If our 4-peat involves 3 interstate clubs, I'll reluctantly take it.

    Hawthorn won theirs while the rest of the comp was hobbled by the compromised draft with the introduction of both GWS and GC IMO.
    Meanwhile they cherry picked clubs filling their needs with player looking for "success". 
    Found themselves in the right place at the right time.

     

     

    Exactly.. they had an easy run more then anyone.

    Brisbane did it harder then both. Should have had 4 in a row had the AFL not [censored] them over with the travel.

    Their dynasty [censored] all over Hawthorn and Richmond.

    Honestly this game is so poorly skilled. I’m having PTSD of Melbourne pre 2018.

    Brisbane are the best team I’ve ever seen in my life. They were unbelievable. Every single line was full of absolute stars

    Essendon 2000 were incredible. (washes mouth out with turpentine.) Not the same star power as Brissie 01-03 but a near-perfect machine. Curse them.

    Nup given up again. Saints get the lead then in the blink of an eye they're 3 goals down again. 

    They got Melbourne’d 😁


    It makes me irrationally angry to watch De Goey playing football. This scum should be in jail.

    Melbourne Victory'ed? Melbourne Storm'ed? Please do not associated Coll... I can't type it out ... that club with the mighty Demons in any way shape or form!

    That "deliberate" OOB shows (like in round 23 2021) that umpires have zero understanding of the game. Why would they, and it bounced in an off break 4 or 5 times.

    I cannot with St Kilda. Their ball use makes me so angry.

    Essendon cheated the salary cap in 2000.

    That was actually déjà vu!

    Richo said almost the same thing (about trying to keep it in) re Gussy’s deliberate in round 23

    Honestly, can’t recall seeing a team so bad at executing a handball as this Saints team

    You don't remember the Dees handballing to stationary team mates for 15 years straight? And missing that target.

    Well, at least we should be able to beat one of these teams when we play them.

    Sorry, having flashbacks.

    God this is shocking viewing but strangely entertaining. It's good to be premiers.

    We were woeful at everything, but tonight Saints handballing really has been horrendous

    Saints lost it as much as Colonwood won it.  

    Not much to get excited about either way, IMVHO.

    • 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.
