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.

Frosty. Gotta love his enthusiasm and athleticism, but not his higher cerebral functions. ?

 

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


Razor Ray has put himself on the ball for the Hawks....he is everywhere....

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).

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.

Also, number of games remaining vs top 8 sides:

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

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
