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

    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 😎

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
