     couple of upsets are on the cards

    I reckon the dogs will get up tonight.

    Carlton a real chance against GWS

    and the bombers are now without McGrath, Francis, Shiel, Hurley, Caldwell. but still should beat the Hawks

    First two agree, and i also agree with the other, but add Hawks could have their team of the Century playing TWSNBN and they wouldn't be "allowed" to win

    Bulldogs have to prove they can take on powerful clubs in hostile environments. Big game for them tonight.

    I Know its counterintuitive but huge Demonland support needed tonight for the Dogs. If they beat the cats then our earlier win against Dogs becomes a sort or 8 point game for the cats loss in chasing us, and sets up the end of year clash also as a true 8 point game for us.  I know it helps the dogs get closer to the Dees , but gives good separation for both of us from 3rd spot, then keeping at least second is in our own hands if we can beat the Power in a few weeks.

    Absolutely agree. It's totally irrelevant having separation from 1st to second but hugely important to have separation from third.

    Tipping 3 boil-overs this week in Dogs to beat Geelong, Carlton to beat GWS and Hawthorn to beat Essendon.

    Be fascinating to see how much ‘noise of affirmation’ 7,000 people can bring in Geelong, and the impact it has on the men in green.

    Also, I hate Geelong.

    How TF do Geelong keep staying top after 16 years?? They are Manchester Utd of the AFL

    Carey reckons Selwood is up there with the best captains of all time. My bollocks! He is a great player no doubt but how many flags has he won as captain?? Zero

    he walked into one of the most talented lists in history.

    This game is a challenge.

    Cats win puts us back on top but my wrath towards geelong has me confused.

    The ...cats...have won ninety out of their last 100 games at the cattery. Wow.

    But maybe going back to second place is what our team needs after most of them stank it up big time v the pies.

    But the cats with their firepower are a huge threat to the flag and we have shown we are not so beatable.

    Mmmmm.

    Hope to see a good game tonight. Gee conditions will be nice and cold sitting there in the crowd. 

    Hope the hawks can beat the bummers, giants blues will be interesting.

    Anyone know how many AFL teams train on the ground they play home games on?

    I’m guessing…

    Geelong
    Brisbane
    Suns
    GWS
    Eagles?
    Swans?

    Who am I missing?

    All this talk of protecting the head - the commentators seem to praise Selwood for “an ear massage”.

    Rowan could learn a lesson from Kozzie.re touched kicks on goal.

    So the VIC government are paranoid about having crowds at games. And when they finally do allow crowds they put 3,500 people on each wing with absolutely no social distancing.

    Makes perfect sense.

    Like everything we hear  “based on best medical science” - please explain. 
    Could easily have twice (or 3x)  the number with distancing.  But that would be far too logical and liberating.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
