    Watching those two sides making mistake after mistake,gives me a lot of belief about our team and how good we could possibly be.

    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.

    Agreed.  Was looking forward to seeing a high standard game between two classy outfits.  Was left feeling totally under-whelmed!  Definitely not a performance befitting the top two teams on the ladder...!

    Looking forward to a much better game today!

    Norf play one game on the MCG, against Hawthorn where they will probably be running out of puff and get flogged.

    Playing indoors all winter will not help their cause.  They will flake out.   Have faith!!

    Don't worry. By round 10 Hawthorn will have started an unstoppable roll towards another flag and everything will return to normal. 

    Seriously though, while the game last night was rubbish, it was one game and it happens sometimes. It doesn't undo the good work both these teams have done to get where they are. I'm reluctant to dismiss either side as contenders just on the back of one game, even if that game was awful.

    It also shows that even decent sides play shocking games sometimes. North were a long way off, but Footscray outdid them for being off the boil. I hope everyone has learned their lesson and I never see a "we won, but we'd never have beaten xxx side playing that way" after a narrow win ever again.

    North are a good side playing good footy.

     

    Dogs are a super promising side playing promising footy.

     

    We are an emerging side playing decent football.

     

    Hawks, Swans are experienced and strong sides quietly going about their business and should both be top four by season's end.

     

    North should too, really, given their start to the season but may drop off as the year goes on. Who knows at this stage!

    Glad someone else it it.

    Was thinking something similar on the Round 6 thread.

    The doggies played some of the dumbest footy i have ever seen last night, and i'm a Melbourne supporter so I know dumb play.

    At least when we just bomb it long inside 50 we have a key forward to target.

    Neither side handled the 1 v 2 occasion well. North just had some players who handled it better. In saying that neither are in the best two sides in the comp and moreso when you remind them the grand final is not played in doors.

    OP is delusional if he thinks 1 game can determine the premiership chances of a team. Both the Roos and Dogs are chances of making the top 4, which gives them a shot at the flag.

    We'll struggle to make the eight, so to think that we are contenders based on one game is laughable.

  • Quote

    Going by this thread, the 8 is decided.... North, Dogs, Hawks, Swans, Cats, Crows... So it seems we can qualify to be the also rans with one other team. I feel like Eagles will get one with their home ground advantage... The other you'd think would be GWS.

    No way Blues, Pies, Tigers, Suns, Dons, Dockers or Lions are getting past us.

    Makes us 9th, 10th or 11th with Port and Saints. It's a step.

    • 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?
