The venue itself is a great place to watch a match, the crowd is a different story, but this time you get to be the smug premiership winning wnker supporter, how good.

I agree its a great venue Cards albeit a tad blustery and hard to watch if there's a westerly blowing.  Most of the game played on the Middleborough Road wing/flanks if there is one.

So are you suggesting we put on all our 'premiers' gear and go!??  I can hear the banter now.... "so you've won one in how bloody long and you now reckon you're hot [censored] huh!?" 😄

    Taj Woewodin came off late in the Casey game after taking a big hit. Hopefully, he’s all right - not included in the Round 7 report above.

    Feel for Smith.  He can't take a trick.  Another medium term injury.  8-10 weeks is huge.

    Smith out for 8-10 weeks, unlucky lad. Had a few too many drinks at the game on Saturday and not sure how it happened.  Can someone clarify?

    Was in the third quarter on the members' wing. He was pushing for a spoil/mark, from memory, landed a bit awkwardly and then reached down for his ankle. That was that, I think.

    Thanks just saw it in the Video Link above. Feel for Joel, out of contract at the end of the season too - poor fella

    Such a shame for J Smith. Was such a trivial incident and can’t believe it resulted in a fracture.

    Tommo is obviously next in line, given that Petty comes back in this week.

    I preferred Joel Smith over Tomlinson as he is quicker and can handle guys on the lead better. Probably makes Jayden Hunt more important because we need someone who can rebound.

    Smith can't take a trick, his body doesn't seem to be capable of playing consistent AFL football. He is always injured. Poor guy.

    I wonder what is going on with Hibbo. Is he done with that calf do we think?

    Death, taxes and Joel Smith breaking down with injury every single year.

    Hibbo looked really good in the practice match against North Jaded, calf injuries seem tricky. Initially it was two weeks and now we’re almost a third of the way through and he’s still struggling with it. Would love to see him back out there even if it’s with Casey.

    It seems to me calf injuries are very tricky when the player in question is over 30. Having said that, I suspect a fully fit Hibberd would struggle to break into this side at the moment anyway.

    joel smith has never played more than four consecutive senior games - and then only once - in six years

    so is it never or only once?

    He's played four games in a row once (Rounds 15-18 in 2020).

    That is the one and only time he has strung more than three games in a row together. He's managed three a few times, including Rounds 1-3 this year.

    I’d say you initially thought you’d keep it to just one or two tins, but then got caught up in a round system with your mates. By half-time there was really no turning back plus - look out - Jono’s just pulled out a cheeky hip flask of Jamesons, fellas…

    • REPORT: 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.
