    Hi Forkie. Tigers were wavering until Bolton scored in the third I think and that gave them a sniff. Now that they've been able to score two in the last whilst simultaneously burning 8 minutes off the clock I think they've probably got this one now. 

    Meh.

    Though they might've helped us hold top 4 I'd love to see them free fall back to the bottom of the ladder.
    And stay there.
    With Essendon.
    And Collingwood.
    And Geelong.
    And Hawthorn.
    And the Eagles.
    Oh ... And Carlton.

    Let's hope they've got a little more in the tank for next week. Then they can fall in a heap.

    Thug Nankervis kneeing a grounded Bear in the chest- no penalty and presumably no MRP scrutiny - though they are playing Geelong next week so could be offered one week.

    No we need them to beat Geelong next week. Then fall in a heap forever.

    I cannot stand Jack Riewoldt. What an egotistical show-pony -- everything's always gotta be about him.

    J Riewoldt - 6 goals in his 300th.

    If you’re not a fan, I urge you to not watch AFL 360 next week with Gerard and Slobbo. They might make a passing reference or 2 during the week.

    Nice softie in front of goal for him to finish off.

    Guy hasn't won the hardball when a match was on the line in his career. At least 2/3 of his career goals must have been in junk-time.

    And he’s supposed to be the best caller on the land who will be calling this years grand final.

    Dennis and Bruce ought to be embarrassed that they’ve handed over the chief commentary duties to Taylor.

    Not only have Brisbane lost their last two but they've dropped around 10% as well. If we get up tomorrow it's hard to see us playing interstate in September, covid not withstanding of course.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
