Gees you’d be furious if you gave up so much draft capital for Tim Kelly. Struggle to be in the top 120 players in the comp.

    Thoroughly enjoyable game.

    They nearly coughed it up but a great confidence boost for North before playing Freo next week. Reckon they're half a chance.

    That wasn’t a mark so didn’t deserve the goal. 

    Hard to believe with four umpires they couldn’t see that.

    Young Sheezel can play. And comes across as a level headed young fella in his post game interview with Ben Dixon

    Even the commentator said Norf had the rub of the green.

    That's pretty bad by west coast. also why were they handballing in those final moments in the middle. Boot it forward and get it going. 

    Nth fans feel like how we felt all those years ago when we were so bad that a win felt good, but in reality I hitnk there next win will be awhile away. 

    what was the crowd?

    He's great player with 2 better mids above him.  Hence he was brilliant at Geelong.  he doesn't have the "size" to control the centre by himself.  All the trade capital ended up at GWS.

    Yes and he's sitting only DT tech :(  I wonder if I should trade in a non-playing player to get his score.

    Maybe it was never really "free kick hawthorn."

    Perhaps it's "free kick A. Clarksons team."

    There has to be something seriously wrong at WC, they have too many players who (on paper) are performing well below their best.

    Who's going to be the one to tell Clarkson that it's not a free kick to his team?

    On Collingwood, the funny is people say about last nights game “they’ll have trouble playing like that every week”, well they don’t have too. They only have to play like that against 4/5 sides. The rest of the time they can afford to play 1/2 as good and beat most sides or just play like that in patches when required.

    Hope you’re right but wouldn’t have thought they could give Freo a serious challenge.

    Just fuels the fire to stick it up them when they walk off the ground failing in their endeavour

    the statistical dominance by Port over Brisbane is mind blowing

    For example half way through last quarter

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
