I know they've been ravaged by injuries, but the Bulldogs finish 7th. I wonder how they'll measure their season. People probably hoped for a bit more from them, but as I say, injuries have somewhat prevented that.

    If they had won today  (bloody well should have beaten freo) they would have been one game away from top of the ladder    extraordinary close season up toe pointy end of the ladder

    Puts our loss in a bit more perspective, I think.

    Young teams, even the Bulldogs, are going to have some shockers along the way. Although probably more due to injuries at this point, it was just pure laziness yesterday from us.

    Hawthorn reigning 3 times premiers and finished top 4.

    Melbourne no premiership since 64, finished 11th.

    Let's not get too carried away...

    Fitzy has played in twice as many wins for Melbourne than he has for Hawthorn... Does that help?

    Now you're getting it.

    Although, after today, you'd have to argue that if we'd have kept him we would've been top four.

    Very happy for Fitzy. Always liked his persistence despite health/injuries/baby giraffe issues. Went to the Melb vs WB game last year where he towelled up Boys and thought there might just be something good inside those spindly limbs worth waiting for.

    It's an awful admission, but I was actually barracking for the filth today. I would have loved to see the poos/wees drop out of the top 4.

    The one time I have barracked for Collingwood and they let me down at the post.  Bloody annoying.

    This bye round is so ridiculous.   The AFL never get anything right.

    Anyone else struggle through the first weekend of the dees not playing?

    wasnt even any finals to distract us. Wtf are the afl thinking having a bye now. Lose all momentum.

    Absolutely one of the dumbest decisions the AFL has made, just feels like the season is completely over, and like you said, lost all momentum.

    The Storm v Cronulla game was very good. Top of the table clash with the Storm ending the season on top.

    Incredible how the Storm are so competitive year after year. Much to like about them but those colours are not exactly high fashion !!

    100% agree. I was holed up in rainy Daylesford all weekend. My husband has the flu and slept. The TV was pretty ordinary and there was not even an AFL game to watch and kill a bit of time. To make matters worse, Channel 7 did not play the Casey VFL game. Very disappointing.

    Lucky for the AFL that the top 4 ended up the way it did otherwise there would be zero finals in Melbourne the first week.

    Not impossible in future for all finals (other than the GF) to be outside Melbourne

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
