Hope freo beat the hawks, somehow it would be great if sydney could knock off the dogs and ginats beat gold coast and it would be so good if Carlton could upset the cats. 

Glad I was out last night and missed that horrible game.

    Looks like the Tasmanian public have given up on North and Hawthorn. I guess there's only so much dross they're willing to put up with.

    Yep I watched one quarter last night and that was one quarter too much.

    Scrimshaw and Jiath likely outs next week for Hawthorn. 

    Getting absolutely rolled by Freo at the moment who aren't even playing that well.

    I should be confident of a regulation 6 goal win against Hawthorn next week, but I’m not.

    They’ve been completely out classed by a middle of the road Freo.

    I hope we feel like we owe them one after they beat us at home earlier in the year due to dodgy umpiring. 

      Yes the maggots let them get away with murder that last 2-3 minutes, but we should never have allowed them to get that close. 
    Very disorganised defence (Salem out for Jetta) and some millionaire moments from our mids.

    It beggars belief but then we lost because of an umpire so I consul myself with that.

    Maybe the hawks players are a bit flat after learning tis week Sam Mitchell will be coaching them after next season. 

    It's amazing, freo kick accurately and they have a good win. 

    Don't give Carlton much chance today. 2 big outs with Casboult and Liam Jones late outs.

    Could've done with some of this fog for the game last night.

    Competitive start by blues, better if they could kick straight.  

    Hawks - I guess they just heard their coach has been sacked, it does affect players, as they start thinking of what Mitchell wants and not Clarkson...

    Weitering is a gun and will slot in nicely at full back when May retires. ;)

    Feeling back at home @Rab D Nesbitt? Not sure if you're from Edinburgh, or could be up in the Orkney's , or elsewhere, but there is a bit of a haar' (if I recall correctly.)

    Anyway, lets hope there are plenty of soft tissues today...

    This is where I get paranoid. For no logical reason whatsoever, I'm convinced that a couple of the Blues' 7 points would have rolled the other side of the post if playing us. And that Geelong gets lucky far too often.

    Hey EO, yeah haar is a great word. I'm from the fishing town of Fraserburgh on the north eastern tip. Known to locals as The Broch.

    Geelong have played a number of similar games where the opponent has taken it up to them and had the rotten end of the stick with kicking for goal or umpires decisions. A few games could easily have gone the other way. Carlton are shockers - they did the same against the Eagles and could easily have been close to the eight if luck went their way.

    Four goals in half a game of footy. No wonder crowds are down.

    15 inside 50s for Carlton. 

    10 scoring shots

    3 shots that didn’t score

    How are Geelong in the top 4?!?!

    1.9 is atrocious. And we complain about our goalkicking. :P Carlton need another tall target, otherwise they're far too one dimensional.

    Geelong get exposed at the G. They beat Richmond Collingwood and Hawks there. Lost to us by 25 points. Hardly convincing. 
    The big space doesn’t suit their slow legs. They rely heavily on being one kick away from their forward 50.

    • PREVIEW: 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.
