

 

Gee Freo look sharp!

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
