An aside... Liverpool played Man U yesterday in a pre season friendly in Michigan.Crowd of 105k at a sold out stadium.

Man U played the kids.

Amazing what people will pay to see these teams play.

Another aside... apparently Mexico plays more times in the USA than in Mexico itself because they make so much more money than when they play in Mexico

Wow 105k for a friendly

amazing

    I think it was the stadium used by the University of Michigan.Also blows your mind how big College football is as well.

    My rationale for being happy about the North win is that, given percentage difference, any team on 10 wins at the end of this round would need to win all 4 of their remaining games, while we only win 2, in order for them to pass us. And I'm confident we will manage at least 2.

    North are respectable and the win over West Coast adds some credibility to their claim to play finals, for sure, but I don't think they'll win all 4 remaining games. None are against top teams, but also, even the Lions and Saints have shown they have a bit of fight in them.

    West Coast, on the other hand, are beginning to look just a little shaky and I'd love for that to continue. Ok, they are on 13 wins. But that is 10-1 for the first half of the season, and since then they are 3-4. Funnily enough, the maths for us passing them are the same as the maths for North passing us. Considering all possibilities, it would just fit the OFFICIALLY EPIC finish to the season if our rnd 22 game agaisnt them carried the prospect of jumping them on the ladder.

    Overall, I just want to enjoy the ride of every single game for the rest of the season having both the threat of dropping out of the 8, and the opportunity of climbing into the top 4.

    Madness? Definitely, but at least I'm having fun!

    Langdon gets it a bit but he continues to be an untidy player. Reminds me of Harmes in his first few years.

    Just saw that Port have a diabolical run home. Arguably worse than ours.

    Hope those Crows can play for the honour of their jumper etc and do the right thing in the Derby next week.

    Looks like their game in outer space will be a win.

  • Quote

    If we win the games we should we'll finish from 3 to 5 depending on others results.  Port can possibly just miss out after their run.

    Bummer was hoping the one strange upset a weekend we've been getting lately would continue. Unless Freo play out of their skin the Hawks should just control the pace of the game and seal this one. They're experienced and wont get embarrassed again like the Brisband game

    Have only been flipping channels while cooking but when I did it seemed like Langdon turned it over by foot badly? Was it Langdon or someone else, anyone noticed?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
