Great to seeFreo win an away game like that for one of their greats and beat the most favoured team in the AFL  with [censored]'S.

    Looks like we'll have to win both our remaining games to make Top 4. 

    Some might say you make your own luck in this game, but JUH kicking 5.0 against us, Collingwood kicking 15.4 last night , and barely any other results going our way recently have made things tricky.

    With all that said, stumbling into September, finishing 5th and then making a GF is still very much possible. That's what the Dogs did last year.

    Dogs played their grand final against us 3 weeks ago. Nothing left.

    You can see how Geelongs small and half forwards push up all the way to the contest  and then attack in a wave of half back. It’s the same way Pies sling shot. 

    This is their blueprint I think you need to stop their out number at the contest to have a crack at winning. It’s a modified version of the Richmond game plan.

    The Saints v Cats qtr time score line is pretty much what ours should have been at qtr time. Credit to the Cats they know how to score when they have momentum.

    I’m with you BDA. Why voluntarily watch Geelong dole out a hiding. 
    But there is ONE good thing about  this weekend of footy… Essendon lost. And that’s never a bad thing. 😁

    Um so if Sydney and Brisbane win by enough we slip to 5th correct?

    Sounds like a multi worth having given the way things have gone for us this year ie relying on  others as we continue to merde Le bed

    Same. But when we don’t win, watching the likes of Essendon win makes it more painful.

    Wow losing to Dogs put our form into perspective. Dogs a putrid today. It amazing how some teams lift against us.

    Yes, it happens to all existing premiers, to anyone on top at the time.  plus the hardest draw.

    You’ll get a good price for Sydney to win by 34 and Brisbane to win by 86.

    Robbie gray is finished. Always admired him as a player.

    That only works out if the opposition do not score. ie for every goal North scores Swan need to score extra 8 points.

    Amazing. Frees only 18 - 14 in favour of Footscray.  Bevo will have to complain to HQ.

    We have stuffed up OUR OWN chances fot=r a top 2 finish with inept goal kicking more than anything else.  

    IF the coaching team don't review this and work hard on it in the offseason then it will continue unabated, and cost us again.

    I've lost interest in the games on this evening. I've flicked over to the Commonwealth Games where we've already snagged another 3 gold

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
