I'll say it again, Norf just look better at Hobart. They should just move there now.

Will be a Geelong style home advantage. Almost guaranteed finals every season with a half decent list and coach and won’t have to play home finals at MCG like Geelong has too sometimes.

    Actually we are missing a golden opportunity with Collingwood in the hole. 

    Collingwood, what a shambles of a club. We have too many clubs in Victoria, time for them to move to greener pastures. 

    I know, I'm dreaming.

    definitely a big decision coming up for josh kelly - he stays at gw$ and he's got a guaranteed $8m in his back pocket with another 8 years on an afl list

    but the query is does he want to stay? i can't see another club going close to the contract that awaits him with gw$

    A 2 losers draw. North shouldn’t have let that slip, and GWS shouldn’t have left it so late. Plus GWS need wins. The draw is essentially a loss.

    O North, how the b****y hell could you let that slip?

    What's with the whole "Clarkson's a genius" thing?

    Going into that game Sydney had already lost three times to bottom 10 sides.

    And Hawthorn's side in that game was, on average, older and more experienced than the one we're fielding tomorrow.

    Both teams just blew that. Nth gave up that 3/4 time lead and the giants had to come all the way back and I still can't work out how Lloyd in the final seconds could not register a behind. Forget about kicking for goal Lloyd just needed to kick a point. 

    At least the bummers have been pushed down to 11th. 

    Anyway here's hoping west coast beat the tigs later on.

    Weird and unexpected aspect of us sitting on top of the ladder…, is I don’t care about teams 5 wins below us playing for a slot in the final 8…

    used to really sweat that stuff, now it’s “meh” and ????.

     

    hahahaaaaaaa

     

    Go Demons.

    Yesterdays Crows/Saints game is the fourth game result corrupted by poor late umpires decision making. That free paid to Thilthorpe in the goal square is unbelievable. There is no way that was free kick. That was the kind of spoil seen a dozens of times every game and it’s just play on. 

    well you can make it five after north and giants

    Tigers v Eagles

    Listening to the commentators you would be forgiven for thinking it's first playing second

    Lets face it.
    Both these side have proved themselves recently.
    We are yet to do so.

    Still think WCE get a great run at home. A Richmond mark not paid and a clear WC throw let go in front of goal.. And I can't stand Richmond.

    We want West Coast to win this. Nobody needs Richmond in the top 4 come season end. Nobody.

    More like two old boxers slugging it out for that one last chance of glory

    The young ones are taking over... whether it will be us or Brisbane it won't be these two

    Richmond are gaining momentum over the last few weeks. I think they are our biggest threat this year. Finals experience is everything. We dont want them top four.

    This is a huge half coming up. If Richmond lose this, I don’t think they can finish top 4

    • 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.
