only thing i want to see is suns and carltank winning so that the former can't argue for a priority pick and the latter stay ahead of us on the ladder

I never thought I'd utter this sentence but ... We want Carlton to win as many games possible and get out of the bottom 6.

    problem is there aren't many teams that we are likely to beat on this year's form.

    Playing Freo twice and therefore having two.. did we do the right thing by trading Hogan ... games would not be good for those of us wanting to move on. Imagine double games against Hogan, Watts and even Kent with each playing their seasonal best.

    I reckon the Suns are a chance.  Pies have half their best team out injured and maybe roughhead as well if still concussed. suns looked good last week.

    aside from that I'd like Port to win, because they are playing essendon

    and Hawks winning will be a nice reminder to North that they still suck, have no money and after their 'exhaustive search' of interviewing one person, are going no where

    I've not checked exactly, but I beleive Collingwood have actually named their entire available playing list in selection, once you include the extended bench for sunday (which will become the emergencies of course). Officially 20 names on the injury list, though some are test.

    Given that Collingwood's performance since the bye has been worse than the Demons maybe Gold Coast are in with a shot. Or would be, except they are tanking.

    Meanwhile, Brisbane are down to 4 injuries, with three of those being '1-2 weeks', and West Coast and Richmond are a week away from having injury lists just as low.

    Can we get the Hawks list manager?

    mitch Lewis pick 76 after 12 games looks a beauty

    Worpel pick 47.

    7 clearances in the 1st quarter

    Is Ben Brown the leagues premier diver? That’s two for the game so far, the best one was against Sicily, 7.8/10. 

    That one on half time was a cracker. Leaning back into Frawley and gets a free for holding. Umpires explanation: Prevented him from running at the ball. He was leaning back into Frawley, not trying to run.

    He's a free kick machine Brown. I'd love him at the Dees, if only to see if he still gets paid all those frees.

    Interesting to notice over the last few weeks and particularly tonight.

    The umps have obviously been instructed to call play on for kicks going backwards if they don't go a good 15+ metres...probably more like 20...

    Marks are being paid for around half the distance when they go forward.

    Another interpretation...

    Hawks will be down for a while. See how many of their so called 75k members hang on for the journey.

    Frawley looks cooked. 

    And Scully was very average.

    These are the only things I seem to get any joy from this season. Sorry, there's also seeing the filth lose.

    At docklands watching the Western magpies aka Port. Hardly a free seat in general admission. Port were going nicely.

    Would hate to see essendon win another close one

    • 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.
