They'll have to move Schache up there where he's even worse than as a defender.

    Would be a fair effort by Essendon to finish on top from here.

    Note that I edited it almost immediately… you must have jumped on it almost as soon as the post landed 😂🤣

    Brisbane have the chance to sew up a home final in Melbourne.

    That is a massive blow for them. Suddenly it’s down to Naughton to carry the forwardline. He’s an excellent forward but that’s a lot of pressure against the best defenses come finals.

    The cats biggest problem is they are too old. they won't have the legs for a finals campaign

    No wonder Scott  keeps going on about shorter quarters

    In terms of the finals race, us winning tomorrow opens up the Eagles to the chasing pack. HQ would love 6 teams to be fighting for 2 spots than 5 fighting for one. The top 4 being separated by half a game and the Round 23 fixture just adds to it.

    I think I'll wind down for the night now Megatron. This game in the west is giving me nothing to work with. Good luck in the NFC North this year btw.

    It's a huge loss for them. After today's game he had 48 goals to his name. You can't replace quality overnight.

    They'll have to reshuffle their forward line. Whether that's bringing Sweet in to ruck, and then throw English forward.

    Bruce out now mean Marra gets 2nd best defender. Huge task coming up to finals..

    They are dropping like flies after a long season with full length games. 
    But if they can pull off an injury free run from here on in they can absolutely win it. They don’t have anymore travel now either which really helps. 
    They are mature and experienced and that always helps in finals. They know how to win it. The closest we got with this squad is a smashing in a Prelim. 
     

    Watch all the cats fans complain about the injuries and blame them for any dips in form, completely ignoring the fact their footy department made that choice to back in their ageing list.

    I don't care what anyone says, he's brilliant on the outside, but has no defensive game at all does Bontempelli. 0 tackles. If he gets votes in that game it's a joke.

    How bloody wonderful was it to see that mob beaten? Another test, another failure. 

    If the Bulldogs aren't winning clearance, they can't win games. They can't even generate inside 50s. Their style won't hold up in finals unless they pull 2 or 3 performances out of their arses. Can't see it. The flag is ours to lose from here.

    He's a great attacking player when its all his way doesn't chase down like Clarry and Trac, down hill skier if you will.

    I feel very sorry for Josh Bruce. Siren goes 2 seconds earlier and he’s about to play finals and in the hunt for a Coleman. For a much maligned player he’s had a great year.

    Those losses to teams outside the 8 are really starting to haunt us.

    This is simultaneously a sarcastic comment noting the Dogs' and Geelong's losses, and truthful.

    Don't forget Port is near certain to finish top 4 despite having a 2-5 record against the top 8.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
