Dons pose a bigger risk of Finals upsets than Eagles.

    Both Freo and West Coast can still make the eight. Only two outside that can.

    I enjoyed that game. Great atmosphere, seasons on the line. West Coast lose. Great stuff

    WCE should really chair Margetts off the ground...

    Lovely simple end to the H+A Season:

    Melbourne win, top of the ladder
    GWS/Essendon win, finals

    GWS/Essendon lose, WCE/Freo win, finals.

    It's all set up.

    Giants and bombers play blues and pies so no chance for WA teams

    Ch 7 news has just decreed that in their view Hawkins will not be charged. 
    So, nothing to see here. 

    I didn’t realise paying hundreds of millions for tv rights also allowed Channel 7 MRO voting rights, but there you go.

    You been watching this season. Sad part is ten wins might get you a finals game. Granted it most likely will take 11 wins.

    West Coast have to beat Brisbane in Brisbane and Freo need to beat St Kilda by a massive margin and hope Essendon lose to Collingwood. Good [censored] luck. 
    GWS play Carlton. Lol.

    AFL website says Hawkins and Dangerfield, no case to answer. 
     

    Predictable,  really. It was an act of foolish optimism to have posed the question in the first place…(with apologies to Monty Python)

    The worst thing about the Hawkins decision is you can almost guarantee if he was at small club he would have been suspended.

    Absolutely 100%. Annoys the F out of me that the cats get this free ride with the MRO. 

    Rules for one club, different for other clubs. 

    When it comes to the MRO’s ruling the first box that gets ticked is “Do they play for Geelong?”

    Yes = no case

    No = immediate suspension

    Did you pick the Hawks to beat the Dogs this week.

    Actually yes. Game was in Tassie for one. Clarko on a mission to give Hawks board the fingers. Dogs lost Bruce so need time to adjust. 
    Freo’s list is decimated by injuries.

    My hopes for week 23

    We win the minor premiership

    Port lose to the doggies and finish 4th so play us in week 1 of finals

    West coast lose to Brisbane and miss finals

    The pies beat Essendon (they did it to us a few years ago maybe they'll repeat the trick against the bombers)

    Freo to beat the Saints who have nothing to play for thereby sneaking into 8th spot at the expense of Essendon

    That would be an epic final H&A weekend as far as i'm concerned

    Bit of a shame that freo winning means that essendon stay in the eight. 

    Essendon scare me more atm than west coast.

    You can’t count on much this year but the pies and blues being [censored] is the closest thing to a sure thing we have right now

    • 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.
