The Matilda’s game is enthralling. Great match so far.

 

...and Matildas score in extra time...!! 3-2!

It’s as if the Matildas are playing the Bulldogs, given that garbage penalty. 


4-2!!! Unbelievable.

 

People reckon Ratten will last the year?

solid list and just show no fight and horrible skills.

Anyone know what Taylor saw in Weideman to justify picking him over Harry McKay?

I guess he didn’t have a crystal ball. 
 

And any chance we will analyze Carlscum’s goal kicking tonight, and have some “learnings”?

I’ve really rated him over the years. Something stinks about them this year, but the same could have been said about us in 2019.

The difference is we traded well after 18 and got some spine about us. They don’t have any structure, and spent money on midfielders who haven’t delivered.

I reckon the difference is they don’t have quality at the back.
Their lack of skills and gameplan has to come back to coaching though

Most of Carlton’s set shots have been elementary and Walsh has snapped a few beautys. McKay snagged a set shot from outside 50 on the flank that none of our blokes could pull off.

Meanwhile we take all our set shots from sharp angles.

Carlton showing if you kick straight what can happen. Makes a big difference. Maybe just maybe the players are playing for Teague. 

Can you imagine we had McKay in our side.. As good as JT has picked recruits that is one monumental misjudgement. In fairness it is difficult to pick a KPF. 


Gee the game has passed Marc Murphy. Didn’t watch the whole game but seemed like he got caught every time he got the ball. Limping to 300.

Oh please don't start BBP, I'm trying to forget this even transpired.

Port, Swans and Lions all have difficult games this weekend. GWS and Essendon in the mix for the 8 so have everything to play for while the Hawks in Tassie won't be easy for the Lions and particularly post the Clarko announcement

Us to win and those 3 teams to lose would make a perfect weekend.

And the cherry on top would be North beating Geelong in Tassie. Very unlikely but you never know.

JT would’ve been the greatest recruiter of all time had he selected a Coleman medalist and a probable top 3 Brownlow medalist in the same first round’s draft.

  • 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.

  • 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.
