The cats got a dud call last night, which will get all the focus and attention, but they have no one to blame but themselves for lsing that game. They kept the swans in the game through their own poor goal kicking then choked badly in the last 5 mins to concede those goals. 

Should be a ripper next sat night at the G

Agreed.  Hawkins had an absolute mare of a last quarter goal kicking wise.  Could have iced the game on a few occations, but failed to do so.

Admittedly I only saw the last quarter or so, but thought it was more a case of Geelong loosing it and Sydney lucky to be in the game due to some good goal kicking, so I'm unconvinced that they represent as big a threat  to us, but probably not as easy a win that it was starting to look like with the Swans on the slide either.  No doubt if we do win, the media will still be like "Melbourne haven't really beaten anyone yet".

    Reading this ,

    so I watched the last two minutes 

    I thought the same umpire made 3 errors,  2 blatantly wrong in that time,

    glad he is not umpiring our game today !

    still Scott and the cats have got away too many times in the past.   Karma gets you in the end

    Replace Saints with Cats, and that would be perfect ?

    Perhaps the AFL need to look at abolishing or merging these underperforming suburban clubs.

    Just watched the last two mins also, amongst all that noise I’m sure you can just hear the ump say “play on....touched” first after it was kicked in Cameron’s direction.

     

    Yes, I thought I heard it too @Dee Zephyr

    Todays games

    Essendon and Carlton will battle out to see which mediocre team can stay in touch with the final 8, while the other ones season will be over at 2-5.

    The young upstart Dockers can move to 5-2 while sending the Eagles to a 3-4 record and wouldn't we love to see that. 

    Both games are 50-50's.

    Re the Cats

    What goes around comes around.  They got a bit of luck against the Lions so suck it up Cat fans.  Taking their foot off the pedal last night is the real reason they didn't win (Scott said as much in his presser)

    Mind you, in that earlier game the Lions didn't turn up in the first half so they only have themselves to blame (as well) Again, that's the 'real' reason why the Lions didn't win that particular game

    But as DZ said on the previous page on this thread, the initial call was almost certainly touched off the boot so the 'actual' ruling in the end achieved the same end result - no mark

    As for the HTB at the end ... we see plenty of ball-ups in that scenario so again, no biggie. Didn't look like he had prior anyway.  Another grey area that carries with it divided opinions

    Fair result all round in my view

    Having just watched the Saints V Hawks game, and the poor turnout of Hawk supporters, maybe  those that gave up our club decades ago to support the Hawks may well want to come back into the Demon fold. As you left in the first place to chase success we do not want you back. Our supporters have much stronger backbones having gone thru many dark days and deserve any success that will happen this year and the future.

    I get the seriousness of the situation but McGowan is a dead set plonker.

    Not just from a board game. Yaddle was a member of the Jedi High Council in the prequel trilogy.

    Wow, I missed that.

    Man, anybody watching the Essendon v Carlton game? How bad is the commentary? I’ve had 3 pints and half a bottle of Pinot and have one eye only on the game, and even I could see that Betts kick was clearly a goal. And yet the Channel 7 commentators are saying it’s gone through for a point? Embarrassing. How are they getting paid for this?

    • 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.
