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

Hardly fools mate. Will Phillips is going to be one of the best players in the competition in a few years.

    Unbelievable game from two A grade teams.

    The crowd behind Bruce as he was running onto the ball at the end reminded me of Hannan’s run against Geelong in 2018. Gave me goosebumps.

    North’s list management recently has been dubious to say the least.

    They let BB go so you would think a replacement was the go and quality tall forward don’t come around too often in the draft

    Logan McDonald was cutting his teeth in the WAFL last year against grown men. You can tell. He has slotted 7 majors from 2 games.

    Will Phillips may turn out to be a very good player in a few years like you say. Logan McDonald is ready made.

    Not trying to be a hindsight Harry here but North should have picked McDonald.

    Great game of footy. Both teams so clean with their hands. 34 Williams for doggies just about the coolest head in the game at the moment. Got the dogs out of a few tight moments in the last quarter.

    Hoping for some sore GWS boys from tonight’s match. I see it is 30 degrees there now. Tough conditions

    Only 1/4 time, but so far not seeing anything from GWS that will seriously challenge the Dees on Easter Sunday in Canberra.

    Giants looking very ordinary. The heat will come on Cameron if they continue to play like this

    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

    Yep, that is why we need to be 8-2 if we are serious this year. After Tigers we have an easy run

    GW$ are still damaged from their 2019 GF Thrashing 

    We need to obliterate them next week, hope the rain has cleared up by then

    Bullies looked unbelievably good tonight didn’t they?! so clean when it really mattered. We’ve pretty much got the raw materials to compete with these teams i reckon but we feel wasteful and out of tune atm. Hoping we find our real flow and finish.

    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..

    Swans have been the surprise packet for sure. But I’d be surprised if they make finals. Suns, Giants, Saints, Freo are no easy beats. 
    swans will be good in a couple of years but they have so many kids. Kennedy is 33 soon. They don’t have enough senior players imo. If not for their academy gifts they’d be in trouble

    Get your money on the Demons next week now before the odds shift any further.  We should smash them.  they look disinterested, no tall forwards, defence horrible.  

    T Mac to kick a bag next week!

    Thanks. Put $20 on at $1.98 then thought wow, thats very good! So as i looked it went to $1.85 for the win. Still chucked the other $20 on it. I think a few others took your advice.

    Giants will cop it in the media this week so next week will be a tough game 

    Was just going to say the same thing. They will get a roasting during the week and turn up to our game with a point to prove.

    • 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.
