Jack Riewoldt this week: “But good luck if you’re playing against us in the last seven weeks, wherever we sit on the ladder. We believe we’re a bloody good football side. We’ve played really poorly the last two weeks ... but good luck if you’re playing us in the last seven weeks.”

Lol I suppose this is all good luck to Collingwood?

    Who’d have thought I would be barracking for the Filth. I need a shower - I feel unclean 

    Acid soap I reckon.

    My 5 leg multi has been screwed by the pies but I’m still happy that the Tigers are a rabble. 

    they’ll bottom our hard. Hard

    I see Demonland has given us all a rocket.

    I'm happy to have a rocket but I really don't want to relocate.

    It’s like playing whack a mole for the last two spots in the 8.

    Assuming Richmond and West Coast finish this round in the 8, here's the top 8's record vs the top 8:

    1. Melbourne - 6-0
    2. Sydney - 5-2
    3. Geelong - 5-3
    4. Bulldogs - 4-4
    5. Brisbane - 3-4
    6. West Coast - 2-4
    7. Port - 2-5
    8. Richmond - 1-6

    Ok, updating this to swap Fremantle in for Richmond (West Coast can't drop out of the 8 unless they lose to North and shed 13%, so I feel pretty safe this time...):

    1. Melbourne - 6-0
    2. Bulldogs - 5-3
    3. Sydney - 4-3
    4. Geelong - 4-3
    5. Brisbane - 3-4
    6. West Coast - 2-4
    7. Port - 2-5
    8. Fremantle - 1-5

    Great win to the Swans. They and the saints have done us a huge favour. Makes our win over Port doubly valuable.

    Depends if you see us competing with the dogs for top 4 or top 2. Or if you prefer the Swans to be out of the equation for top 4. I would have preferred a dogs win. The swans have a fairly easy run home, could get to 15 wins

    Right, time to turn Kayo off before that crud called Bounce starts.

    Thursday night Dees play great footy to win a big game.

    Saturday - a full day slowly pottering in the garden followed by slow roasted lamb over a day-long fire pit, with a nice Barossa red. Saints beat the Lions. Watched all 3 sets of Barty playing the stick inset from Czech.

    Sunday meal at Pratty's Patch celebrating 29 years of marriage. Bulldogs show their pressure weakness again and lose to the Swans. Tiges get done. 

    Feeling like a really smug b**tard tonight with the woodfire on and the Dees on top of the ladder. Look out Mrs Maldonboy!

    The season is actually getting a lot more interesting. Usuallly at this time of year the 8 is set, but the Suns, Saints, bombers, Freo etc are all in form. No easy games. 

    thanks Christ we banked wins early

    This is crazy, looking like six teams playing for the last two spots in the 8. Can’t see the Swans missing out now.

    • 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.
