Go Tigers.

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

A big smashing.

That aged well.

 
 

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.

Update

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. 

How did we lose to the Crows their getting pasted

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

    The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

    It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

    The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

    The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
