that was a horrible 50 m penalty.  possibly the worst decision of the year.

    Two horrible turnovers will cost the Crows.

    Sydney in the bottom four of the finals just feels like a great white shore side of a sandbar. Would rather them in the top four.

    Make that 3

    Big win for swans, the pressure is well and truly on tigers now if they drop a game will lose top 4

    That incorrect 50 has been the final difference.

    But Crows' kicking at goal I guess was more of the problem

    Even if the Toiges choke twice they won't, sadly, be able to come 9th.

    The crows seemed to lose every contest in the last 5 mins. Even with the ball needing to get a goal to win, looked like they had zero chance with how unstructured and tired they were. I suspect Sydney could have won by 2 or 3 goals if they didn't switch to match saving mode.

    Good result, Adelaide will now have to go hard at the Eagles next week or go into the finals on a losing streak.

    What made it worse was the umpire in control was raising his hands to call play on as Pannel stuffed the call up and gave a 50mtr...

    Swans just too professional ... from our point of view we'll almost certainly avoid them in the first week of the finals if we win out.

    Surely there'll be an inquiry into how the umps allowed Sydney to prevail. They did their darndest to get an Adelaide win yet they stuffed it up. Shame , shame , shame !!!!

    I'm ok with the swans in the top 4 delaying us a Sept meeting for at least another week shall we make it. 

    After tonight's game I honestly think only one of these two or the Giants can win this year.

    Id love to see the cats fall from grace and miss the top 4. Would be gorgeous however it means supporting the filth tomorrow which hurts.

    Praise. I wonder if he knew he'd kick the goal when he was 100m out. 

    The fact is he ran too far and should not have been awarded the goal. Having said that apart from that incident and the Mills 50 in the last quarter the umpiring was so in favour of the crows it wasn't funny. I would hate to play them there in a final.

    Very good result for us.

    Win both our games and we will avoid the Swans week one of finals.

    Richmond lose and we most likely play them..... that would be a dream.

    Not necessarily.

    If port beat the dogs tomorrow, then thump GC next week they could finish 5th and Sydney 6th.

    You still have to wait for the ump to call play on. You can't just tackle the guy because you think he has played on. Ump got it right but it looked awful.

    But what if Port also win their next 2 games while absolutely thumping a rabble in GC. They'll end up with a better percentage than Sydney with the final ladder as follows:

    5) Port

    6) Sydney

    7) Melbourne

    • 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.

      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.
