Tomorrow, I will be 100% behind Clarko and the Hawks to pull off the upset of the year. 

And on Monday, I’ll be going for the Suns to beat the Pies.

    Hawks can win for sure, Dogs are hardly world beaters.

    There’s also a terrific game coming up on Friday night when GWS Giants play St Kilda at the Gabba where a win to the Giants will mean that we have the opportunity to overtake the Saints if we can beat the Bombers and make up percentage. It could be a nail biting weekend coming up.

    Hawthorn is tripe though.

    Still, we've seen Adelaide beat GWS and Sydney beat us over the last 10 days, so bad sides can get up to win games.

    IMO the bigger danger for the Dogs is Fremantle.

    Yeah Hawks have been terrible, they got back McEvoy, O'Meara and Burgyoyne for this game which hopefully helps them a bit.

    As you say anything can happen.

    Wishful thinking to expect Hawthorn to beat the Bulldogs who are coming off a very benevolent draw which has seen them stay in Queensland for quite a while and with a recent bye, all of which ensures that they have plenty of petroleum in their tank. They have all the incentive to win today and should do it easily against the Hawks who gave up caring a little while ago.

    Hogan kicked 4 today. Wish we had someone capable of doing that for us!

     

    I hope we get him back to the club.   Weidemans last few weeks after showing improvement is a real worry and Luke Jackson may not be a key forward.

    The ideal scenario would be gold coast somehow beating the pies and then port beating them then the pies miss finals and us and the dogs take the final spots.

    But as much as I like the dogs it would be so good if the hawks could win today.

    Need some Clarko genius today

    Problem is if Hawks beat Dogs we’re in 8 and back in control of our run to finals...

     

    ... and we all know what’ll happen next. ?

    Sometimes i think the lower sides that have been losing and suddenly start showing some form, are harder to defend against

    Crows are on a roll: thrashing Carlton.  That might change but they have a big 5 goal lead!

    Glad we played Crows when we did.

    Thanks for screwing up my 6 game multi Blues. 

    And to think some on here thought the Blues had flown past us

    We've got our own problems but wouldn't supporting Carlton do your head in. You may as well skip the 1st quarter and watch the game from there. In a positive I've got a head to head bet with my Carlton mate. Dees to finish above Carlton an Fritsch to kick more goals than Betts. It's taken the length of the season but I got there.

    Jeez the Crows are really doing a number on Carlton right now.

    Crows pressure and tackling is elite. If Dees could do that we'd be a way better side. I think we're the 16th ranked pressure side in the comp.

  • Quote

    Quick, fly these Crows back to the Adelaide Oval.

    • 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?
