    This is a look of a bloke that's already been told he's sacked.. Seriously feel for him, the treatment alone had been utterly pathetic. 

    Absolute disgraced of an organisation is Essendon.  

     

    Hopefully years of failure ahead. Entitlement is a b-tch.

    This is why I wouldn't be putting the house on Geelong to win the flag just yet.
     
    In 2022, Geelong played against teams in the current top 8 only 7 times. They haven’t played a current top 8 side twice. They also haven’t played a current top 8 side for 5 weeks and they’ve played West Coast and North twice.
     
    Melbourne have played against current top 8 sides 10 times this year. We’ve played Freo, Collingwood and Brisbane twice, and only played West Coast and North once.

    Never seen anything like it before. Hope this club burns in hell for all eternity.

    If Walsh out i dont think Carlton can sustain all these injury problems any longer. They came out of the blocks running in R1  and didnt stop until they collapsed exhausted.

    Looks like Collingwood might have this. Would be hilarious if hawks beat the The Bont Allstars.

    I can't believe Walsh is out, worst news.

    Both teams rolling the dice with players not fully fit.

    Collingwood:  De Goey, Ginnivan

    Carlton:  Williams

    It should be a 'fight to the death' type game.  Just as well there is a two week break until the first final.

    I'm tipping Carlton.

    Can you get King to kick straight WCW?

    Walsh out is a blow but he did nothing last week anyway. Lets just hope the hawks can beat dogs as I think Carlton played their final last week. I hate to say it but the filth will probably win. Unlike others I would like to play the filth first up and to give those low life amoebas a good thrashing.

    Might go for Carlton to just lose and the Dog to win by one point not enough to make it. Give the saints something to play for.

    BBO in disguise?

    Hawthorn look horrible.  Carlton will need to win if they want to make it.

    Nice to see future Melbourne FF Naughton kick the first goal.

    Which is why I respect both Melk and Hibbo.
    Both had the gonads to leave.

    And Paddy Ryder. He didn't mince his words

    I love watching David Rodan as goal umpire. Always looks like he's having a blast

    No fan of Hawthorn and hate to say this but Mitchell has them playing an exciting brand of footy. Superb transition from D50 for that goal.

    And no fear taking on the risky kick into the corridor

    We should offer their squad use of our bullseye just for today. Or perhaps not, it hasn’t always worked for us.

    I thought Kent was to play his 100th and last game? He is named as emergency. 

    surely they wouldn’t insult him by having him as sub for a fake ‘game’

    Would prefer the doggies to win this purely to ensure Carlton need to win against the Pies. Finals on the line makes that a massive game. And I want carlton and the pies to belt 7 bells out of each other

    Walsh is a late out for Carlton, sadly helping the Filth.

     

    Is this confirmed??

    Sorry a bit off topic but arises out of the dogs hawks match.  An example of the AFL not thinking clearly about the rules they come up with. 
     A player is on the ground and an opponent pushes the ball under him hoping to get a holding the ball free for pulling it in. The umpire tells them he is not paying the free.  Quite right. But why not penalise the player who pushed it under?  The “pulled the ball” in rule was instituted to stop players holding up play. Whether you pull or push the effect is to do just that. So it should be a free against whoever did the action to hold up play.  Why not?

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
