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.

Almost every dees defender has put in some spud games this year but would you drop lever ? Impossible.Its a tough competition.

Walsh out would be a huge loss for the baggers.

    They beat us. They’re a glass cannon, their best is very very good, their worst is very very bad.

    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?

    I’ve often thought this

    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.

    They also have poor final performances in the back of their heads.

    We go in as the "invincibles".

    Hoping we maintain that confidence.

    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 like to see him get a run late in the game and nail a couple of goals, that effect the percentage enough so we end up 2nd.

    Addit: have the med subs been named yet?

    There's been more  "in swing" and "out swing" today than during a test match.

    Want Dogs to win so then Baggers will need to go all out and with pies also needing a win to stay in 4 it could be on for young and old.

    One can only assume, despite his so called 'name', he's cheap.

    why is it that a player can be out of bounds and play on while out of bounds and it not be called out of bounds? Sidebottom moved off his mark while out over the boundary, seen other players play on by running outside the boundary line before kicking. am i missing something

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
