Hawks playing okay. The SCG is a shizen ground for footy. Why couldn't we play the filth at giants stadium ?

    Would be huge if Hawthorn gets this win.

    Look at Richmond's draw from here. They've been given an absolute platter.

    They can easily slot into top 4.

    Well to be fair to them, they'e already played six top 8 sides, but yes, after this week they only have two more to come.

    Free kick Hawthorn in full flight. 21-9 at 3/4 time, Swans getting murdered by the umpires

    Yes … the numbers are as stated, but how many have been wrong, or even “controversial”?

    Anyone beats anyone on their day.

    So,

    1. Adelaide result not so bad?

    2. Beware Dees. Every week.

    And who says bottom teams have nothing to play for now the final 8 is 'settled' (looking at you Derwayne on SEN today!)

    This game looks over.

    Sydney's next four are Port (away), West Coast, the Dogs (away) and GWS (away). They only have three games left for the season at the SCG (given they had one flipped to last week).

    If they drop those four games, they'll be 8-9.

    They'll likely win at least one, but this will hurt their top 4 chances.

    Yep. It’s a very strong competition.

    Is this result good for us ??

    Sydney are not really threatening for the flag but this might give the tigers a sniff of the top 4

    That's right.

    Starting this week vs Collingwood.

    Sydney's 3-1 against the top 8, but they're now 5-4 against the bottom 10.

    They also have a great set of double-up games: not one of them is against the top 8 (GWS, GC, Fremantle, Essendon, St Kilda).

  • Quote

    There have been at least two games that Sydney has been lucky to win.

    The thing I really don’t get is the 7 commentary alluding to Sydney getting a raw deal with the umps. Please

    Swans with it all to do now with a young list, only way is down.

    AFL handouts will only take you so far in a short period of time.

    This result has zero relevance to us at all.

    Got to hand it to Clarko. he is a genius they way he plans for games. As some of the media said clarko has had 10 days to plan for this and how to beat Sydney. It is a good win. 

    Jai Newcombe 12 tackles in his first game after getting taken in the mid season draft a few weeks ago. There is a kid that just wants to play footy and will grab his chance and make the most of his opportunity.

    Spot on.

    Top four competition is coming from Dogs, Brisbane, Geelong, Richmond and Port. I'm not at all sold on Port.

    Record vs top 8 sides:

    1. Melbourne - 5-0
    2. Geelong - 4-2
    3. Sydney - 3-1
    4. Dogs - 3-2
    5. Brisbane - 2-4
    6. West Coast - 1-2
    7. Port - 1-4
    8. Richmond - 1-5

    Richmond is Richmond, so they should always be feared, but they need to prove themselves against top 8 sides in 2021.

    • 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.
