That'd be right. The team we play next week gets smacked, so will be out for blood next week. I swear it's happened 2 or 3 times already this season.

    Looking forward to playing the Swans.

    They're pulversing the Dogs inside who are pretty handy in that department and with the inside game is our stongest suit will be a great test of where we're at

    True, but Crows were coming off a terrible loss at home v us.

    That's true. Let's hope history repeats itself there.

    Imagine how much more the doggies would have lost by without Cloke!

    Dogs aren't much chop this year. Their midfield is decent, but their forward line is non existent and backline average. Won't be doing big damage in finals again this year unless they make big changes.

    In their current form we should account for them in two weeks time.

    Swans look like they're back to the form we expect of them. Should've won by 70-80 points tonight. Scoreboard flatters the Doggies.

    Great idea to recruit Cloke from such a successful club.

    Wouldn't be writing the dogs off yet. They had an okay year all of last year and were only dominant in the final 4 weeks, where it counted

    They had an OK year with 15 wins and 8 points seperating them from 1st ?

    But to counter that we've got Collingwood this weekend who are coming off the highest of highs.

    not sure which we'd rather?

    I'd prefer a team getting smacked then a team winning by 10 goals.

    We just don,t get pulverised in the 1st quarter.

    SCG often produces rubbish games because its small size makes modern footy more compressed. But you have to love the way the Swannies targeted certain Doggies and mentally threw them off. 

    Buddy is a freak, and I loved the way he intentionally led his player away when Reid was marking everything. Team goals are always the best. 

    Every few years or so I end up a fan of an opposition player. Kennedy is a star. Tough, effective and inspiring. 

    Doggies looked poor because of the Swannies pressure. Any team can beat anycteam by applying that manic pressure, like we did to Adelaide.

    Adelaide v St Kilda tonight ... would like a win by the Crows so as to get some breathing space on St Kilda

    The next three weeks... Collingwood, Bulldogs and Swans will go a very long way to shaping the MFC season.

    Richmond play Sydney next week which will be interesting

    It can also dent their confidence

    Messi must be pinching himself that he's sharing the MCG with the great Coutinho. 

     

    As for the Saints, hope they get smashed. Again. 

    Weller playing his 100th. Or as he sees it, his 10th.

    Doggies loss was good for us last night,  Crows smashing Saints will be great for us too.

    Saints will be desperate to emulate what the Dees did vs Adelaide a few weeks ago to show they have finals credentials.

    • 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.
