    Not even close. Dogs are decimated and should have lost by a lot more, but Norf are not nearly as good as most seem to think.

     

    hell, we would have beaten them by 4 goals if not for some pathetic umpiring.

    Adelaide, Sydney and Hawthorn are better than the dogs. North are top 2-3.

     

    But Geelong are woeful, WB are an also ran too.

    I don't rate North at all, Waite won't stay fit/hold this form all year. 

    I think they'll be around top 4 but there are 4-5 teams that are better than them this year.

    The pressure was good. The rest, nnnnot so much. 

    My footy multi has died every Friday night this year too. I've gotta stop betting. Or start chasing my bets even more.

    You should try the Pokies to chase it back.

    Excellent idea. Mathematically impossible to lose at both.

    Next 3 weeks nth play saints carlton essendon. Most likely 9-0. But as JB keeps saying they will have a tough draw in the 2nd half of the year. But geez there forward line of Waite who marked beautifully tonight, Brown and Drew is a great advantage. 

    We should have beaten nth. But it will be interesting to see if they can finish top 4.

    North are consistent - if we get rid of our tendency to lapse badly and string a few wins together, you never know what we can do.

    I was going to say we'll see how those 3 go in the wet winter, checked their draw and all bar one of their games in Melbourne is under the roof. So it'll be a huge advantage indeed.

    Geez, and we don't get ANY Friday night games this year.

    Gotta wonder about that Etihad surface. Dogs are decimated. Geez why did Truck need to debut there... :mad:

    Dont start that crud again. We deserve equal billing always. As do the other 17 clubs.

    Not really.

    Good effort, though...

    Very poor standard game. Both teams constantly missed targets by hand and foot. Reminded me of Melbourne a couple of years ago. I reckon both teams will be at the bottom of the eight at best.

    The AFL keeps talking about equalisation.  If they are serious about it then every club gets to host one Friday and one Saturday night game.  They can give the extra ones to the sides they think will be bigger drawcards or rank the highest, but at the most basic level they have to give every club an even chance to make money off those timeslots.  They also need to ensure that they don't do their usual trick of giving Melbourne a home game against GWS or Brisbane so that no away fans show up.  It would require a little work to arrange the fixture, but they have the capacity to give prime timeslots to the local derby's for the interstate teams and to put the Melbourne-based clubs against each other to maximise crowds.  This would make far more sense than what they've done for the last couple of years with the plethora of Carlton games on Friday nights.

    Well there's something i never thought we'd see, imagine a couple of years ago aspiring to have the consistency of North

    I know there's a long way to go, but no one is really standing out at this stage. The Hawks could quite easily miss out on the top 4, but become one of the first (if not the first?) to win it from outside of the top 4. That's how even it is. The competition reminds me of 2005. Just about anyone in the top 6 could win it.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
