Surely the lower placed team winning would always be to our advantage - then it is entirely up to us to keep winning 

In the first 5 minutes maggots have put themselves in the line of fire at least twice.  Now they have been declared sacrosanct (most of the time anyway) they seem to think that players should avoid them without taking any personal responsibility

    If you were playing a drinking game around how many times they mention De Goey and his 'form', you would already be legless.

    So who do we want to win tonight's game.

    My head says Collingwood by a fair margin

    .........never thought I'd say that !!!

    I hope, Luke Beveridge's men.

    I am so sick of these moron commentators saying Buckley turned Howe into a defender...

    Didn't you hear, he turned Dunn into a defender as well.

    But we aren't going to win everything.... unfortunately we're not that good.

    Dogs lose and they have to win 9 out of 13 to make the 8 .. very hard

    Basically you can take 8 teams out of the equation almost this weekend on that theory.

    And then there were 10 !!!

    Definitely better for us if the Dogs win. Pies are a legitimate contender for a spot in the 8, so we want them to lose. Dogs aren’t contenders and have horrible percentage, so even if they win they’ll be 30-40% behind the good teams.

    1. Umpires loving the doggies.

    2. Commentary terrible.

    3. McLean ducks and throws

    4. Can't believe Mayne gets a game.

    Pretty much the exact game I had imagined

    Ed Richards for the Dogs looks a player. I was a fan before he was drafted due to his pace, but he’s showing goood footy smarts and toughness too down back. Looks a real likely type.

    Pies look to be taking control of this one now. They’re clogging the corridor better and Doggies are relying on mistakes to get their shots here.

    Cox is such a spud

    You could have told me before I put him in my SuperCoach team.

    Neither of these teams look great.

    The doggies are a shadow of the team that won the flag two years ago.  They look unfit.

    Pies look the better side but surely we have them covered.

    FMD Footscray played like dogs in the third quarter.  How did they ever win a flag.

    PS and the fourth has started even worse for them.

  • Quote

    With this win and a bloopy for Collingwood next week against Freo they’ll be 7-4 by QBH. Pretty nervy already bout that one.

    The dogs are just nothing on the team that won it in 2016. And honestly they wearn’t elite back then either, they had a great month.

    Absolutely no flow or run to the Dogs game – they’re merely a shadow of their former selves. Look forward to meeting them in the next few weeks.

    The only positive is if we win Sunday and both win next week its sets up a massive game on QB.

    Pies in that third quarter were rebounding so easily out of Dogs fifty. Shows the importance of forward defensive pressure.

    Pendlebury, Sidebottom and to a lesser extent Treloar and DeGoey are their main movers.

    Neither team has good forward structure.

    If we bring our game we should have these two teams comfortably.

    Dogs have kicked 3 goals since quarter time.  They're poo.

    They kicked 5 with umpires gifts in the first.

    A bunch of soft frees and a couple of 50s in front of goal.

    At least they earnt the three since quarter time.

    Have you seen a more gutless effort? Scared to attack when you’re 15 points down against a mediocre Collingwood. 

    Weak as.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
