What a farce that is

    Just to reiterate how insane this round has been for the Bulldogs, the difference between them finishing 1st and 5th in the last round:

    1) 2 point loss after leading all game

    2) McCarthy scraping through a behind against West Coast (ignore Cameron’s after siren goal for a moment)

    3) Max Gawn kicking an after the siren goal (something he has missed before against same opposition) after his team was 44 points down

    I cannot remember a better round for football ever.

    Hopefully the Dockers get up over St Kilda today.

    Then we can watch Essendon play for their spot. Their fans will be sweating bullets. Just a pity they’re playing Collingwood who are absolutely no good - hopefully the pies decide to play out of their skin to deny their arch rivals a finals berth.

    If St Kilda win, Pies and Bombers is a dead rubber.

    Lions game had 24 extra seconds added to 4 th q , afl run for cover

    What happened there Satan? Heard Jordan Lewis talk a little about it, was it a time keeper error?

    To make this a perfect weekend we need Freo to beat St Kilda and the bombers to sheet the bed against the pies. Long odds of that happening but its been a crazy weekend so who knows.

    Today would be one of the few day in my existence that I want to see the filth win. Then again it won't matter if the saints stuff everything up and win.

    I’ve never known a club to get as many injuries game day as Freo. Genuinely, almost ever week they have two injured prior to half time. Today’s an example of that.

    Saints getting up over the Dockers takes most of the fun out of watching Bombers Vs Pies.

    If this game were a horse you'd pull a screen around it and put it out of it's misery.

    Gee Freo & west coast are disappointing this weekend. At least make Essendon earn there spot in the 8 & not just give it to them. 

    Now it will be worse if Collingwood win

    St Kilda are real spoil sports. They should have done the decent thing, let Freo win and make the Bombers sweat

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
