Believe me Essendon fans don't want the spoon. They haven't won one in decades. Finishing bottom would hurt them more. 

First pick in draft will more than ease the pain of finishing 18th rather than 17th.

    Just a complete joke. Half their list is suspended for being convicted drug cheats and they get handed pick 1 as consolation prize, when Brisbane clearly need it more and get no players back next year to ease the pain.

    Just a total effing joke. I think my brain may actually explode if O'Meara walks to them via the PSD.

    Emotional conundrum:

    Go for The Filth and see Hawks' finals compromised

    or

    Go for the Hawks so The Filth don't finish 10th above us....

    Go for the Pies to win by less than about 5 goals so their % 'age stays below ours and Hawks don't get the double chance! 

    Win, Win, Win!

    It will be incredibly sad if we end up 12th after being 9th a week ago :(!!

    At the moment the Pies are still below us.

    True. Pies by 1 point with a goal after the siren

    Our 100+ loss and losing to Carlton to the end of the season has brought us that ridiculous gift. Neither should have happened. We've been clearly better than the pies this season but could finish below them. 

    Man i'm p!ssed at the players for finishing the year with such a disgraceful performance. 

    On your choice, I still want pies to win. Hopefully they only win by a point though. But seeing Hawks not win the premiership trumps a little pride for our ladder position.

    Yeah I don't see the Pies getting above us by 2%, but it would be amazing to see Hawthorn finish outside the top 4.

    Speaking of percentage, it's annoying how easy it is to improve your percentage with a few goals, yet Brisbane's percentage actually went UP today after losing by 50+ points.

    the margin is more than 5 goals......more like 8-9 goals, so i think 11th is safe

    Are Essendon barracking for Collingwood so they get pick 26 for Hibberd instead of 27? :P Nah mate, we're all united in our hatred for Hawthorn

    with academy/father-son picks the pick 26 will slide anyway

    Hawthorn still gets a fair run with the umps.

    of course - it's not like #freekickhawthorn is a myth!

    What was it that Lake or Lewis said? They put the 3 umpires names and pictures up on the board every game and some of the players say 'hello Ray, how's it going?' etc. I think he said they do everything they can to get an edge.

    Seriously, that last three minutes of umpiring was so pro Hawthorn that it was laughable

  • Quote

    Worth acknowleging Matthew Pavlich's achievement.  Last game today.  Only the 3rd player to play 250 games and kick 700 goals.  Not bad for someone who started as a defender.

    Has been a loyal servant of his club thru dark times.   His teammates might just pull a rabbit out of a hat and win the game for him!

    Mate, they even dress the half time Auskickers up in red and black.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
