How bad a senior coach do you need to be to continually lose close games when you're in front in the dying minutes? Just flood the [censored] forward line you dolt!

    I can't believe we lost to Freo. And we let them score as much as they did. We really need to tighten up and zone off better behind the ball.

    Two different ways to approach evaluating a game. I'm a big fan of the 'not picking out a whipping boy' approach.

    Both North and Sydney are 5-0. Life ain't too bad at the moment.

    Hopefully Hawthorn joins them tomorrow

    Kangaroos shocking in close games - learn nothing!  Brad Scott must be looking down the barrel, he surely can't lose this many close games without coming under scrutiny.

    4-15 in games under a goal

    How the [censored] did we lose to these Fremantle idiots last week? They're rubbish

    That is harsh.  THE TEAM got ahead of themselves at half time.

    North Melbourne 0-5

    Delicious!

    How many wins since their 10-0 start last year? ?

    Freo turned two games they should have lost. We turned two games we should have won.

    Well they finished on 12 wins so if you take jlt series out of it they have won just 2 games since round 10 last year that's not a great stat

    Wow, Sydney (last year's grandfinalists) 0 and 5.  As big a fall from grace this year as Freo were last.

    Quick allert AFL HQ, crank up the Swans cola and extend their academy zone into Central Victoria, they won't make the 8 and are clearly on the brink of catestropic collapse.

    "Sir Bob". AFL website has an ad for a tribute to "Sir Bob" today.

     

    WTF?????????????????????

     

    Is he the only bloke who's ever missed out on a flag?

    Is he the only bloke to play 300 games?

     

    What am I missing?

    The [censored] fest over Bob has been seriously cringeworthy.

    Get ya own premiership pedal Bob.

    Was at the Freo vs North game last night, when the game was on the line Mundy Johnson Neale Fyfe and Sandi all stood up. 5 leaders makes a difference in getting mediocre sides over the line and setting standards for the younger players coming through.

    Same story, same names stepping up as in last week when we played them. Our leaders were invisible, making mistakes or both.

    I'm not writing Sydney off until their bye.

    Their next five games are against Carlton, Brisbane, North, St Kilda and Hawthorn. If they're 5-5 at the bye, they're not done with.

    The talent is still there so they're a threat from anywhere in the 8

    The Saints are a really interesting team, i find it hard to read them, players like Billings and Dunstan don't look to me like they can get much better than they are now

    Not big on the Saints but hoping they beat Geelong.

    Saints a direct rival to us in the race for the 8, we need them to lose just like we needed Freo to lose last night.

    Trying to figure out who we want to win this game. I reckon Geelongs a certainty for the 8 so probably them as we'll be fighting St Kilda for spot.

    Gunning for the Eagles today.

    Would love to see the Hawks start to challenge and break all our records from the past ten years.

    Yes they might give it a real shake over the next few years....186 would be nice.

    Umpires obviously forget about watching for ducking when it comes to the cats

    Cats doing just enough to be in the game at 3/4 time and pray for Selwood and Dangerfield to get them over the line in the last.

    Every f#*king week.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
