A Big Friday night game.

Who would have thought it would be the "last chance saloon" for these two teams so early in the season.

If GWS beat the Cats that is probably goodbye top 4 for the Great Ocean Road team

The rest of the round is rather humdrum but perhaps the Crows upsetting the Blues could round out the weekend.

    Oh can hawthorn just do a job on Essendon so there is more media focus on them and talk about reviews, players who aren't performing and just there team in general.

    Well we will lose top spot this weekend (for at least 12 hours)

    maybe even go down the desperate lows of 3rd spot

    The Lions will gain around 15% I'd say!

    Why? coz their players don't look after their bodies and train/recover correctly.  they have 17 injuries and would be able to cope with players out with covid for one week

    get a decent conditioning and high performance coach and get some standards

    I don't get this. They are missing 3 players because of covid. The rest are injuries. That happens in footy

    Port, Freo, Tigers, Swans, GWS, Essendon, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide. 
    I suck at tipping though, tend to let MFC’s best interests and my hatred of teams guide me, not wise.

    Yep just read that. Honestly you just shake your head. Just be sensible. I mean you are entitled to have a life but when your club can barely fill a team each week just use your brain

    With the exception of GWS v Cats this week looks reasonably straight fwd, but as we know there’s been at least 2 big upsets each week.

    Don't know what the go is with FTA broadcasting this round, but it appears that only three of the nine games will be on Channel 7 - one tonight and two tomorrow afternoon.  Looks like there is no Saturday night nor Sunday arvo games on FTA.

    Anybody have any idea why they aren't showing the customary four matches at the usual times?

    Now what did Arnold Schwarzenegger say in that movie where he played the robot, when the janitor came knocking on his motel room door?

    I imagine Channel 7's response would be along the same lines.

    Two friday night games.... OK I can try to get on board.  One in Perth so obviously start the Melb game at 7 and then the WA game starts at 9:30 (7:30pm local time) so no overlap yeah?

    Oooh no, AFlL decide to start the WA game at 6:40pm local time and have an entire half is overlapped with the other game.

    Why you ask??  good question!

    I don't think north will perform well even with Freo's outs but still.

    can anyone enlighten me?

    Well…for that reason and that reason alone, there should be no cancellation of the game. Let the players and the team reap what they’ve sowed!

    Powell-Pepper running through the banner with a baby, who looks about a week or 2 old? WTF?

    I never see the point of footballers running through the banner with their kids, but this is next level.

    No doubt the commentators are told to not question or say negative things about the umpires

    thats the only reasonable explanation

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
