If a team can beat West Coast they will win the premiership. Are strong all over the ground. Seem to just pick guns at will decade after decade. How do they do it? Evenness in the comp is a myth.

That first quarter West Coast played some unbelievable footy, it felt like I was at Optus prelim final day again. Richmond might be good enough to get back in this but if the Eagles get two home finals hard to see them not winning it again.

    His marking is also a highlight, very talented.

    Umpires gave Richmond a very good run after halftime, not that Jack would agree.

    Two blatant deliberates against Richmond went ignored in the dying minutes. Not that I mind them winning given the state of the ladder, but still.

    Happy to see the tigs win only because it puts the pies back to 5th spot. 

    Still hope the dogs get up. Next week they play the crows which could decide 8th spot.

    After watching the borefest that was Bris v Geel (Until last few minutes) - I decided to skip the WCE-RICH game. Mistake i guess, but meh, footy has been pretty garbage to watch this year on the whole

    #freekickbulldogs in full effect today. Again.

    As the live ladder stands, Bulldogs, Adelaide, Hawks & Port are all tied on 10 wins, meaning whoever wins + finishes with a higher percentage next week gets the 8th and final place in the finals.

    Bulldogs play the Crows next week, Hawks play the Eagles, and Port finish the round vs Fremantle at AO. Currently, less than 2% separates all 4 teams.

    Going to be an epic final round, even if we're not part of it.

    I would give my left nut for us to play like the Bulldogs.

    Young list who all crack in and are great to watch.

    Im on the Doggies train, praying they make the 8.

    Count me in Beetle.  Amazing what can happen when all 22 have a decent crack week after week and never throw the towel in.  Big difference though....they have players who can run and spread on the burst.  They have an extremely hard work ethic especially with players constantly looking to hit up on the lead.  They have marking forwards.  Their conversion is first class.  And they have the Bont!

    Doggies hitting form at the right time. They've just about stitched up the final spot in the 8 with this win, barring an upset next week vs Adelaide.

    Hawks/Port/Crows will all be hoping the Dogs lose that one.

    In terms of coaching nous, Leon Cameron makes Mark Neeld look like Norm Smith.

    Their skills are right up there with the best. Wish we could do what they do.

    Watching the Ric WC game, I'm disappointed that it looks like N Riewoldt has chosen a media career. His analysis of the game is insiteful and superior to any former player commentator I've listened to. I'd be ecstatic to have him on our coaching panel. His understanding of the difference in game plans and his ability to communicate it is extremely impressive.

    I suppose Dew is not a Prik like Clarko when he flooded back and prevented Fevola from kicking 1 last goal to hit 100

    • 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.

    • 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?

        • Thanks
