Love watching Sydney play. Every dumb thing my team does that has me pulling my hair out…Sydney don't do. It's nice to watch a smart team that gets back off the mark quickly, has a guy on the goal-line at all times to stop easy out-the-back goals, and actually delivers the ball inside 50 with some semblance of forethought and strategy.

    Giants are $2.35 against us next week 

    Don't worry, they'll be into $1.01 after West Coast [censored] us tomorrow by 50 points, despite us being +30 for inside 50s and +50 for clearances.

    Lots of people wrote Sydney off a few weeks back, they just have too much experience, class and are well coached and drilled, can never write the bastards off

    I can't stand them, especially after letting them of the hook last week.

    Adelaide wins tomorrow and Essendon wins Friday night next week and we'll be set in the 8 without winning a match.

    So we have that at least…

    Making the finals by default isn't much of an achievement, especially when you haven't beaten a single other team in the top 9.

    Does it sound like I think it's much of an achievement?

    Guys on the goal-line stopping knee-high scrubbed goals out of packs really do it for me even more than that. Fair to say I loved Jimmy Bartel play.

    If North makes the finals, we're 9th. And we will have beaten a team in the 8.
    If we makes the finals, North's 9th. And we will have not beaten a team in the 8.

    I know which I'd prefer.

    What chance of StKilda causing upset. Zilch.

    I think the better question is what chance of Hawthorn doing something (Melbourne-like) stupid and losing to them. 

    We’re the team that seems to make those monumentally stupid mistakes.

    It’s always good when the AFL put either the Saints or Carlton on prime time, won’t be surprised if after Fremantle’s effort today they get an extra three or four Friday or Saturday night games next year.

    • 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.
