Seeing quite a few tackles where the ball is knocked out but no free. Do only Collingwood get these?

Saints having a crack but lacking class.

    Kevin Rudd was PM when Daniel Rich won the rising star. How is he still playing??

    Solid contributor. Brisbane is made up of them. Reliable down back. Not sure he's finals material though.

    I really hope the Saints get up tonight.

    And as I post Lions get a last minute goal to put them back in front

    Harmes has to come in to tag Neale next week. Keeping him quiet goes a long way towards beating them.

    Cameron goes to ground with ball, taps his face to try to get the umpire to pay a free rather than punch the ball away and then eventually punches it. Presumably it wasn’t paid holding the ball out of sympathy.

    C'mon Saints, if they do is a favour tonight and we win tomorrow top 4 would  basically be a lock .

    I think he is trying to worm his way into the periphery of the UN in New York - but I agree he shouldn't still be in the game.

    Tuned in at the 10 minute mark of the first quarter and within 10 minutes witnessed at least 3 Jamie Elliot tackles and guess what they were all “ play on”! FMD it’s a joke.

    I guess Crouch thought that it was now OK to bump in the head - but, Mr Crouch, you are NOT a big name player so prepare for the rebound and exaggerated wrath.

    How was Starcevic not in the back against  - karma bit him and hurt his shoulder though.

    And isn't  Zorko a little sniper?    I really think that the repetitive cheap jabs to the guts and ribs should be stamped out - report for striking.  Any repeats -> suspension.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
