I expect them to have an extremely tough draw in the 2nd half of the year.

    As much as I dislike their coach Lord Farquaad.

    They probably deserve it this year.

    And just like that, geelong now become the hunted, everyone will dissect their game plan and will play their granny against them every week, they have the weight of expectation. 

    They might be able to handle it fine but I'm glad our boys can have somewhat of a break from the overwhelming expectation we had every week. 

    With a short pre season and an average list age of 98, I don’t know how they go back to back. But I never thought they would win it this year, so what do I know

    Don’t hold your breath. 19 games in Geelong straight coming right up. Special nursing home concessions.

    What a damp squib

    Swans won't be a factor next year. Not after this shellacking.  I'm not convinced by the pies or Lions

    It's us v the cats in 2023. I'm looking forward to it already

     

     

    100% they will.

    Up there with one of the dullest grand finals in history. AFL should be very disappointed with what was produced today. Geelong a good team, but not a great team. Melbourne 2021 would have monstered both teams today

    Bulldogs didn't recover after we belted them.  The same will happen the Swans I reckon

    And with a few minutes to go,  BT says Gil must be happy with the half time entertainment without a hint of irony.

    No they won't. 

    Bloods culture?

    You're kidding. First time I've left a gf at 3 quarter time. Franklin passed it 

    May unlocked the secret.

    Dees will be better next year and at least provide a contest.

    That’s all you got from that? 😂 I love you THBT.

    Should have been us in the granny. Better team than the Swans but just couldn't find a way to beat them, disappointingly.

    And the loss to the Lions. Even more disappointing.

    The offseason is all about improving the team and list, coming back hungry with a clean bill of health, refresh the game plan and we should be seriously challenging again

    Isaac Norm is great. I dunno, it's good that Geelong fans can give Hawthorn fans cr*p ablut that. It's like the two things cancel each other out

    Swannies were very very average. Also playing Sam Reid underdone and dropping Logan McDonald is a HUGE mistake. 
    We would’ve done far better than this, play four quarters in the game against Sydney and we would’ve, we blew it. On to next year. Cats another year older. Bring it.

    A fit Melbourne the only team that could have got close to the Cats this year.

    Makes me more confident that the Dees game plan still stacks up - will be interesting to see how the Pies and Swans play next year.

    But Cats are the team to beat next year. They’re strong, fit and there’s no clear weaknesses across the ground.  We need to respond.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
