So, quick refresher - anyone out there still want to claim Marc Murphy is overrated?

If he was on our list right now we'd have the big piece we're missing and would be legitimately anticipating a grand final.

 

Just bought a Freo, Doggies and West Coast beanie for tomorrows games.

Steven May will be out for weeks after his hit on Curnow. Good news for us


I wonder if boy wonder, Cripps, gets off for the tackle that rammed Swallow's head into the ground and he didn't come back on.

But Cripps is in the running for the Brownlow and the AFL would love to see him win it so the MRO may well weasel word an excuse to get him off.

Can't believe Carlton beat GCS who beat Sydney last week.  It is a very strange game, this aussie rules!

No way that Cripps gets suspended. Wasn’t even a particularly strong tackle. Swallow just st unlucky

Is it too much to expect a win to WCE and upsets in the other two games today? 

ha, maybe.. but its fair to say that we're all hoping for that to happen.

Not this Demonlander.  Absolutely hoping for a Norf win as I don't accept WCE have 2nd spot (and home finals) locked away, nor that a top 4 spot is beyond the Dees.    It is pointless us hoping for everyone outside the eight to fall away, just so we can fall in to finals.  Someone will be there with 13 wins.  We need to win our way in to finals and strive to get a double chance, hopefully with as many Victorian based clubs in the top 4 as possible.

Carlscum v $un$

suprised it wasn’t prime time last night

Potentially the most thrilling game yesterday so it should have been !!!! 

Carlton's millions of fans deserve it surely.

I'll be cheering on the WB today, should be atrocious cold conditions today and a poor spectacle, Dogs to scrap it out, Port are pretenders.

"Central for Sunday Very high chance of showers. Snow falling above 900 metres. The chance of a thunderstorm from late this morning. Gusty winds and possible hail. Winds NW 30 to 45 km/h turning W 35 to 55 km/h. Daytime maximum temperatures between 9 and 14."

It is freezing here in Ballarat top of 9, hope the doggies get up 

I still think Ballarat is the coldest place I've ever been to. I remember sitting at that train station one morning when it was snowing and windy, will never forget it, thought I was going to die.

Not with Shuey and Kennedy out. Shuey's is "personal reasons" while Kennedy is general soreness...

Dogs deserve it but fascinating that they are paid by the State Government to play in Ballarat but we have to go to NT to get our dollars.

Would love to be on  a deal to play in Mildura instead of Darwin

Yep totally with you. Tipped the Doggies, let’s hope they have a blinder and send these floppers packing. 

North are blessed down in Tassie. First time I can recall North kicking to the left of screen in the first quarter and there’s no wind blowing down there.

Hope the dogs can win. The only reason i would be happy to see nth or hawthorn win is because it just makes it that tad harder for essenscum to get in

Kicked it.

Theatre.  If a player threw the ball up like that at any other part of the ground it wouldn't go up 5cm before being called a throw.  If a defender did it they'd be laughed out of the league.

I tend to agree. It was a great goal, but he certainly threw it up in the air before connecting with the ball.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
