I have watched the ending to Port and Swans 100 times because I love watching their hearts break after celebrating way too early. Oliver Florient mouthing "What Happened" cracks me up every time
Ah the sweet sweet schadenfreude

I also loved the fan who could be heard screaming “you filthy cheats”, a few moments after the game was confirmed to be over with no score review 😂

That's correct they were from the RCH

 

Youre probably right.

Theyre being used as props. I havent seen the entire presser but i assume they dont take questions from the media gallery. Why are they there. Why not bring in some doctors and nurses while theyre at it..

We could almost pencil the Saints in to make the 8.  They've won four (Freo, WBD, Ess and GCS) and have 2xHawks, 2xNorth, 1xGCS and 1xWCE to go.  A dream fixture!!

Very good chance they will win all those, especially as they get more players back, giving them 10 wins.  Only need to pinch a couple more to make the 8, which may require an 'extra' win than as there are 23 games this season.

Bulldogs are in the thick of the action and are likely to be a good side,  while Freo are talented and could still play finals. I’m not sure I agree that St Kilda  haven’t beat a reasonable side.

Fremantle’s first four games have been terrible. They likely would be 0-4 if West Coast had had a bench to rotate last week. 

I’ll give them the Dogs win but the Dogs in Round 2 were all over the place, absolutely nothing like their more recent fortnight. But Fremantle, Essendon and Gold Coast haven’t exactly set the world on fire so far. It’s been a soft fixture, no matter how much you like St Kilda or are concerned about them beating us.

What you've described is exactly why Carlton are 3rd favourites. They've not played particularly convincingly and are 3 wins and a draw from a reasonably tough opening month. 

Good maturing teams stack wins when they aren't humming, and the Blues are showing some good signs of maturing.

They were easily top 4 on quality last year...as odd as it was for Collingwood to win all those close ones it was equally as odd for Carlton to lose as many close ones as they did. 

They'll be top 4 this year and a serious serious chance. I would not want to play them in a final. If they Breakeven in the middle, Charlie and Harry win them games and pretty much no team can mark them both. Their flanker types are developing around them, and their defence is very good with Weitering and Young taking the next step. 

They have every piece in place IMO and just need to manage their year, manage their timing and find momentum at the right time. Easier said than done but they will be absolutely thrilled to be unbeaten with very little fanfare or noise.  

Agree. They’re undefeated but with room to improve, if I were a Carlton fan I’d be pretty happy with that.

I'll agree when they make the Eight.

 

I really thought that Gold Coast were nothing short of pathetic last night. Not sure how much more we have to put up with these uncompetitive performances but if they say they want to play finals then these are the games you have to win. You can't just gee yourself up for a big one last week and then relax. It's been going on long enough and it's almost curtains in 2023 already for them.

Sounds like Lynch could miss Anzac eve. his bump didn’t look like much on Keath but he was concussed and the Sun are saying ‘big ban’….

He deviated from the marking contest, left the ground, made contact with the player's head, leading to concussion. He has to go for weeks for that.

Turning his body away from the ball looks bad, rub him out.

Didn’t realize Jeremy Finlayson’s wife was so ill. Makes it even better that he kicked the winning goal last night.

Port were also robbed of a goal here 

So the Swannettes have not a leg to stand on

I’m so happy for Jesse, it seems he’s happy at the Giants and playing some decent football.

So much to unpack in so short a period of time. There’s Callum Mills running forward with arms in the air, prematurely celebrating. There’s Buddy straight-up pushing Bergman in the back. And of course, the hand of Aliir like something from the Sistine Chapel majestically punching the ball away, it was almost biblical. 😁 ‘Twas a joy to behold.

Stage 4 aggressive bowel cancer which has now metastasised to her lungs. She likely won’t be around to see their little girl grow up. Grimly puts things in perspective.

SO MUCH TO UNPACK!

The funniest thing about Buddy going right into Bergman's back and falling over is that he cleared room for Alir Alir to come through for the punch. 

For some reason the fans arm pumping up and down that blocks the camera view cos he thinks they are going to win also cracks me up 🤣

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
