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.

    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

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
