Also take a look at the smug 'We are going to win. This is almost like falling off a log, it's that easy' smile that Smith had on his face as he was about to kick for goal.

"Never Fear...Smith is here..."

    You will find it was a Geelong player walking back who made a smart arse comment to him

    It's on the vision, you will see him walking up and down to his right as he takes the kick

    Sydney V GWS

    Hard to see this game with the stadium half in sun and shade.

    When in the sun the colours are hard to pick ..... the AFL need to have a think about their product !!

    It is just wrong, in the interests of player safety, that Stevie J can in effect head charge into an opponent's midriff and be rewarded with a goal.

    This needs to be discouraged, not encouraged. 

    Someone WILL break their neck one day.  Only then will the usual AFL knee jerk response come into effect.

    That was bloody good to watch. Plenty of heat in this one early.

    Kennedy taken out has unsettled the Swans. He's a pretty important player. Johnson out of the next game will be the fair punishment for taking him out of play and shifting momentum

    The rucks are just not in the game Saty, game has been played very fast end to end.

    Plus Tippet is off for concussion test along with Kennedy.

    He'll get 2, poor record I'd think DT.

    Thanks, was Stevie J a late hit on Kennedy?

    Swans v GWS heating up, some great footy. But GWS have made a massive mistake firing up Buddy Franklin. Did you see his next play bursting through 4 players and releasing the ball!?!? I expect him to go nuts now.

    Two things I now want to see. 1) Shaw get flattened or knocked senseless to shut his mouth. Despised his dad, and his uncle and despise him. 2) Scully get monstered by his own ruckman and get carried off.

    Yup, usual SJ, going to far and it will cost him.

    Kennedy back on, very scrappy game now. GWS look like the much better team but can't find a fwd inside 50 this qtr.

    It's a surprisingly open final. I don't remember so much uncontested footy and paddocks of space in a final.

    Think you need to sit in the dark during half time and few deep breaths, although you did add a bit of extra colour to my reading of the excellent reports

    Ok, can I have Shaw's mouth shut by a knock that doesn't knock him out? And Scully gets distracted by the sound of a jingling bag of coins being shaken by his old man?

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
