Some important games this weekend in shaping the top ten and the rest.

Hawks and Carlton (with one being undefeated) skews the longer term perspective perhaps.

The interesting ones for me are Pies V Cats, Adelaide v Port and Saints v Richmond. You can mount a case for each being a comparative upset result.


Sydney

Melbourne

Irrelevant but would love Port to be 0-3

Gold Coast because I hate GWS and also see above re: Port

Geelong *vomit*

Brisbane by 25+ goals

Carlton *vomit*

Who cares?

Who cares x 2?

WEST COAST EAGLES v FREMANTLE

EAGLES

TBA Saturday evening

DOCKERS

TBA Saturday evening

Nice touch with the old South jumpers. Better than the red yoke with the cutout bridge. 


I don’t think it’s been until watching the dogs this year that Bruce’s contribution to the team has become apparent to me. He’s so important to their set up. Takes a big defender, but does a lot of work across half forward and even the wing being a target out of the backline. There’s only so much Naughton and an inexperienced Ugle-Hagan can do for an entire game. 

Is there any player going around who’s more irritating that Weightman?

I loath Greene but at least he’s a genuine gun 

Floppy mcfloppy is a bloody average player.

I’m conflicted on Greene… he’s a different cat and a brilliant player. It’s a shame he has so little self control; he’s the Nick Kyrgios of footy!

Watching the bulldogs makes me feel sick. So many free kicks

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
