This will be some win if the Swans can hang on and hopefully Essendon lose by a point.

    Gee the brisbane swans game is great. These sydney kids have performed well and the forward line of brisbane arent doing a lot. Hipwood and Cameron have barely done anything. Not sure if brisbane thought it was just going to happen or longmire is some sort of genius. This is a very handy lead at 3/4 time.

    Seeing Essendon throw this away is beautiful

    But if they score and hawthorn lose I won’t be sorry either.

    Guess I can’t lose.

    Never turn your back on a swooping hawk.

    Ha once smith kicked the goal in the last 2 minutes I went back to the brisbane/ swans game. Couldn't believe it when I flicked back and saw the final score. The bummers losing by 1 point after leading by 40 is just so sweet. 

    Yes I had to have a look at bomberblitz. and boy did I get a laugh. 

    That loss made my night.

    Interesting watching the Hawks match. Wonder how our backline would function if we still had Frost playing for us, say instead of Tomlinson. Working in with Lever and May would be interesting.
     

    Why is it the Hawks with a young side, saying they are rebuilding, look more organised than us and showcase better skills overall and of course they nailed nearly every set shot for goal. That accuracy kept them in the game. What was our set shot conversion rate today? Less than 50% for shots inside 40m I suspect.it is a problem we have had for the last 3 years but the usual suspects continue to struggle to nail set shots from 30m. And not helped by the fact that Jackson has the total yips.

    I thought both hawks and dons looked average tonight

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • 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.
