Is anyone else quietly hoping that North upset Sydney today?

North plays Adelaide next week and with a Kangaroo win today and a really good percentage-smashing of Adelaide tomorrow it would actually make next weeks' game a wooden spoon battle.

With Jason Horne on the line, I could see the Crows losing that one while North's recovery through the second half of the season deserves better than the spoon.

Full credit to North - after the bye they've gone 3W 1D 5L and not a single blowout loss in it. That's really impressive in a season that started as badly as Melbourne 2013 (No, wait, nope, nope, just because everyone thought they might go winless for the year doesn't make it that bad...)

    I just don’t want some little [censored] kicking a goal after the siren in our game…

    us a bit of joke to be mocking other teams who actually have the Cups in the bank. When we finally do win one

    then we have some ground to stand on.

    Not exactly the tastiest of menus today in terms of what’s on offer.

    Geelong V St Kilda the pick of the bunch, but that game could go south in a hurry if the “bad” St Kilda rocks up.

    You're probably right. However, the difference is that the 'not 15' is necessary to follow long established rules of the game.    

    I get that it’s definitely necessary. What I meant is that it can be the worst call when the player in question, ie., the bloke who just marked in front of the oppo’s goals, doesn’t hear it. Provided everyone else heard it, he is sure to be tackled and, even worse, caught HTB.

    Hopefully the Hawks and Saints get over the line today. We can then sew up top spot with a win over the Crows tomorrow and then rest some players against the Cats.

    Port says hi.

    Five minutes in and 2 holding the ball decisions against Bontempelli. The umpires have been possessed by aliens!

    In a standard game I have seen about 10 ‘missed’ frees that would go for the Dogs. I wonder if the fear of Clarkson public lashing has scared them straight - albeit temporarily.

    I saw the 64 game and I'm still in my home thanks!!!!

    I reckon “not 15” is worse. Especially if you’re a defender who’s just marked in the opposition goal-square. 😬

    'Not 15' . . . as it leaves the boot. My brain often thinks the same, but I'm not an AFL umpire. Wait until it doesn't go 15 meters before declaring it hasn't travelled 15 meters maybe?

    Hawthorns pressure is pretty good if they could just make the most of their opportunities they could win.

    Clarko’s parting gift to the Hawks - get as high up the ladder after some late season meaningless wins and cost themselves a mint draft pick after a mostly lousy year.

  • Quote

    Jeez, the Dogs look bloody ordinary today.

    The Hawks in their 'Clarko's Farewell Tour' are in a good spot to claim another victim

    How many clear OOB have gone against hawks ??? PLENTY

    Where are all those muppets that said we should have kept Frost? Still an absolute liability. Bulldogs haven't looked like kicking a goal, except for the two times Frost has turned it over.

    I picked Hawthorn today, as much as I loathe them. Clarkson is a coaching genius and his game day coaching a particular strength. Watching it now, it looks like the Dogs will come over the top in the 2nd half but It would be great for the Dees to see the Doggies get rolled.

    Dogs look horrendous. Mistake ridden. No system. Absolutely all in front of the Hawks now. Brilliant for us if Dogs lose this.

    Dogs losing doesn’t really help us if:

    Port win twice 

    Geelong win twice.

    If that’s the case we’ll all be booking flights for Adelaide for the qualifying final.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
