Beating Carlscum by 109 pts is the game of the year.

    I'm less concerned about top 4 now. We had that chance and blew it. Far more concerned about finals itself, which that loss goes some way to helping. 

    Besides, it's just so, so good to see Norf lose. Scott is a massive [censored].

     Agreed.

    At any rate, Collingwood, Port and Sydney all have tough runs home (Port's gets even tougher if they somehow can't beat Fremantle today):

    1. Collingwood - North, Richmond, Sydney (away), Brisbane, Port, Fremantle (away)
    2. Port - GWS, Dogs (Ballarat), Adelaide, West Coast, Collingwood (away), Essendon
    3. Sydney - GC, Essendon (away), Collingwood, us (away), GWS (away), Hawthorn

    Of course, our run home is just as hard, but our destiny remains in our hands. And you never know, with those three sides having runs home like that, if we can outperform what we all think we're going to achieve (i.e. we get past 13 wins), we could go up on the ladder (I doubt it, personally).

    I assume there will be some inevitable posts re: 'how did we lose to port' - similarly those who thought the first half against the dogs were awful. 

    To me - this game/ the cats loss, richmonds loss, hawthorn etc -  shows how close the competition is, and how mere percentages 'off your game' or at times 'luck' means you win, or get smashed... 

    It's elite sport, it's tough and the margins are always small... 

    AND - I really like what Roos, Goodwin and PJ et al, are building towards...and it may not be 2018...

    ahhh, can't please some  :)

    week to week - small things change for the individuals, the coaches, the systems and it becomes cumulative. how else can we account for such massive discrepancies in form lines between what are seemingly teams who are so far apart... bris/hawth, melbs/saints etc etc

    Must be both Freo and us playing in Darwin last weekend!  ?

    We both seem to have defied the script by bouncing back instead of losing due to fatigue and insufficient recovery time!

    Hope shockers win. Port are pretenders who could only beat us coz of umpires.

    Wow dockers, what a weekend. Watts’ one handed tackles still exist. Softest front runner of the last 10 years

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
