    Tigers have an easy run home. They could make finals. 

    Port in Adelaide, Hawks at the G and Essendon at the G. 

    Could lose all 3. They lost to Norf don’t forget

    Geelong like loss.  The Lions Blues game going to mean a lot next week.

    I've said it before but Brisbane's leadership and midfield is highly questionable. They go missing at really important points. Remind me of MFC circa 2002-2006. Really poor again.

    Agree.

    But their main issue is their woeful defence.

    Old school sysyem thst just doesn't cut it - as evidenced by how many big scores they've give up.

    Cost them this game as they simply couldn't stop the tiger's momentum

    From the AFL game day thread

    "Searching for their first win since Round 21, 2014 at the MCG, Brisbane gave up a 42-point lead and were overrun by the Tigers. This came about as Brisbane's ball movement was stifled by Richmond. In the first half, Brisbane turned 34 defensive chains into 16 forward 50 entries and 6.3 (39); in the second half, 30 chains only yielded seven entries and three behinds."

    Brisbane did a Melbourne.

    Welcome to the Dangerzone, Lions.

    Serious question- have we been 42pts down and lost this year? I don’t think so but wondering if you or anyone knows

    Random thought….

    Blues don’t make the 8 (even if they win tonight).

    Lions @ Gabba 

    Dees @ MCG

    Pies @ MCG 

    Tigers to win next 3.

    Blues making the 8 comes down to them beating the Pies rd 23.

    Massive choke from the Lions. They lost it more than the Tigers win it. Lions won contested footy, clearances, inside 50s etc. just what the bed when the pressure came

    Agreed. Zorko is the worst captain in the league and yes I am including Heppell in that. He is a hot head and thinks of himself. Argues with the umps and has personal grudge matches a lot. 

    the Sooner McCluggage is made captain the better for them

    Oops. I could not pick a winner to save my life this year. That is why I don't bet on Melbourne games.

    Another bonus out of that game is St Kilda. They have  to win next week now, most likely they wont but its now their Grand Final.

    Brisbane's chance to win a flag was the only year in history when the finals were/will be played in QLD. Not sure where they go from here. Back to QLD, I guess.

    They can’t win, neither can Flagmantle. It’s out of the current top 4.

    got an armchair ride to the prelim at the Gabba during covid impacted 2020 and still couldn't get the job done. Serial chokers in the big games

    Rippa great result for Dees beat Pies where locked in top two

    Wouldn't count on this - Sydney have North, Collingwood (at the SCG where they are 8-2) and St Kilda to come. Very good chance they make up the 4 points and 5% between us even if we go 2-1 from here.

    So basically if we beat the Pies and Carlton we will finish 2nd?

    I hate seeing Richmond win but it helps us

    For now.

    Keep winning and it could be us against the Swans at the G.

    Lose one and it could be Swans at the SCG.

    If that was the case, I think I would prefer to finish 4th and play the Cats at the G.

    Haven't worked out all the scenarios needed for various results yet, I am sure others on DL will.

    • 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.
