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,.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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?
