One of my close friends is a Hawks fan and he's still haunted by Milkshakes goal from 2018 finals campaign 

Maybe a repeat?

    Majak to make his debut if Jacko is out?

    Now that would be interesting and very likely to succeed

    Probably won’t happen though I was just throwing it out there more likely to be Weid or Tmac in to give Max a ruck chop out

    I think we'll be ok. LJ hurts because he gives great backup for max & sometimes is the best choice.

    We coped without Brown the other week & last week won without viney & lever

    And I only had to elbow about 10 kids’ heads outta my way on the path to Maxy’s hand. 🙃

    Sounds fair.

    But this hand slapping with crowd afterwards has to stop.

    I've accepted he'll get a game.

    It's quiet obvious the coaches are desperately wanting to get him into the side for some unknown reason.

    Did sparks fly when your hands touched, Civil?

    I have to say it’s not ideal having 3 going out this week but how good is it being a Dees supporter when you are still confident with getting the 4 pts and having 2 stars step straight back in.

    Again I find this intriguing and fascinated to see how we cope, I expect we will have more than 3 players and 1 coach go down, then it gets strange.

    We would have had many players test positive earlier in the year and therefore they are at a much lower risk to contract it again.  Having a few go down doesn’t mean we will more

    Imagine our defence with Rodman in the team. 

    The stat line would read:

    Kicks = 0

    Handballs = 0

    Marks = 0

    Spoils = 22

    Umpire dissent = 4 x 50’s

    For him, maybe. For me it was a little meh, whatevs.

    Haven’t washed my hand since, not planning to anytime soon. 

    Anyways, I’m more of a Steven May-restraining-order kinda gal.

    Unlikely to be that high given a majority of the team have already had it earlier in the year. I know it doesn’t stop you from getting again but the risk is considerably less. It’s not the same as what has happened to WC.

    Only way Majak would play is if Max goes down

    Opportunity for Daw (Jackson)  I suspect.  Reprieve for Dunstan (Sparrow). .   Bedford likely to fill in for Kosi.  Lever and Viney to return.

    Not going to happen, Gus's current role is way to important to the team structure.

    Tmac in to allow Weid to do the Jackson role. Weid has been training with the rucks and has been doing that role with Majak when playing for Casey. Otherwise I think you are spot on.

    Interesting that the two WA boys got it, as well as the SA lad. I’m gonna guess that they may be amongst the few who didn’t cop it here over summer, after spending time back home on their break. Hopefully, the rest of the boys have had it and have stronger immunity.

    Kozzie shares a house with Spargo and Bedford. I did wonder at that situation but they may have already had it as you said. A good thing that the close contact rules have changed. As an aside, Tuesday last week I stopped at the Cheeky for a coffee, a black Ford Ranger parked in front of me and Koz and Toby got out. Didn't get a chance to talk to them as they looked to be in conversation with one of their sponsors. I don't know the gentleman but I did hear part of the conversation and I do know both players have a common sponsor.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
