Collingwood look the goods today. Let's hope the heavens open and the last quarter turns into a really heavy slog.

They are pretty much just being Freo… look the goods only to run out of puff mid season. I’m half expecting Brisbane to do the same.

Nah. Brisbane's loss to the Hawks is equitable to our loss to the Crows last year. They'll still be hard to beat. Freo on the other hand just don't have the talent.

These are the gateway to barracking for Essendon. 🤮 

OK, that is a bridge too far! Into the naughty corner with you, and come back when you have had a good long think about what is right and true in this world.

I think you’re probably right re Brisbane, but it wouldn’t be the first time they’ve faded after starting the season well.

We could hardly have asked for a better set of results this weekend. 


Geez. If we can get up next week Freo could fall as low as 8th.

It’d mean more if it was round 21 but a gap at anytime is great. 

 

Collingwood and Hawthorns best is pretty good. Fremantle have been very average two weeks in a row, probably play off the charts next week. But I am not sure they have enough match winners to challenge for the flag.

Gardiner is a liability in defence.

Some fascinating games this weekend not the least being that which is played on Mars.

Some upsets late Sunday would be nice

How nice !!

With Geelong still being in their alternative universe premiership window they'd be mad not to offer Mundy a 3 year deal at the end of the season. 

Smart move to put Frost in attack. With instructions to do your usual thing and make sure the ball goes through the big sticks behind you.

I hope that Slim Shady little runt tries that rubbish on us

Nothing wrong with it lol.

Good on him, backs it up with his footy and we need more characters like him in the game.

Loved it.


Boarding domestic for Hanoi and we’re 3 games nearly 50% in Top 4

Would have been better if Carlton and Geelong lost. 

First game of the year whereby the losing side kicked 100 points.

Last year it happened twice.

In 2000 it happened 8 times in the first two rounds of footy.

How footy has changed over the last 20 odd years.

It's very good of our traditional rival clubs to show us ways to beat our immediate challengers Freo & Brisbane. Don't worry, we won't be merciful when it's your turn.

the word is they're going to offer buddy a 7 year deal


We now have the best PA (points against) and the third best PF (points for). 

MFC 580 PA 938 PF

LIONS 745 PA 1065 PF

BLUES 813 PA 932 PF

FREO 608 PA 780 PF

I hated it, he hasn’t got a humble bone in his body, good club cultures wouldn’t put up with that kind of rubbish 

And he’s not that good

I legitimately don’t think he was being a smart [censored], I just think he’s an excited kid. He’s so young. There’s no need to take the joy out of everything is there?

  • 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.
