Sydney breaking our tackles too easy.

    Trac is struggling with the quad. 
    They have done a great job tagging and illegally blocking Oliver. Love how the umpires turn a blind eye when it’s Clarry. He will never win the Brownlow the way the umpires hate him.

    The Swan talls are double teaming Maxy much of the time and starting to win the aerial battle.

    Get BB playing higher up the ground a little more often to help out.

    Instruct the smalls and the mediums around the drop to stay out, crumb, feed and run it back in to a more open forward line with Fritta, Melk & Kozzie lurking.

    A lot of basic skill errors, we should used to this pressure footy.

    Jesus christ where is Oliver, Gawn, Petracca, Kozzie and Melksham?

    All senior players that have gone MIA.

    Brayshaw looks completely cooked with that knee bandaged

    Play the man and you give the opposition extra fire.

    I remember in the GF when the little bloke from the Bulldogs stood over Max - not long after that, the game changed

    -8 in clearances. Not getting much drive out of the stoppage.

    Gonna be a grind. Sydney's fierce attack at the footy is what keeps it rolling their way. Need our mids to lift at the drop of the ball

    Where moving the ball to slowly and getting smacked in clearances. Midfield need to lift big time.

    The swans at 2.57 (out to 2.75 pre game) was outrrrrrrrreageous value

    Even if we win (big if at current rate) still outrageous 

    swans can win it all this year 

    Not playing well and we have lots of guys that are way down on form - Trac, Viney, Melk , Kozzie, Gus …

    and a goal down - we need a big lift from these guys asap 

    May has been good but honestly to get sucked into Franklin is just so dumb 

    Franklin gets a tap in the back & goes down like he was shot. May just needs to keep his cool in the 2nd half & not get sucked in. Umpiring pathetic. Someone needs to clean up that [censored] Papley too.

    We lost our momentum with the double 50. No need for may to lose his cool. We were on top. 
     

    50/50 game. Swans hard at it around the ball. They’re a tough outfit. 

    Swans killing us at the stoppages, sweating on us when we have possession, and building their attack off the turnover. We only win this if we take ownership of the contested pressure game. Just gonna fumble and fiddle our way to a loss otherwise. Longmire is a frankly brilliant coach.

    Max and Jackson have gone missing.

    Incredibly disappointing performance from both so far.

    May started the momentum swing with utter stupidity 

    He was stupid 

    I count 3 goals for Sydney directly caused by bad decisions, Lever not handballing out to team mate boundary side, turns back into traffic, ball spills Hayward kicks the opener. May getting sucked in by Buddy off the ball 50 m and goal. And Max trying to chip a 20m ball to Ed surrounded by 4 swans opponents. Dumb footy like this is the only thing that stops us winning this.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
