    Mixed feelings about this tigers win. They would be a very dangerous side if they get in the 8. I prefer them out than in and don’t fear Brisbane as much no matter where they finish. They could be energised with this win and cruise past their next 3 opponents. Hope I’m way off with my worry.

    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."

    Q) What does a Brisvegas supporter do after watching the Bears win the Premiership?

    A) Turn off the PlayStation.

    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. 

    If we win all 3 it looks like our opponent will come down to who wins the Sydney v Pies game at the SCG.

    But a lot still to play out.

    I don't aim to get too prying here picket ...... but your statement begs the question about the meaning of "random".

    Were you referring to the random nature of who you kissed or where you kissed?

    The game is so much better without countless players staging for frees

    Result - open footy, more attacking footy and more scoring opportunities

    Less congestion as the players need to keep moving the ball on instead of looking to get a soft free kick ... less stoppages as well

    The game at the MCG produced 29 goals ... what's not to like? 

    High contact, soft, frivolous free kicks are no more (in a general sense) and the players have been well and truly sent a message

    Players being fined retrospectively for staging is a great move too

    Agree on shelving the soft frees although I thought Cumberland’s first or second where he walked about 10m toward goal with a Lions player desperately hanging on around his waist then grounded the ball but got back up to kick the goal in full view of the umpire was pushing the boundary! Holding the ball or dropping the ball surely. But yes great spectacle.

    That was a shocking “non” decision

    In light of that Tigers win this week, the Pies game next week is absolutely massive. If we win, and barring some extraordinary thumping by one of the sides below us our percentage should lock us in to second with a win over either the blues or lions. We got this Dees.

    Is that a veiled reference to the Sullivan line? 😁

    Would that be the non call of rebouncing the ball that went about 5 meters out of the centre circle. #23 is a shockingly bad umpire.

    • 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.

      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.
