Any game decided by less than a goal is worth watching. That was so exciting!

Would have preferred an Adelaide win

Yeah Freo could easily be 4-0 with their draw. 

Umpires tried hard but well done Freo.

    Freo’s Jordan Clark kicked a super goal in Q2 which he started from halfback, followed up and finished beautifully.   Hope he goes well and the Cats rue not playing him last year which may have precipitated his exit. 

    Great away win by Freo.   They have quite a bit of talent at Cockburn.  A few early season injuries to negotiate but a 2022 improver for sure.

    At least this has been a good round with evenly matched sides going up against each other. 
    Essendon aside, highest winning margin is ours at 26 points so far.

    GC$ over WCE could give it a push.  

    Inane comments and a truly grating voice.  Can anyone cite any positives?

    Don't know why but I am interested for the eagles and suns game. With the eagle injury list one would think that the suns should win but how often do we see a developing side play against an undermanned home side and still come up short.

    I presume the sparse crowd is due to covid restrictions

     

    Gold Coast will never ever have a better opportunity to win interstate than tonight.

    Dunno Jaded. I'll never quite erase the Balme to Neeld years. The Balme years are actually underrated in my view for their absolute awfulness.

    Kennedy gives away a free. Swears. No 50. 
    Kennedy gets out marked and encroaches on the mark. No 50. 
    Umpiring going beautifully as per usual.

    If suns can’t beat this eagles side they might as well hand the keys to Clarkson tomorrow

    Stadium has 50% limit there, besides WC has heaps of fair weather supporters

    Suns skill level horrible. Hard yakka when every disposal puts your team mate under the pump. Weagles will win this with half their firsts missing because they seem to be much better drilled.


    Umps paying free kicks against the Eagles. How novel

    I’m not watching WC v GC but quickly looked at stats on afl.com.  They credit GC with 13 scoring shots from 19 inside 50s for 4.3.  Is that a mistake or have they kicked 6 OOB?

    He’s elite at the buffet stats, that’s for sure.

    Just got home and switched on the box to find GC are getting pantsed by WC reserves. As a sporting non entity they'd be up there with the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL.

    Gee Jayden Stephenson is a liability.

    I have actually found the game entertaining but these two teams are bottom 4 for sure. Sullied by the incredibly poor skill level and Hawthorn winning.

    Along with Polec, an absolute dud on good coin. I feel for Norf . . . we were them not so long ago. Taking the crumbs off the table.

    If these 2 teams win more than 10 games between them this season I would be shocked.

    Norf will win more games than Whorethorn IMHO. There are some good young players on their list. Not so many down at Gold Taps Grove,.

    • 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.
