“Hot Sexton!”

Not my words...

 

Gold Coast looking sharp. they're switched on tonight. Game on i reckon

 

Suns should give it a shake at least in the first half

Let's see if there are any colli-wobbles

My MFCSS has settled in - if Suns win I wont get excited as Port have nothing to play for next week so Pies should win

Yes good point.

I forgot next week is a dead rubber for Port. 

Takes the sizzle out of tonights game now.

What was that Free to Grundy?  Most of their set shots on goal have come from free kicks or chains from frees.  The AFL want them in the finals at almost any cost no doubt.

what about the blatent HTB not paid?!?  even the commentators couldn't believe it

Free kicks 7-3. I'm sure it will continue to expand in collingwoods favour until the last quarter to even it up

to argue against myself - there will be a bye and Port will want to take good form into finals


Suns are having a real crack


Another free kick, another goal to the pies

but the ones they aren’t paying are unbelievable. Pendlebury just dropped it in a tackle. FMD

Two more HTBs...incorrect disposal.  One definitely had prior in the middle.

What is the point of having tackles if you are not going to reward perfect tackles where the opponent incorrectly disposes the ball?

This is NOT football being played to the rules as they were intended.

The AFL really have ruined the game as we once knew it.

New rule. If tackled drop the ball.  


A little pet peeve of mine with the game of AFL, when the whistle gets blown for a free kick all the players stop and when it happens a player from the team that wins the free kick bursts away giving that team an insanely huge advantage. Yes if that player then goes onto kick it then it's 50m penalty but by stopping the play with the whistle you stop all momentum or ability for the defensive team to do their jobs because their focus is who's go the free kick.

It's something I like in Rugby union where instead of calling or whistling the free kick they put their arms out to acknowledge the action and let the play continue.  

Blatant , clear as day holing the ball.

How the hell do they not see them??

Or is it a conscious decision not to pay them??

The filth have got this ... sadly.

When Greenwood (aka Matthew Newton) gets the ball, does he ever not turn it over?

True. They also have a mortgage on HTB decisions.

Ha ha he does look like Matthew Newton doesn’t he?

  • 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.
