I thought the Saints/Port game was a contender for the worst game of the year. This might be even worse when you factor in the fact that this is the best possible conditions you can play in.

 

Looking forward to Swans/Lions though to see who the true #1 contender to us is.

    Dogs struggling to get away from a pretty average Essendon.

    Everyone's waiting for the Dogs to start a fightback to save their season. I'm not convinced it's going to happen.

    Right now it seems the best sides in it outside of us are Fremantle, Brisbane and Sydney. That may well be the top 4. Geelong has a whole lot of weapons but can't stop sides scoring. St Kilda and Carlton are 5-2 but neither is convincing.

    So if the bottom 2 are West Coast and North, who are the bottom 4?

    Essendon and Gold Coast? Adelaide perhaps?

    Port and GWS might be finding some form.

    Suns finishing bottom 4 will surely cost Dew his job. Essendon finishing bottom 4 might cost Rutten his job.

    Swans v Lions is like watching 36 men wrestling in a paddock. It is hardly even football. I like pressure games but this is more like Rugby League with tackle after tackle after tackle. No spectacle at all, and some of the worst field kicking you will see. 

    So tired of handball (throw) over the head, and so tired of poor goal kicking.

    Watching Essendon cop a merciless hiding never gets old. Nor ever will. Go Dogs!

    I’ll look for the highlights package of this game just to watch Essendon have goals kicked against them

    The Worsfold - Rutten succession plan has been a resounding success thus far.

    The SGC is the absolute worst regular-use ground to watch football being played at. I mean, you can't even fit regulation 50m arcs onto it - it's way too small.

    I wonder when the lanky guy with the pea head and ponytail due back for Brisbane?

    Lion's skill and pressure has broken through the Swans defensive suffocation to  break the game open. They are making the Swans look 2nd rate.

    Lions clearly the biggest challenger to us  hipwood back in 2 weeks

    Bailey McStay Cameron

    McCarthy Daniher Hipwood + Raynor 

    is easily the best fwd line in the league. 

    we have them marginally in the midfield and our defence is superior

    Different swans in the second half. They obviously got a serious bake from Longmire during the break

    Buddy has found a good batch of Voltarin (my favorite drug).

    Agreed. Best thing AFL could do is move GWS to Canberra and have Sydney play out of the GWS ground.

    Meanwhile Buddy is turning back the clock in the 3rd!

    Think the football played today has been pretty good. Pies and Suns had plenty of scoring throughout. Swans and Lions very high energy

    But Malthouse says they will be premiers. Maybe he is actually some other sort of …..house.

    Lions are proving Sydney aren't quite at the level.

    Seeding:
    1. Melbourne
    2. Brisbane
    3. Fremantle
    4. St Kilda

    Western Bulldogs could make a Grand Final from anywhere in the eight.

    It seems most people here think the Geriatric Cats are done... I am one of them 😎

    • 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.
