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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
