    Selwood head high bump. 
     

    “oh he’s probably okay”

    ”accidental”

    here we go again

    Selwood’s (to me) should be closer looked at than Green’s. He ran past the ball, collected the player head high, it was pure luck he didn’t get him worse. The action should be looked at, not the result.

    Absolutely rapt.

    I backed the Giants in on the punt tonight, out of hope more than anything. 
    If we win we are back on the top 2 and maybe top if Essendon can beat the Dogs, which isn’t beyond the realms of possibility.

    Just quietly though, I’m not keen on finishing top. Stats show teams that finish 2nd or 3rd and in that qualifying final go on to win the premiership.

    Christian will show his very rare moment of consistency - consistently letting Selwood walk free.

    I just want to finish on top of any of the interstate teams such as Port, to avoid a possible away final.

    Not sure if it makes a difference dazzle ...we may move to second but lets assume cats beat us in the final round..they are still above us and are chances of top four remain the same. Our destiny is in our hands. It could mean top two for us if we beat the cats though. I think we still need two wins for top four in case Swans storm home.

    Although after watching this we shouldnt assume😁

    Note to mfc...bring the pressure to Jeelong.

    Giants setting up well behind the ball, tackling like tigers and TG on fire up front. Geelong ain't getting back into this

    Yeah fair point mate.

    Goes to show that any team can put on a show if they bring intensity/pressure.

    Hopefully Giants crash Geelong's percentage

    Ideally we finish top and play Port finals week 1

    Friggin Geelong - appealing for deliberate OOB when the ball didn't even go out.  I guess they thought that the crowd (BT says there is a crowd) would influence the maggot.

    Geelong are the walking wounded tonight, Giants have just lost Daniel but they should have the fresher legs.

    Geelong % won't matter to us (unless they manage a draw sometime soon).

    FFS  yet another 50 m free shot at goal - the maggots should get the coach's award from Scott

    Green a genuine high tackle (no even a Selwoodesque one) in goal kicking range ignored.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
