    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?

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
