Bit of a dead [censored] move by Rohan, but he only got him in the chest didn’t he? Looks like Neale put a fair bit of salt and pepper on it. Oh well, stiff [censored] Geelong.

    North's complete failure against the Suns doesn't bode well for staying in Victoria.

    If they can't get a few wins and some decent crowds this year Tassie may be their new home in a year or two.

    Just looked at our run home.. horrendous to say the least

    would be good if a few of those 7-12 teams were out of the running early.

    GWS is one of them. Loss today and fingers crossed another loss next week would severely dent their chances.

    Who are the others.... Hawks and Sydney come to mind. Freo perhaps along with Carlton

    Doesnt look too bad.  Its only horrendous if we allow it to be with our form.

    Remember in 2018 the last two games were against the Eagles in Perth and GWS in the last game, and we won both.  We were dreading them when the fixture came out.

    We have Adelaide at the MCG in the second last game this season.

    Ha ha ha ha ha!

    You take a tunnel-visioned opinion to new heights

    The red mist comes over you like no other

    So it doesn't matter how a team performs in the first half???? ... that makes zero sense

    It's a sporting contest that lasts 120 minutes ... what happens in the last minute is connected to the other 119 minutes

    But not according to Wyl the professor of twisted logic

    You never cease to amaze!

    Don't ever change ... we need the laughs

    Of course it is all connected 

    Don’t twist what i say. 

    Doesn’t change the FACT that with 20 Seconds to go Brisvegas were 2 points down and should have been awarded a blatant Free Kick that the AFL have said the Umps got Wrong 

    You think Brisvegas should just suck it up

    Yeah I do actually

    I've got no sympathy for a bunch of frontrunners.  They had their chances (especially in the first half) and blew it

    And I couldn't care less about a few umpiring decisions ... to be fair Brisbane were gifted a few decisions their way in the first half.  Did you watch the game closely? 

    Truth is you are blinkered with your hatred of Geelong

    What's with the J instead of the G when spelling Geelong? 

    And if we want to take it further than that they (Brisbane) along with numerous other clubs get their fair share of home town decisions on an ongoing basis

    That's how sport works in case you were wondering.  And it will never change.  Wanting it to change won't make it change

    But good luck with all that angst.  The sensible people worked it all out decades ago  ... you missed the boat

    Yeah, I dunno wsw.  I've always found such juvenile nicknames (eg. Port Adelaide Pear, West Coke, Essendrug etc) really tedious and childish.  It's the sort of thing you'd expect from the immature teens on BigFooty.

    You keep saying you don’t care about Umpiring decisions, but others do

    and you want to give me a hard time for it. 
    the Umpire who missed that last decision needs to find another job

    Anyway, it's great to have attacking footy back again ... I can't get enough of it at the moment.  What you're brought up on sticks, ds

    This keeps up and the dashing wingmen/half backers and high flying forwards will return to the game

    Swans have a dream fixture:  Teams they play twice: Suns, Giants, Ess, Freo and Saints.  Only the Saints made finals last year

    Very hard to see the Swans not make finals this year and with that fixture they may even end up top 4..

    Conversely thosr teams late in season might be dreading fronting the Dees.

    The cola was a few years ago now and they paid a high price and imv an unfair price, for 'stealing' Buddy from under the Giant's noses.

    The Swans are one of the best managed clubs in the AFL. They are well coached and seem to be excellent at player development - a lot of rookies become success stories at the Swans. 

    I don't begrudge them.

    And they had the good sense to select Logan McDonald at pick 4 in the draft. North, the fools, passed on him.

    could be their buddy moment

    as @Lucifer's Hero said, the swans are so well run that it's hard to see them 'losing' a player as talented as logan mcdonald, whereas north would have a hogan-a-like situation on their hands with the two wa sides no doubt chasing his signature at every opportunity

    Dogs Eagles has been a carbon copy of our game last night.  Dogs dominating possession yet kicking poorly for goal to only have a small halftime lead.

    We hold 4th spot if this is a close result to the Doggies.

    Good for morale if nothing else...

    • PREVIEW: 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.
