    Noticed on last nights Fox AFL program, video of Freo training in Cairns and the dogs on the gold Coast.

    Hoping the acclimatisation helps Freo, and the dogs do a FIFO on Sunday.

    Dogs fly up Saturday. If only we were allowed to do that.

    No excuses, but zero doubt that heavily disadvantaged us. We looked sluggish the whole game, question for me is why didn't we fly with Freo straight after their game so that we could at least have the day to prepare?

    Eagles have no desire to win this one.

    Plane is probably warming up already

    Imagine Luke Mcdonald and Jack Viney competing against each other in a drill. It'd just be two blokes running around in circles trying to get on their left

    Don't get it.  Don't they (us, God willing) have to travel to Perth?

    They were rubbish tonight. Couldn’t kick 50 points against the second worse team in the comp. Have injury concerns, Kennedy, Shuey, McGovern, Yeo. Natanui is almost ineffective. Ryan is the only match winner they have. Not going to win finals with that.

    And no, it won’t be us. It will be the Dogs, who will run rings around them.

    Displays like the one tonight are not good for the game. Found myself dripping off to sleep from half way through the third quarter. Only just woke up.

    WC choose when to play.  they just did enough to win which is all they needed

    they will smash whoever they play in 2 weeks.  time to get their injured players right

  • Quote

    Gee West Coast are suckers for the injury at the business end of the season. Not that anyone here minds too much!

  • Quote

    The giants need to play high risk footy with attack being their main priority and have almost a selfish mentality. Given their personal I think they will relish being able to play like this.

    Tonight will be a shootout, I think it'll be a 6+ goal loss either way. Not sure if the Saints have the depth in goal kickers to keep up with the giants if their mids get on top

  • Quote

    Pumped for the game tonight. should be a great game with both going in hard. I reckon the Giants will get over the line with Green, Haynes, Whitfield, Kelly, Cameron, Williams, Taranto and Coniglio just too much class.

    don't know how I'm going to handle lockdown when the footy is finished.

    Agree ... I think GWS will win. 

    Having said that, I doubt that we will overtake the Saints percentage, even if we win.

    Giants need % so they will be hungry. They’ll do the job for us

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      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.
