If tigers lose to GWS and we beat north next week tigers should be 9th 

And the universe will make sense again.

    Amazing how tight the half of the ladder is at the moment.  Assuming Port continue on their merry way and beat the Suns, they will go from just outside the top eight, to just inside the top four based on just that one result.

    AFL had lots of chest beating saying the China game was a sell out!  Well, the stadium looks half empty. 

    Did the tickets go to rent-a-crowd who couldn't be bothered or did the alcohol ban to the masses keep them away?

    I assume Gil and co are enjoying their wines and beers in their corporate boxes!! 

    So hypocritical. 

    So AFL!

    Not only that but you've got two of the least interesting football sides over there playing.  Neither of them are relevant and the game has been horrible to watch.

    It has nothing on the 6 goals Jurrah kicked over there many years ago!

    The most fun thing in football outside of anything demons... is watching Richmond delude themselves every year. Bless em.

    Apparently 5000 went over to watch it. That seems a little high, but if true you'd think the local crowd would be minuscule, looking at the stadium.

    All the media people are building it up. The players and coaches all keep saying no-one over there gives a damn. lol

    Stupid I think. If there was an o/s country worth going to would be Japan. They're sports mad, love imported sports, and have one of the biggest overseas supporter bases going round. Not sure where you'd play it though. not a lot of space. lol

    We really should be able to win the next three games. I'd be dissapointed to lose any of them.  7-4 mid year with no max would be amazing considering how close the four losses have been

    Mundy just topped off the weekend, hilarious!

    In the AFL rules book there must be a rule that states Dusty can not be penalised for holding the ball whilst trying to fend off 3 blokes whilst putting  an opponent in a headlock and incorrectly disposing of the ball.

     

    There's a lot of hierarchy scared of lil ol' Dusty

    Thought Gold Coast would put up a better performance.

    Have watched it for a few minutes on and off ... lucky they shipped in the Port 5000.

    Could be hard to get them to go again next year perhaps.

    Most interesting thing to me is the advertising hoardings.

    Haven't noticed much dragon dancing on the terraces.

    Apparently AFL have only backed it for one year ..... interesting times ahead

    We should be able to Abe, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.  We've done it a few times before.  I agree that they are extremely winnable games, and I'm hopeful that last night really IS the turning point for this side, but as a young team we are still capable of getting ahead of ourselves.  Fingers crossed those times are passing.

    What an appalling game of footy.  No redeeming features at all

    Haven't scrolled through the other pages, but did anyone see the press sooking over Cyril Rioli's knee being damaged after he drove it into the back of a Brisbane player? He can do absolutely no wrong in their eyes, it's pathetic. Should be at least fined for rough conduct.

    His correct name is just "Cyril" and the proper spelling of "pathetic" is D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S.

    Would it matter if there was? Last time the umps or their directors looked at the rule book was in the 1990s. Since then it's all been about "interpretations" and videos on the AFL web site.

    It was great wasn't it, lol.

    They played [censored] for 3 quarters, almost stole it with 30 seconds to go, then have it taken from them after the siren.

    In any season you will see it is our fate, too miss out on the 8, we win a few, then loose a lot, and then it is too late

    For despite all the signs, we'll finish in ninth, oh we're from Ti...ger ... (FINISH IN NINTH!) ... oh, we're from Ti...ger...land!

    They played the Port club song instead of the Australian National Anthem.  http://www.theage.com.au/afl/port-adelaide-song-played-instead-of-australian-national-anthem-at-shanghai-match-20170514-gw4ixk.html

    Farce on Farce!

    Special cheer goes out to the game's biggest sook - Jack Riewolt.

    To be fair, I'd love to have their sook up forward in tandem with our sook.

    LOL @ Richmond.  Worst 5-0 team ever.

    We will take their spot in the 8.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
