If West Coast win all their Perth games from here they finish on 11. But their remaining Perth games include Richmond, the Dogs and us. 

So if they drop one of those home games, they'll need to find at least two, if not three, road wins, and that's just to make the finals, let alone top 4 which will be another 1-2 wins.

Their road wins are Carlton (in Sydney), Sydney, Adelaide, Collingwood and Brisbane.

Essentially that says to me if they drop the Carlton game next week they are in real trouble to even make the finals.

    He struggled without Allen to give him a chop out.

    Looks like he’s feasted too much on Mum’s traditional Dalo, Rou Rou, Miti with coconut  lolo all cooked in a Lovo oven with banana leaves.

    Was there a reason for Essendon not wearing their indigenous jumper today?

    Needs to drop at least 5 kegs.

    Reckon West Coast are the unfittest team in the league. We'll run all over the top of them we we play them later in the year.

    What’s the bet a dodgy free kick or non decision decides this game?

    I said the exact same thing to my my mates at half time when watching the Melbourne vs Crows game last week hahahah

    meth coke ran out of … whatever they took in their 1990s dominant period, and maybe the peptide kids found where they had hidden it?

    So many clubs now falling over each other to make up the numbers in the bottom half of the eight this year. Even Carlton and Adelaide can join the hoi polloi if they both win today.

    Significant win for Essendon and, given their relatively easy draw in the back half of the season, it might have given them a potential finals spot. This could spell big trouble for one of Sydney, West Coast or Richmond.

    WC were being severely punished for their "standby player" attitude in a familiar decision, coincidentally to the mob they were playing against yesterday. Plus some critical injuries.

    All the talk this week will be about the Bombers. Demons win will be the minor story.

    I'm ok with that !!!

    and Carlton if they manage to knock over the Swans

    Gee I hope they smash the Crows after the dodgy umpiring last week.

    A big smashing.

    Covid really helping non melbourne based teams.

    It will nullify vic team home advantage which ironically is why interstate clubs do so well.

    • 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.
