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: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
