    I hate Tom Papley so much that I’d love him to come to us.

    Hawks are home. 

    Top 4 locked in. 

    what a day!

    Not yet.

    We still need at least one win to ensure Brisbane can't pass us, and at least two if Sydney beat Essendon (regardless of the result of GWS v Port, too).

    How filthy would you be as a Lions fan?

    Zero effort for 3 Quarters and then 8 goals in the last. Far out.
    Top 4 on the line and they choke

    True but if we can’t win one of our last 3 games we don’t deserve top 4. We are just about there. Very unlikely the others win all remaining games also

    Will a Jeelong v Melbourne Final in 2021 be automatically held at the MCG with crowds being low?

    There's a contract with the MCC that has to be honoured doesn't it?

    The MCC/MFC alliance has to be worth something doesn't it?

    Sorry, I forgot how this really all works - we'd be screwed over big time, but wouldn't it be even sweeter beating them on the one and only time the GF if played on their dung mound?

    Is Eddie Maguire getting early onset dementia. Just stated Swans have won by two points and it only 3 qtr time.

    After today Sydney finish with St Kilda, North and Gold Coast.

    If they win today they'll have won 5 straight against 5 sides better than those three (West Coast, Dogs, GWS, Fremantle, Essendon if they win).

    They are the threat right now. If they win today we still need another two to be sure of holding them off.

    It is an outside chance. But Week 1 if we are 3rd, be ready for a Jeelong outburst

    12.2 in the second half to Sydney. They just can't miss, and Essendon can't stop them.

    Sydney are a huge threat for our top 4 spot. The way they're playing it's hard to see them losing to St Kilda, North or the Gold Coast.

    Seeing Franklin play well today really irritates me - he 100% should be suspended and sitting in the stands.

    Could this be just  one more example of corruption at the top?  (Just asking)

    Yep. We have to win 2 of 3 to make top 4. O fear that won’t happen. Looks like 5th spot for us.

    Man, you’re making it so hard to want Essendon to lose. ?

    Damn Swans getting the job done on Essendon I think.

    Anyone caught barracking for Essendon could face penalties...

    if the Giants and tigers lose there will be a team in the 8 with 8 wins with only 3 rounds remaining. We could have the worst ever finals  team this year

    if anyone is wondering when we got to 8 wins this year, it was in round 8

    ?

    So the status is this:

    1. Three more wins guarantees top 2
    2. Two more wins guarantees top 4
    3. One more win is not enough for top 4 unless and until Sydney loses a game (or Port loses twice)

    • 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.
