Do they still do Eagle rock or was that a Subiaco thing?

Looks like it... :(

    Still only one win for the Filth vs a top 8 side all year, and that was us.

    Why'd we cop that narrative all season and they escape?

    If the Pies roll the Giants next week, Richmond v Collingwood in week 3 will be a huge match. Very glad that only one of those two teams can make the GF now.

    Also, one of us, Hawthorn or West Coast will make the Grand Final now. So we have a 33% chance of being in the GF. :)

    Have to give credit to West Coast, they were one down on the bench from early on but ran over the top of Collingwood.

    Collingwood still only have one win against a finalist. I don't rate them and on the shorter break against an in-form GWS, watch out.

    Meanwhile an MCG prelim would have been nice but we've already beaten WC once this year and the trips on the road this year have brought us together. They're beatable too, I think.

    Crikey. What to make of that. After quarter time, Eagles decided to play from behind, fumble and dispose terribly. Only got it back in last 10 mins. But it was all worth it to see Eddie going off his nut.

    It would be pretty great to belt that out after a big win!

    The WC won it with their crumbling, always collecting the loose balls at the base of packs.  We're very strong in that area as our boys know run hard.  The worry is Kennedy, but the only game practice he can get is an intra club.  But first we need to put the hawks out.

    Eagles wont be like last time i dont think...

    kennedy is badly underdone. we can hold him and match the eagles' in the contest.

    Collingwood's great hope for glory was to win tonight. 

    GWS will love nothing more than to give the Pies a touch up, which they're well capable of doing. 

    Sadly it's goodbye Maggies

    It’s crazy how so many in the media were giving it to us about it and so many who were giving to us picked Collingwood to beat West Coast tonight.

    Yep, another awful thought. One of Collingwood or Hawthorn guaranteed to make the Grand Final if we were to lose. Get me a vomit bag!

    Much funnier imagining West Coast being shat on by Richmond from a great height without the home-ground umpiring to get them home.

    Yeah I can live with that.

    Collingwood have been screwed. Sat night game, red eye back to Melb for a 6 day break before Sat.

    • 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.
