First time for being in Australia for the Olympics for a while.

I had forgotten how cringeworthingly Aussie centric the FTA commentary can be.

    Isaac Smith would have made a big difference for us this year. Oh well

    Smith turning us down was a bit of a disaster for us IMO. He’s exactly what we need. 25 touches and a goal a week on the non Langdon wing.

    How simple is it to be able to have an option to watch the game on TV/devices with the sounds of the game (crowd when available, and players), but no commentary?

    I’d pay $30 a month for that option. I love the atmosphere, and don’t need anything else.

    Geelong are a good discipline team. Them and Sydney are the benchmark in this aspect.

    Man it’s so hard watching Geelong. They starve the opposition and then counter. They are so constistent and disciplined. 

    clear flag fav imo. This will be 10 wins from the last 11 with Duncan and Cameron to come back in

    Jeepers Geelong putting on a clinic.

    There is honestly no weaknesses in their side. Unfortunately I think think they want he flag this year.

    Up to the Giants to salvage the weekend somewhat, Netflix until then.

    You don’t want to play Essendon week 1 finals?

    Assuming we fall out of the Top 4, Essendon would be the side I’d most want to play against. More so than GWS.

    Tigers certainly seem Dusted.

    Nope, not at all interested in playing anyone that finishes 8th a month out from the finish. Certainly won’t be cheering them on the assumption we drop out from the top 4 just to play them. Finish 5th because you think they’re an easy kill, no thanks.

    We can be better than all of these teams, for longer, we just need to get our forward line sorted out and perhaps another outside runner (Bowey?)

  • Quote

    So Essendon will probably get 8th spot because the teams around them keep falling down. Hopefully the giants can produce a miracle and beat them

    just patiently waiting for essendon to win to put a nice little bow on this ****ty weekend.

    The 15 metre kick rule is so unfairly applied across the league. Some teams can kick it 7 metres, and some can’t kick it 25.

    It needs to be addressed in the off season.

    There seem to be times when the umpires just seem to think “that shouldn’t be a mark” and call “no 15” just on a whim.

    Just saw on the news Franklin elbowing an opponent with a wild backward swing - “may get a week if unlucky”.  
    Imagine if one of ours did that - “4-6 weeks”!

    Corruption reigns??

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
