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?

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.

I just spent 2 minutes Googling 2015 AFL phantom drafts and found the following four, all of which rated Weideman above Mackay:

Who’s the Blues goalkicking coach? Get him in at any price. 15.2. Really!!! 

Before tonight they'd kicked more behinds than goals, including 5.14 three weeks ago vs Geelong.

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.

  • 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.
