A better spreadsheet of the Brisbane scores to make top 4.

There is no need for that spread sheet @Demonland, the only thing that will be getting spread this arvo are the cheeks of West Coast's collective butts.

    First of all let's just win tonight then we'll start talking.

    Outside of the MCG and Marvel where in Australia have the Dees played there best Football and their record has stood up in the past 5 years?

    Answer: Adelaide Oval its a no brainer, logistically its a 1 hour flight, the players love the ground.

    What more is there to say.

    You live there so you can get along to support the team. And bring along as many crows fans as you can muster (if we are playing Port)

    The Blues would have to be as kind in their farewell of Teague as they were in his first game as coach. Can’t see it happening because he’s lost the players.

    Brett Ratten the only half decent coach at Carlton in the past two decades was sacked by the club. The other half dozen coaches were sacked by the players. Expect a 100 points loss to farewell Teague.

    probably likely......

    .....but, sometimes these situations go the other way

    We farewelled Roos with a 100 point loss. Shameful effort from our players that day

    Not sure of the logic here. 

    If we win tonight, we can still end up in Adelaide for the prelim - they win their first final, we lose ours. Puts us in their half of the draw. 

    Sorry your right, I just felt this was the most unlikely scenario.  They would need to beat the Cats in week 1. If not then they will never have a choice of ground for the Prelim. Anyone playing them from the Week 1 winners will opt for Gabba or Optus I would have thought.

    I just want what's best for the footy club home state aside.

    Yep that really gave me a sour taste, he deserved so much better from the players.

    I always had a soft spot for Frosty with his effort and aggression (and still do) but christ im happy with May/Lever/Petty down back and not stressing seeing him near the ball.

    He did everything right in the last contest getting in front to take a game winning intercept mark only for him to fumble it and his man kicks the game drawing goal.

    Bachar Houli has been the only likeable bloke on that team. And a very good player as well.

    Brisbane have kicked 40 goals the last 2 weeks. Think I’d rather play Port

    Who have they played! Pies and Dockers...not what you would say are great defensive teams with lots of talent on song.

    What a fix up that was at the MCG.

    kind of fitting and sums up 2021 with that draw. Deep down Clarko would not be happy with his team giving up the last 5 goals.

    Looks like the Eagles can be bothered today. Lions will have to work hard to get the percentage they need

    • 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.

    • 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.
