This will make most Essendon supporters sleep a little uneasy tonight. Keep dashing hopes you Giants.

    GWS feel like they've kicked about 10 goals from the goalsquare in the last couple of games.

    Oh well, they've enjoyed a run that history will view very strongly.

    A team that won 3 flags and turned the league on its head in terms of re-defining defensive pressure. Well done to them.

     

    Now, if only West Coast could do us a favor and implode in a similar manner.

    Nice to see that the work experience kid is still at AFL House despite lockdown.

    Tigers - yellow and black.  Umpires - yellow and black.  

    It just beggars belief when they could have gone with fluoro green, light blue or even white for the umps.

    On the money again Stone. For such a professional organisation, the umpire's chosen attire is regularly colour-blind.

    Perhaps Hardwick should make the move? Give Lynch a run on the ball?

    thought you meant the move to the boardroom with his resignation letter.

    GWS is missing Greene, Green, Coniglio, Davis, Daniels, Finlayson, Hill and Reid (along with some season-ending injuries to Flynn, Keeffe and Buckley).

    They could be a handful come finals. If they beat Carlton next week that puts them in prime position for 7th and potentially a final vs Sydney, the best draw possible for them.

    They look good, but I'm sure a lot of it is due to Richmond being just absolutely pathetic.

    Regardless of outcome and who gets it - this statue on the mark rule is just so absolutely counterintuitive.   
    I know some like it but a 50 penalty for running backwards or a step sideways is just such an overkill.

    The Stand rule is rubbish. Man the mark and you can move if you like - UNLESS the umpire calls Stand. If you hear that you can’t move. If you hear him say play on you can move. 

    ridiculous that the rule is based on the ability of a player to hear the ump. Could be trouble on GF day

    This might have been fair to say in Round 1.

    But it's Round 22. No excuses. Stand on the mark, don't move. It's not hard.

    That's not the rule at all.

    There haven’t been many of them but I’d hate to lose a game or a final because of it.

    Don't mind Daisy's observations and analysis at all! Knowledgeable and informative. To a lesser extent, ditto for Lepper.

    But BT and JB? Yeah. Nah. Hopeful and misplaced drama their default.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
