Absolutely soft free kick to Collingwood in front of goal for their first, halfway through the 2nd qtr

Didn't know where to put this, here is as good as any.....as good as last night was and yes we are on top of the ladder, a little reality check may be required.

We have played one team in the current top 8.

That’s true, but the Dogs and Sydney are better than their current ladder position - or in Sydney’s case, were at the time we played them. 

But yes, Collingwood, Port Adelaide, Adelaide and Geelong will all be tougher tests than most of our last month of footy.

Flat track bullies.

Cant understand why the umpires celebrate those numpties  except The Bont. Top 5 player in Afl.

Easily top 5, maybe even top 3

I'll tune in tomorrow to see what Kane Cornes and Matthew Lloyd say. They generally have 15 players each in his top 3-5 in the comp.

This could be the perfect day with Richmond, Essendon & Collingwood losing 

What’s that I hear? Someone prematurely writing off Collingwood?

Come back to me at the end of the game.

Cheer up, two more teams are outside the 8 because we played them. :laugh:

They will be tough but I reckon we are finding a groove and expect us to be competitive at the very least. I thought the attitude last night was exemplary of how we need to play against those sides.

There was a 10 minute patch where the umpiring was killing the Pies v Crows match. But it has turned into a craacker of a game now.


Adelaide are good but if you keep missing easy opportunities in front of goal Collingwood will make you pay. 

Pies are an excellent contest team with Sidebum, de Goey, Crisp, Mitchell, etc.


Suns winning is a great result for us death riders. Confident that Richmond are a better team than Freo and we really want Freo to finish below the Suns. 👏

Also takes the pressure off the Suns coming into next week against us. 

ABC commentators lamenting draw with Tigers, Pies, Druggies not going so well after 5 day break. 
 

We got North. 
Maybe we should play Essendon and Pies v Tigers either side of Anzac Day short breaks.

Flip side of that is it gives them a bit of confidence before our game.
Also no way we take them lightly now considering Richmond gave us a good game last week.

Tigers had six day break.

What the squelch just happened at half time of Pies-Crows?

Noble obviously slipped down to deliberately draw a high contact, but Dawson then clearly caught him 'actually' high, Rankine decides he needs to prove to the world he's a git by running over to shove Noble while he's lying flat, and then Maynard comes in and has some kind of epileptic fit while holding Rankine's collar.

Bizarro juvenile times all round.

 

You can add Richmond to the list of teams not winning the week after playing us.

  • 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.
