Starts tonight. 

After this round the ladder will be meaningful again.

Good to see Roughy is back for the Hawks - a bit of sentiment by Clarkson perhaps.  Allow him to play vs one of his best mates, Buddy one last time.

    Geelong are woeful after the bye so Port might be good money at $2.80??

    Reckon Brisbane might have another road setback, this time against St Kilda.

    Sydney should keep Hawthorn to a very low score.

    Hopefully Essendon get flogged tonight.

    I absolutely detest Thursday night football (other than when the following day is a public holiday). I'm not ready for it and it also diminishes the enjoyment of football on the subsequent Saturday and Sunday because there is one fewer game to follow. Having it in the same weeks as some teams have a bye and there is football on a Monday (Queen's Birthday) just makes it worse as the football product just seems sporadic rather than intense.

    But maybe that's just me...

    John Worsfold of course knows nothing about it, and as a Qualified Chemist I believe him....

    Each to their own.

    I like Thursday Night Footy. It Feels like the weekend has come early and it gives you something to look forward to during your Thursday work day.

    Hopefully they can increase TNF from 8 this year to 11 next year.

    it's an absolute disgrace "The Architect" of brushing everything under the carpet between 2001 and 2007 Trevor Nesbitt is still CEO.

    He was told exactly what was going on by Ken Judge

    I see the Bombers have been dealt the old Dalgliesh/Margetts in Perth double. Good luck with that lads!

    Just talking to a mate about Margetts. WC must punch the sky when they see their number one ticket holder is umpiring.

    Perhaps the “AFL Integrity Unit” ??? should look into it?

    Seriously, it doesn’t look good for the (minuscule residual) integrity of the game.

    Really the goal umpire can’t see that was a goal? It was a metre past the goalpost. Why pay them to even be there!

    Righto, hands up, who really likes roaming knucklehead?

    The half time promo for it was sickening. Basically telling viewers it's what they really want.

    Personally I don't really care, some are good, some duds, but to ram it down our necks. Please. BT is a dead set clown though.

    Absolute garbage. This game, the state of the game in general.

    It really is. I switched over from last night's Wc v Ess game halfway the through second quarter to watch John Candy in the mid-80's comedy classic 'Uncle Buck'. I thoroughly enjoyed it and didn't switch back again.

    Only last halfway through the second of tonight's game. The AFL product quality is diminishing. It was never this boring in the 80's,  90's and 00's. The thrills are being suffocated out of it.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
