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. 😁

    I’m not so bloody minded

    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.

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

    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

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
