Corresponding to the actual scheduled matches. 

The matches to be aired are still to be determined.

Thursday, March 26 @7.25AEDT
Collingwood v Richmond

Friday, March 27 @7.50 AEDT
Sydnev v Essendon

Saturday, March 28 from 12pm AEDT
Melbourne v Greater Western Sydney
Carlton v Western Bulldogs
Brisbane Lions v North Melbourne
Port Adelaide v Adelaide 

Sunday, March 29 from 2pm AEDT
Geelong v Gold Coast
St Kilda v West Coast
Fremantle v Hawthorn

 

they should stream matches where both teams win, that way all supporters get to cheer on their winning team. Why would you watch a game where you already know you will lose?

Channel 7 are doing the same sorta thing, except it doesn’t look like the corresponding match. They are calling it’s The Vault. 

 

Hopefully our younger supporters can get a glimpse of the utter brilliance of Allen Jakovich, David Schwarz, Jeff Farmer, Garry Lyon and the bone breaking David Neitz at his best.

Bloody hell those blokes played some exciting football.

JUst viewed video of 1st semi-final 1994 Dees v Doggies... the great Jakovich out injured? but Captain Garry and team mates step up to the plate and performed magnificently. We were in the zone!  True, memory is less reliable as time passes. Prior to viewing would have sworn (erroneously), young Neita cleaned up Chris Grant,who appeared to be out for the count. But he returned to the ground after half time! Albeit a little 'groggy' and probably less able to perform. With concussion rules in place now would not happen. Only fly in the ointment?  Having to fly to Perth and play West Coast Beagles the following week. Sound familiar?  Dreams of ultimate success thwarted by earlier opportunities not taken at that moment in time. Other teams with less talent have won premierships, perhaps decided by the roll of the dice or the bounce of the Sherrin.

Was this on YouTube?

 

EDI: Nevermind, located. Can't wait to watch this again. Have not seen in years.  How's the shirtfront laid by Stinga at the opening bounce. What an axe and what a talent.

Yeah, physicality on the footy field at its best. Sadly 'legislated out' of the game today.

our best chance of wining a flag that year i reckon, Perth has been a stumbling block for us. Also Lyon and Ox not 100% didnt help either. But gee we were a nicely balanced team in 1994.

  • REPORT: 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.

  • 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.
