    1.St Kilda... Collingwood will be top 4 and we are looking for the bottom half of the 8

    2.Brisbane... keeps both Adelaide and Brisbane within a bulls roar of MFC

    3 Geelong (see 1)

    4. Freo... see 2

    5.North v Swans... probably irrelevant but if one needs to pick perhaps Swans .. would hate to be playin North for a spot in the 8 in Round 23 in Tasmania.

    6.Suns... see 2

    7. Richmond... will make the 8 whereas we compete with Hawthorn

    8. Giants but a Carlton upset would be okay

    I'm a bit the opposite. Would prefer Essendon to beat Freo and have as many teams on 4-5 as possible.

    Remarkably, if we lose to West Coast and GWS but knock off Adelaide in Darwin, the ladder could look like this after round 11:

    Fremantle 5-6  (8th)

    ---------------------------

    Hawthorn  5-6

    Port  5-6

    Essendon   5-6

    St Kilda  5-6

    Bulldogs  4-7

    North Melb   4-7

    Melbourne 4-7.

    We could still be in this thing despite losing 2 of our next 3 games.

    What an 'interesting' mess of a season. Keeps the possibilites just that little bit alight.

    Excellent to see Adelaide still not quite getting it together. Keeps my 'on the hunt' dreams alive for the NT game.

    I'll be at the Western Sydney / Carlton game tomorrow and will try to report as much as I can on GWS from up close.

     

    On another note, 'our' Bernie Vince seems to be going alright on the MMM commentary panel, currently doing Geelong-Bulldogs.

    Brisbane Lions have risen from the ashes.  Very exciting team.

    Heading to the MCG this afternoon to watch the Richmond V hawthorn game,

    Beautiful day for football. Hoping for a good game. I will be leaving at half time if it is a repeat of the Essendon v Freo game of last night.

    Maggots maintaining their pathetic performances in the Port v Suns game. 

    AFL needs to address this as a matter of urgency.

    Woeful.

    Another case where players stopped thinking a free would be paid in the Hawks/Tigers game. 

    RIP Holding the ball.

    At the mcg. Nowhere near the crowd I was expecting. Lots of people trying to get in but probably fifty thousand at best

    Hawthorn supporters must be the biggest bunch of fair weather, band-wagoners going around. They didn’t turn up last week either.

    It's a Richmond home game but I would say the crowd is around sixty forty tigers way so disappointing all round.

    The MCC section is very sparsely occupied. I'm in the AFL area and have a section of the stand for myself

    Anyone understand why Carlton would have to wear white against GWS?  How on earth would Navy Blue (with white shorts) clash with the GWS colours?  Defies logic.  Yeah.  I know.  It's the AFL.  Nuff said...!

    Same as asking why we wore our red-backed jumper on Friday night. We played West Coast in Perth twice last year and wore our normal jumper with white shorts both times. There's no clash at all between their royal blue/yellow and our navy blue.

    • 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.
