Riley Thilthorpe looks a real player. 5 snags on debut. Very strong in the marking contest.

    And Koschitzke has 5 for the hawks.

    I hate to complain about anything when we are 6-0 but we might be the only team left soon without a young exciting key forward capable of kicking a big bag.  The way the games changing I dont want to be left behind the 8 ball.

    If people want to include Luke Jackson then ok we have one even though he hasnt kicked a bag yet.

    Looks like we’re finally going to have a game where both sides score 100 pts. 

    A throw back to the old days where this happened regularly.

    (and first time since we beat Carlton in 2019)

    Adelaide have taken 15 marks inside 50 in the first 3 quarters. They'll be doing well to take 2 marks against May, Lever and Thommo when we play them in round 10.

    That was an entertaining game in Launceston played by two pretty awful teams. How nice it is to be able to say that.

    Don't fret too much P2J, I recon Weid will turn it on at senior level at some point soon given the chance.  Still plenty of years left in Tommy Mac and BBB hopefully too for us to find a KPF when the right oppertunity arrises.

    In the mean time, I think it's still a good thing that we have been able to find multiple avenues to goal and spread the scoring around without a dominant KPF.  We are stitting on 2nd position and so must be doing something right up forward.

    BTW, I also I do like the appeal of having a KPF.  We have had so many hits and misses and potential super starrs in this area over the years.  Lyon, Bennett, Jackovich, Pike, Cuthberson, Schwartz, Neitz, Robinson?, Cook, Clarke, Hogan, T Mac.

    Collingwood's jumper possibly the worst since every single one Hawthorn have ever worn.

    Agreed. Yet we’re forced to wear the disco jumper against some teams when there is no clash. 

    I wonder what they will dream up for us this year when we play Footscray since both teams will now likely play finals as well....

    Recent equality laws introduced now mean that they can both self identify as quality teams and your words considered to be hate speech.

    The AFL's clash jumper policy is a disgraceful farce.

    We're required to wear our clash jumper in an apparent "clash" with Collingwood, but Essendon (bear in mind they are the away team today) is permitted to wear a predominantly black jumper against Collingwood's predominantly black jumper.

    It happens all the time: Carlton, Richmond and Essendon are permitted to wear their home jumpers against each other and Collingwood despite all of them clashing. 

    The rules should be transparent and all 18 clubs should be required to follow them.

    There's an epidemic of throwing in the game. Sidebottoms throw just now was blatant.

    I was really impressed with the umpiring in our Geelong game, where they must have called a record number of free kicks for throws against both sides. I had thought the AFL was onto it. Maybe not.

    The Dogs won a flag in 2016 throwing it out from tackles. Geelong's succeeded for years doing the same thing.

    Exactly. I have no problem with a clash strip. I actually like our current clash strip. The AFL needs to have a strict policy that applies to all teams.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
