    Adelaide just lost the Premiership & Jake Lever... lol

    Richmond by far the better team after quarter time. Being at the game it was all over from then. Crows were very boring!

    Well derserved Richmond! But htf did Dusty win Normie? Houli, Rance, Edwards anyone. I thought the game was won down back.

    Flag won with 4 quarters of intense football, how often did one poor quater bring us undone. Need to bring 4 quarters each week. Probably only achieved once this year against Bulldogs.

    Ridiculous.  Essendon were far and away the best side in 2000, I was there, I was gutted.  But it wasn't "disgusting"

    No doubt they were the better side...and should have won the game either way. What was disgusting was the way our senior players let our young players get physically smashed with zero retaliation...it was embarassing.

    Coming up against a team that is way better than you is a great opportunity to be a spoiler...the pressure is on them not you. we rolled over in that game...such is our nature.

    Walkers speech as pathetic as the Crows performance 

    Watched that again and I reckon Pyke (when the camera went to him) was fairly [censored] at Walker for such a lame effort.

    Adelaide didn’t stand up for these two

    Pretty lame effort

    hopefully it wacks them hard

    Pyke's effort was at east as bad. Comprehensively outcoached and didn't fire a shot.

    Begrudgingly admire Richmond's management last year:  Added Naismith, Caddy, Prestia and a 2018 first round pick and the only real out was Delidio.

    And they have landed the trifecta:  Brownlow, Norm Smith and Premiership.  They did it with one of the youngest teams in the comp.  

    They now have two 1st round draft picks with young Naish who was among the best in the U18 today (and touted as a top 10 draft pick) as a father/son for them in this draft. 

    Hate to say it but they will be there abouts again next year.

    Unlike others on here I just don't see us being anywhere near close to a Premiership.

    Exactly. Home Games in the NT must stop soon. Sure cost us this year, as did other games. But after the 2 NT games we limped home...

    Well, get used to travelling there, Hobart and Kardinia for another year or two, 'cause that's what's going to happen. We're broke, or close to it, and have one of the lowest supporter bases.

    Goodwin is not a great coach, hopefully he will be but he is not.

    It took Hardwick quite a few years to become a good coach. Even longer to become a premiership coach.

    Congratulations to the Tigers as well.

    Their manic pressure is what set up their great year and ultimately the premiership.

    Wasn’t aware we were broke or close to it, unless of course you are talking emotions

    Disagree strongly. They had a dream run with injuries this year, barely had a player of note miss a game and had an easy draw due to finishing 13th last year.

    Teams will figure out how to counter there small forward line and they will be back with the pack.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
