It makes me sick that Collingwood could actually make top 4. 

Collingwood’s last three are tough, but before that not so tough. We have a cracking finish coming up.

    Well it would be nice for Collingwood to fluff one soon, they really need to lose.

    I think you might be underselling how good the Pies are. 

    Fair point but I honestly don’t think they are good. A few good players. No stars. They are just coached well with an easy draw.

    Would you worried about playing them in finals? I realise this beat us but they hold no fear for me when something is on the line

    Depends how we go against them in round 21.

    There’d have to be some slight concerns if we play Collingwood in a qualifying final and the Pies have a potential 6-1 record over us since round 23 2017.

    Nightmares of a Pies v Cats GF

    It's not unlikely

    I put a sneaky shekel on when the pies v Cats GF was paying $71 just after QBday. Suspect the odds would be much lower now.

    They’re top 2 material if you ask me.

    They’re only a game and percentage below Geelong and have a laughable 4 weeks coming up.

    We'll see in the return game. If we can put together a really good 4 quarter game against them next time round then it will be nice and fresh in their minds. I firmly believe if May plays and Cox gets towelled up we win that last one even if not convincing. 

    I just want Collingwood no where near top 4, I want them to get lost.

    geez, gold coast really hard done by, umpiring very favourable to collingwood in the last. 

    They and Carlton are being umpired into favourable finals positions.

    Suns lost two close ones. They should be in the 8. Learning some harsh lessons

    “Kangaroos midfielder Luke Davies-Uniacke was outstanding with a game-high 35 possessions and eight clearances in a lone hand”

    I saw only bits of the Kangas v Cats (mainly watched Suns-Pies). But must say LDU is a gun and definitely one shining light for Kangas this season.

    Geelong gets North and the Eagles twice this season.

    Yes worked that out. Cats play Eagles at home in round 23.  That’s a nice draw for them and their percentage.

    AFL is rubbish if Melbourne aren’t playing. 

    True. But there’s something poetic about a Hawthorn vs GWS game being the most irrelevant game of the weekend. So irrelevant I won’t even bother watching. Watching WC Richmond hoping for the miracle upset, watched North hoping they would injure the cats, to no avail.

  • Quote

    How accurate Richmond:

    14.4 and 3 of their behinds have been rushed. Tom Lynch the only Richmond player to have kicked a behind.

    Accuracy is literally the difference in this one.

    • 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.
