The round starts early this week with Port vs Bulldogs tonight at Adelaide Oval.

Some important games this weekend:

- Top 4 play each other - Big 8 point games.  Potential Home Final at stake:

  • 3rd vs 1st:  Swans vs Eagles
  • 4th vs 2nd:  Geelong vs Tigers.

- Top 8 aspirants:

  • 11th vs 10th:  Hawks vs Crows

The other two games are Freo vs Carlton and GCS vs Saints.  Freo to take care of Carlton who seem happy to get the wooden spoon again (and the draft spoils that go with it).  And GCS and Saints will be some sort of scraggy arm wrestle.

 

 

Gold Coast vs. St. Kilda could be one of the worst spectacles ever put on in an AFL game.

Hoping for a miracle and the Doggies causing an upset but I can't see it happening.

I find my level of interest in football overall diminishes when we have a bye. And I have zero interest in games on a Thursday (other than a Thursday night before a public holiday on a Friday). Is it just me?

 

 

What is the Bradbury plan here

I think I would prefer WCE to do over the Eagles to give us a chance at top 4. Eagles pretty much unassailable for top 2 anyway.

Cats/Tigers I am in two minds. Erring for Tigers. They're a game ahead anyway?

Crows/Hawks, want to lose whomever has the easiest run home and I think it's the Hawks?

I like the idea of Thursday night games more than I actually like watching them.

Yep. I'd watch footy on any night of the week. Thursday's are almost like a surprise because I'm not expecting it. And every couple of hours I think 'Hey, there's footy on tonight!'

Will be interested to watch port but the conditions might be bad. Basically a poor game though I think.

 

Practicing throwing all of 2016 has really cost the Bulldogs footskills. 

Dogs look like a VFL side ATM 


The Dogs are a joke at the moment.  Port could theoretically be 8 goals up already if Marshall hasn't missed a few easy ones.  How the hell they won a flag in 2016 is beyond me.

Not sure which is worse, the Dogs or the Umpires.

This is god awful. Bevo has done more ks than half the players.

Loving the look of the Doggies.  Really giving Port  a big test before we play them next week.  And I was worried they'd run the Power into red hot form.... so silly!

So who do we put on Wines next week? 

The games this weekend on free to air arent to bad. Tonights is ok, tomorrow night Sydney v WC will be a cracker and Saturday night Hawthorn Adelaide will be interesting and its a shame we don't get Geelong Richmond on sunday arvo.

Lee Harvey Oswald...

thoroughly bored sh!tless watching this good awful game tonight... 

only watching as we play port next week. half time may just put me to bed

I see nothing about port that worries me. The umpiring in the 1st quarter in favour of port was ridiculous. Dixon is an absolute [censored]


Well....Doggies applied better pressure in their forward half that quarter and caused some turnovers from Port defenders. Port did get a couple of cheap goals against the grain though.

We also have to come up against Lindsay Thomas next week as well. Great. 

Isn't that the bloke who's been racking up posessions in the walpeup 2nds?

  • 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.
