Kind of hoping for an Essendon win against the Odds to add another layer to shambles that club is.

And be nice send off for Rutten who seems an entirely decent bloke...

Deserves a good send off. Stick it up those cowboys 

I reckon Rutten is cut from the Goodwin cloth but Essendon is about 35 years behind Melbourne in its realization of where they are, what the competition is these days, and what they need to do to be successful again. It took Melbourne a very long time to understand it doesn't just "happen", and Essendon are in the same boat now (and have been for the last 20 years).

Long may it continue - happy to see them stuck in the Essendon equivalent of Melbourne circa the mid-80s forever.

If you're looking for a way to get hammered tonight, have a drink every time a Channel 7 camera cuts to a shot of Ben Rutten in the coaches box.

I never need a reason to get hammered D'stone ........ nonetheless you make an excellent point.


Decided to watch the showdown as these games are always entertaining, particularly when you live in Adelaide and dont give a dame with either team.

Dees v Freo and Cats v Swans would be my preferred QF scenario. 

Would rather the inverse because that way, this will be the most likely Preliminary Final scenario - a more desired outcome

Jeelong just make me sick 

Particularly when Hudson, Dwayne or Whately are calling. It is just pure projectile vomit. 

kelli underwood too

she can give the full history of the reg hickey stand

I've never been more uninspired by a minor premier as I am of Geelong. I can't wait to beat them.

Showdown is a ripper so far


Who is the F wit on 5aa commentating 

I have never heard such bias towards the PAP

it’s worse than 3GL!!!

It irritates me to see players that have clearly practised or been taught how to milk frees

Prime example. Being tackled from behind while standing and just falling forwards on purpose to draw an in the back

I’ve never seen a worse number 2 than Brisbane

Jeez, those Tigger's jumpers look like something you'd hand out to an under 12's or Auskick team.

Yes. They are just awful (but they did win a 🏆 in them as I recall).

Exactly.  Gifted scheduling, shonky home ground, totally entitled, DH of a coach….. but no strong match training going into finals May (hopefully) see them out in straight sets

I reckon Broad ran off Hurley to leave him free to mark and goal.  Footy has a heart.

  • REPORT: 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.
