Hmmm, West Coast are close enough to pinch this one.

    Wet coke don't look good at all. Vardy may have done his left knee. Anyway lets just beat Sydney first.

    For those predicting 2, 100 point wins for Geelong in the last 2 games, as Gc v Tiges showed today, they' not so easy to come by.

    This is the West Coast everyone predicted in the preseason.. bottom 4 material.

    Would be disappointing to lose to them next week.

    Goody sighting at Adelaide Oval. He must be liking what he's seeing right now.

    Oh no!  What happened to our mantra of "one week at a time"?    ?

    I love the idea of flying... it's the motion sickness that kills me

    If WC somehow win, port are in serious doubt of missing finals. They are away to Pies next week. Plus WC will be pretty much locked in the top 4 and won’t need a win next week. 

    I know who I want to win

    Suggest you go and look at the bizarre reasoning from Michael Christian on the May incident. IF the Saad hit was within 5m - and I haven't seen all the angles - it is perfectly legal.  

    And if outside 5m it's only a free downfield.

    Looked at it, and the May incident again

    May and Curnow were much closer, May took only 1 step and Curnow 1.5 after disposal 

    I still think May was lucky with only 1 week as it is a poor look

    Brown is another level entirely, twice as much time to avoid heavy contact, but chooses to bump and changes direction slightly into the bump to hit Saad harder

    Right call to send straight to tribunal, hope he gets 4

    Jack Watts is finding a role at Port as a defensive player today on Hurn.

    I still reckon he's nowhere near what he was doing for us c. QB last year, but at least he's giving Port some value.

    One rule tweak I would make is a tackler can't be penalised for a lingering tackle if his opposition doesn't dispose properly.

    Quite often the ball carrier just drops it and the tackler has no way of knowing.

    Port has just stopped here and it's not even 3qt…

    I don't think they'd care, with a lead of 15 going in at 3qt. Just Defend for the entire quarter if need be, WC aren't in the best form either.

    If Geelong win, it is quite possible cats and hawks end the season on 14 wins which means we’d miss the 8 if we only beat Sydney. So I’m on the Hawks 100%

    Just bloody well win the next 6 on the trot. Simple solution.

    As much as you can hate these teams they always put on a good show. 

    2 weeks in a row geelong have had close losses. 

    ?? so, Cats ... that is what it is like to lose close games. Get used to it.

    How good is their “super mid field”?  Or was it dream team?

    Finally someone spoken out about geelong. https://www.3aw.com.au/game-day-hawthorn-v-geelong-at-the-mcg/

    Geelong legend Jimmy Bartel said it’s not good enough.

    “You can’t have that top-end talent, that experienced coaching panel, a massive home-ground advantage, and miss the finals,” Jimmy said.

    they could  still miss , i did the ladder predictor and had them 9th ....

    They Who Shall Not Be Named.  In this case refers to the 3 amigos: My Egotist, Mr Ducker and Mr Sook that make up the 'elite' midfield at Geelong.

    Occasionally modified to HWSNBN ie He Who Shall Not Be Named.  When used on DL it is exclusively for the No 1 p_ick who took his 30 pieces of silver and went to GWS. 

    Edit: Just saw Dalenska's reply - for got about the drug cheats!

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
