Go Tigers.

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

A big smashing.

That aged well.

    Walker is such a hard forward to stop.

    Looks like that loss to Adelaide wasn't so bad - Adelaide will knock a hell of a lot of teams over in the back half of the season if they keep playing like this.

    The tiger army might have helped but the way the Crows are applying pressure doesnt make our loss seem so bad.

    They are attacking the corridor the same way they did against us and carving them up. No fear.

    Hopefully this is a belting. Would be very tasty indeed.

    Why would someone wear a mouthguard that makes them look like half their front teeth are missing?

    Cos it covers up the fact that their front teeth are in fact missing.

    I’d like to say because footy isn’t a beauty contest, but these days that’s not 100% accurate.

    It’s not the greatest look but still better than not wearing one at all, like so many players at the moment.

    You think it's maybe a transparent mouthguard and he actually is missing a few pearly whites Deever ?

    Is there a more unfit player in the league than Nik Nat? Last qtr he couldnt jog.

    It's incredible that West Coast think it's OK for him to only be capable of playing 70% of a match.

    Each week he needs Allen to give him a chop out so he can get through a match.

    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.

    It's easy as to travel, although they're going to have to stay in Perth for Dreamtime this week. COVID-aside, they've already had five road games and only one to come, plus a trip to Geelong. Stacks of Marvel/MCG games, again COVID-aside.

    But it's not all easy as to opponents. They do, extremely fortunately, get to repeat against all three of the clear bottom three (North, Hawthorn, Collingwood). But they're still yet to play Richmond, us, Geelong and the Dogs, and they've also got GWS, Sydney, a possibly-now-half-decent Adelaide, plus the Gold Coast away. 

    Assume they bank the wins against the bottom 3 - that gets them to 8 wins. They've got a good percentage so they may get in on 12. So they need four more from Richmond, us, Geelong, the Dogs, Adelaide, GWS, Sydney and Gold Coast.

    They're certainly thereabouts. As you say, the pressure is on West Coast and Sydney (theoretically Richmond but I just don't see them missing) to hold their spots.

    Nice line from the Hawks Big Footy site post-match yesterday.

    "Horrid. We may struggle to defeat BYE next week."

    Followed up by: "Looking forward to not watching us next week".

    Schadenfreude I know but it couldn't happen to a more deserving smug fan base.

    Perhaps not be a bad thing to have Carlton win today. We play neither them or Sydney again in the home and away rounds but it could be advantageous to keep the Blues season alive and have something to aim for as they still have to play our finals rivals in Geelong, Port Adelaide & to a lesser extent WC. 

    Then again I can't stand them so either way.

    Geelong would be asking the same question given how much better a side they are.

    Tigers can’t be counted out got to hope they don’t make top 4

    Kind of wanted Adelaide to run them to prove we got pipped by a decent side. There’s not really a world where I want Richmond to smash anyone.

    Swans v Blues is a good contest but no one really taking to the game on to surge forward. Enter Isaac Heeney. Love this bloke as a footballer. Would have him at the Dees in a heartbeat.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
