GWS get their revenge for last year’s grand final and Tigers in a bit of a post premiership slump not helped by having some injuries and players missing from their hub.

    North on its last legs for the season ...perhaps

    Down by 4 goals in the wet against Carlton at quarter time

    Norf are absolutely terrible.  Watch them do everything they can to throw ungodly amounts of money at players who don't want to come or to those who don't deserve it.

    It's great to watch, even if it has to be Carlton beating them.

    Yet they are every chance of winning.

    And that’s a reflection on Carlton. They dominated possession and kicked 1.5 to 3.0 and it could have been another goal and the ¾ time lead to North but for an act of stupidity by Pittard.

    Pittard what an idiot. His teammate is going to have a shot for goal after the siren to potentially put them in front and he comes in and pushes the Carlton bloke over for no reason. 

    Carlton had so many inside 50's that quarter. Should be well ahead.

    Yep shouldn't have done and it was stupid.

    But Murphy flopped like he has all throughout his career.

    Was a joke of a free kick but evened up for the soft one Bailey Scott got for his goal just before it.

    c'mon the future tasmania

    As much as I hate Norf, a little trip to Carlton Big Footy after a choke would be a nice way to kill time

    Hard to watch with the umpiring in this game. 

    Yeah but how good watching fans lose their marbles at decisions. Someone let us in please.

    Geez. Even the umpires couldn't get North over the line. What a bog ordinary outfit they are.

    Maybe we got too excited last week?

    Hawks are rubbish. 
     

    guess we’ll find out tomorrow night

    They were terrible ...they allowed us so much space and time.

    The GC game was a better test and revealed our skills under pressure as being scrappy but we got the job done.

    Mind you the modern game makes most teams look scrappy.. See GWS

    Very, very sad to see Hawthorn like this?

    Just watching Clarko’s presser and I’m stunned that he opened by saying he was pleased with his players’ endeavour. He emphasized it again a couple of minutes later. 

    Sorry, but there were a few players in brown and gold who showed very little endeavour at all.

    Also had a go at the umpires. Poor form when you lose the way Hawthorn did today.

    • 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.

      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.
