    Gee I hate essendon. They bring in Daniher knowing they will cop a fine, but it's like oh well we have the money to fund that.

    Well if the past year is to go buy nth won't be playing this game next year. The AFL took it off the dogs last year and after Nth's woeful performance today, I mean 4-14 that is a disgrace for a professional team. 

    Ive stopped watching after 1/2 time. Last nights game was a snooze fest after 1/2 time and Im not watching essendon win there 3rd game in a row. We must have given them there form and confidence back. 

    Im thinking Brad Scott could be in the news this week. They went out and recruited all these players from other clubs and they are near the bottom. 

    Gee we better win tomorrow.

    I actually saw an Umpire give a free kick against TWSNBN in the First Quarter. I hope nothing happens in the CBD tonight.

    I've missed something here, what is 'TWSNBN'?

    The Western Suburbs National Broadband Network?

    Everyone slagging off North should take a moment to appreciate that we are in essentially the same circumstance.

    They also have great disposal and a fantastic mid field.

    Buckley is getting it right.   They are almost flag favourites.

    The Club that secretly went to the AFL and said if you don't get  us the best onballer, inside and outside mid from GWS we will get back on the turps again and hold our breath.

    was ready to watch that game if it got interesting scorewise but like last night it was a slow moving train wreck.

    Let's hope the game in the west is a little closer.

    Other than Hawthorn v Geelong on Monday it really is a lacklustre round of football from a match up viewpoint.

    Memo to Nought Melbourne 

    Get your sorry [censored] down to Tassie and stay there, what an absolute waste of a game that was today. You are a drain on this cities resources and nobody except your 30 odd thousand members gives a shiit whether you live or die

    Ben Brown continues to stage for kicks even after being in the spotlight all week. 

    Pack ya bags North....

    respect where it is due.

    Port may not have got the reward on the scoreboard but that was a great first quarter.

    Lost count of the contested marks

  • Quote

    West coast playing terribly. Two scoring shots in a quarter. This is despite the usual biased umpiring. Free kicks 8-3 so far. Their only goal from a free kick of course 

    Two blatant frees to port in the last minute not payed. 

    Ill be cheering on port. Thought Trenners might have got a call up? Maybe just emg

    Port Adelaide are mauling the eagles.  Stronger, faster and running much harder.

    I found that very surprising. It was really quite obvious.

    It must be exploited as much as possible

    Port playing with the audacity we were late last year.  Eagle look way off, not sure if its a just an off night, the rain or Port pressure.  But the most entertaining game to watch this round so far.

    The eagles are playing the same as they did last week against Freo. Wet conditions don't help but port are much better in it.

  • Quote

    Gee Port that is pretty impressive keeping West Coast to only 2 goals on there home ground at half time. So far the 3 games have been over by half time. I can't see port losing this.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
