Quite conflicted about who I want to lose more here. West Coast look thoroughly beatable playing like this, I wouldn't hold any fears playing them at Optus in week 3. Collingwood at the G, on the other hand, not sure. Hmmmm.

    Meth Coke supporters are the worst in the AFL.  What the hell is with the constant booing?

    Theyve been doing it for years and still dont realize how moronic it is.

    It happens when you are a one team town. Go to a soccer international and you'll see far worse

    As much as I hate the filth if they can get over wet coke then good luck to them. It shows you that the eagles don't have a very good midfield. It's actually not a bad game.

    Looking for a pie win, I think its better that we don't need to travel and we seem to the players to again win at the G with our pressure.

    Its not that wet in Perth, so those slips are obviously from the new grass, maybe not enough depth in the roots yet?

    Also torn. West Coast look more beatable.

    But then, assuming we get past next week I'd love to be at the prelim and love to knock out the Filth

    Kennedy is horrifically underdone, looks shocking tonight.

    Just a comedy of fumbles and errors from West Coast.

    But Kennedy/darling get a game under their belt plus another weeks rest would see them play much better.  

    At this point neither side would not stand up to our pressure (based on last night).  This game is not a intense as ours and tigers game.

    I live in Adelaide I know, don’t see Adelaide teams in the same light.

    Very torn in this game. Just don’t want to hear Collingwood fans up and about.

    Unless you live in Western Australia or you don't go to the footy, why would you want Collingwood to lose? Don't you want to see your team live in a Prelim?

    Not sure why the Eagles are still just bombing it into Kennedy after he hasn't taken a mark inside 50 all match. Such a one-dimensional attacking strategy, easily being countered by Buckley, flooding defence.

    Mmmm.   A very familiar pattern that we saw far too often especially up until about 4 weeks ago.

    But wouldn't be far sweeter for us to beat them than just beating the Eagles .... not many over here to gloat over.

    How was that not a reversal after the late retaliation?

    Collingwood can thank Eddie Betts for that behind.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
