Damn. 2nd on the ladder.

Second is just as good as first.

Top 2 gets us MCG finals the entire finals series if we win week 1. And our MCG form has been tremendous so far.

Can’t knock their passion and team spirit. 

Collingwood are like cockroaches. You can't kill them.

Those misses have bitten Adelaide badly and admittedly I only watched the last 10 minutes but Adelaide played that badly. 

When they were a point up they couldn't waste time by chipping it around because Collingwood wouldn't let them but kicking it near the boundary wasn't going to work.

Now they're back on top. Yuck


I’ve been watching footy all my 5 decades, and this is the best last quarter team I’ve ever seen. By a galaxy. They are also currently the best team in the AFL, it’s unarguable. And I hate it. 

 

Crows deserved to lose. Umps did their best for them. Atrocious goal kicking and crumbled in the last quarter. Take nothing away from the pies but that was an embarrassing defeat for the Crows.


It's another great comeback but I'm not sure why it's so surprising. 7 goals 16 doesn't win too many footy games. It was really a detrimental lead.

They might be but they’re certainly beatable. 
We are also currently 7-0 in fourth quarters. 

I hate the filth.


Should have put the game away in the first qrt. Bigger ..experienced players were better in the wet . Adelaide is def a team on the up & let’s see how the Pies go for a long season playing at this level. The one quantity you can’t fault the Pies for & I have to acknowledge is they have always fought to the bitter end & they have enormous belief in each other. They also have a team with a lot of very experienced players ,

The first thing they need to do is look in the mirror. That was a pathetic lack of execution. Not quite the mature threat that people have been talking about, not yet anyway.

Great win, but geez Maynard’s is an average person 

So are half of his teammates. A side full of thugs and criminals, and Moore/Pendles.

He is a meat-head. 

Bugger it. Thought short break would have cost the pies in the last. Crows should have been out of sight before then. Adelaide were poor in the last. 
Pies deserve to be top but they are beatable

They always seem to have more run in their legs in the last quarter. Same as last year.

And they've always got a free man in the right position (in this case through the middle) when they really really need it.

Of course, everyone’s beatable, they’re just the hardest to beat. If it stays that way through September, the flag is theirs.

  • 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.
