Sydney loves to run over the mark .... got away with it all day against us. 

Nice to see them humiliated as they exit 

Masters of the 9m kick (awarded as mark), cribbing over the mark, and invading the "protected zone".

All should be picked up by the umps, but the umps are useless, so Syd take advantage. Die Sydney!

Frankenstein really relies on great delivery.  Cut out their mids and he is bloody near useless.

How many more years on his 99 year lease?  Looks past it really, and not particularly interested. 

Four more years and he's nearly 32

    Zac Jones nothing like his brother - faux tough with cheap snipes but doesn’t put his head over the ball when it counts.

    Damn it, Sydney just managed to score more goals than Weideman. 

    He's young and raw. Cut him a break.

    OMG that song ?

    Surely more than sufficient reason that they should never ever play a GF.

    Blloody awful. 

    Please people. For the sake of your health, watch with the sound off.

    I am hoping the Giants get through to Richmond, the belt the daylights out of each other, before the winner loses the GF to us.

    I think Richmond would have their measure.. GWS need space.. Have been to see them play a few sides and if you can crowd them thus stopping the run and give they are susceptible.

    It's an interesting discussion re this evening's game as to who has the better chance of knocking off Richmond in the Prelim thus giving us the chance at the holy grail.

    Fending  off with the foot must be outlawed immediately 

    So dangerous and, as Gillon might  say, not good for “the image of the game”.

    How embarrassing were the Swans?  4.6.30 losing to 10.19.79.  WOW! 10 scoring shots to 29.

    So, two recent AFL 'heavyweights' now out of the finals race.

    Up to us to eliminate the remaining 'heavyweight' next week.  Very confident we will get the job done. 

    That's the story of this Finals series IMO. The changing of the guard.

    Geelong, Hawthorn, Sydney give way to Richmond, Melbourne, GWS.

    Agreed.

    It’s just not a good look - particularly with studded boots.

    Obviously feel for Varcoe, hope he goes well.

    Would we rather play West Coast over there again or Pies at the G (if we get past the Hawks)? I’m thinking Pies at the G. Kennedy and Darling (playing a full game) is a scary prospect.

    I am ok playing WC in a prelim (If we are lucky enough to get to prelim). A road trip with the group we have holds no fears. 

    In some ways I would almost prefer that to ours at G (aside from not being able to see it live).

    They’d have to get it down to them first.

    Pies out in straight sets would be pleasant also.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?
