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.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
