At some point a couple of teams will get their heads straight and rise a whole level above the rest.  Then we'll be watching 10-goal drubbings which are really 100+ point smashings, and just counting down the season to see which one sustains it through the finals.

On the bright side, with so much of the results being even more between the ears than usual, it is possible for just about any team to suddenly start running hot and becoming a late contender.

 

collingwood have advertising above their number on the back of their guernsey - are they the first club to have two sponsors on the back of jumper?

i know clubs are allowed to do it, but i thought it was existing boj sponsor getting double exposure, where's pies have cgu on front and cgu and emirates on back now

Well another night of turning down the sound so as i don't have to listen to Taylor. So bias towards Wobbles.They (umpires) apparently cannot see trips, pushes and throws, just to name a few faults in the second qtr. Never knew there was a new rule of " not high" if Wobbles do that either. GWS stepped up a gear this week and i hope they pummel the mob that could be in a lot of trouble if they aren't careful.

super congested and contested

low scoring suits the filth, but it keeps the oppo in the game...see also last year's prelim

Not a great game...yet again.

Let's hope they can break the mould in the 2nd half otherwise it looks like a good book and an early night.

GWS players need to start calling for the ball and not having 2 -3 people go up in a marking contest and spoil each other. 

DeBoer doing a great job on sidebottom. 

Come on giants beat the filth. 

Compared to North and Bulldogs this is a free flowing game for the Giants.

The Cox selection appears wrong but I like watching him

Gawn v Grundy?? Grundy loves to tap  it straight to the opposition!! 

The pies are well coached and have improved their kicking skills out of sight, hoping we can do the same!

But I think Gawn is better then Grundy and Trac way better the degoye

Giants have got this. Young Green looks a beauty


Green having an impact.  Gonna be a ripper this bloke once he gets his engine up and running at the level.  Plemty of score involvements.  great link man potential already 

Actually its a good game. Collingwood back in it,

Davis doing his hammy is a massive loss for the giants. 

Greene passing off to Cameron was just stupid. I hope Cameron didn't call for the cheap one out the back to get an easy goal. Greeen should have just gone back and put it through. 

Jeremy Howe looks like a dislocated knee cap...

 

 

whats with the blonde look at Collingwood..?

Jeremy Howe gone.

Green has played a huge role in this last quarter to get them over the line with limited TOG as well

Mummy had the better of Grundy imo (just)...nullified him and squared many contests.

Might be one of those injuries where it looks worse than it actually is.

Unfortunately I think it looks as bad as it is...his  leg buckled.

As much as he annoys the crap outta me,  Heath Shaw was solid all night.  Cudos to the vet

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
