Well if we beat Lions, odds are we play them in Sydney. Are you happy with that?

At least it’s a double chance and to date we haven’t lost interstate this season. 

Depends on margins it could also be at the G.

    Lions favourites (slight) next week. Would that be the first time the market has us opening up as ‘underdogs’ this season?

    We have a 39.29% win ratio at the SCG with 11 wins and 17 losses. It hurts we have to rely on other results. But would be depressing to finish 6th and play Richmond after being 10-0. Double chance means we could win the flag despite our form this year. Lose against the Lions and our season is almost certainly done.

    And Bombers lose by 84 points, nice way to finish a good weekend.

    Essendon's performance in 2022 has been nothing short of pathetic. They have really fallen off a proverbial cliff.

    Also pro tip: Never take shelter from a thunderstorm under a proverbial cliff.

    Where was that kind of kicking from Collingwood last week. Sydney did what we should have done had the kicking for goal not been so nuts.

    Podcast on AFL website this morning from Damien Barrett.

    "Ed was right",   with Barrett noting Ed Langdon was right about the Pies being 'one trick" - which he was and many in the media agreed supporting him at the time.

    Hopefully it brings a smile to Ed's face this morning after a rock climbing effort probably.

    And a lot of those loses were in the period when we couldn't beat ourselves in an ultra club game.

    On the topic of Ed, any reason why Carlton supporters were booing him on the weekend?

    Were they sticking up for Collingwood or something?

    Maybe Ed said they were all Souv and no laki - who knows, they generally are a pretty dim lot

    Either way you can cut through that irony with a Tim Shaw steak knife.

    Heads are going to roll at Essendon after that insipid performance. The straw that broke the camels back for sure.

    Does North try and win this weekend  avoiding B2B wooden spoons or do they flop around lose and take 1st draft pick.The player will probably refuse to sign up...lol

    Yes .Heard this at the ground. It was very half hearted and amusing compared to the loud booing to cripps right through the game. But now I'm glad he beat the wrap so he can deal with the pies on sunday

    I couldnt understand why most posters wanted pies to lose. Now we're in real pickle. Pies winning was much better as they have a putrid %. Swans% better than ours. And they play garbage next week.

    Think it's just force of habit.

    As the blues have a much chance of beating the Pies. If we both lose we stay above pies. Swans will win for sure. Saints nothing to play for

    It is a great pity that King didn't get the Saints up over the Pooh Bears.  He flung his body and legs around as if he needed to kick the ball over the grandstand.    On the same topic, Gawn for his first point could have kept his hand on the ball for longer while dropping the ball and wouldn't have needed to chase it with his foot.  It makes you love TMac even more.  The big guy kicked like a back man but now his run, drop and leg are on the same line with mathematical precision.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
