How nice to be sitting out in the sunshine at the footy. 

As opposed to the freezing night last night 

It wasn’t actually cold at all

    Weid with 2 goals.

    I get that Essendon’s defence is EDFL division 3 standard this afternoon but Geelong’s potency will be a concern at the business end of the year. 64 points half way through the second quarter.

    Live ladder;

    Essendon now out of the 8.

    Good times.

    They're already organising a 10 year reunion for the guys that played in their first six games.

    I may be the odd one out but I’d rather Geelong fall of the face of the earth… as opposed to the Bombers.

    Terrible from the bombers. Cats doing as they please.

    Will be interesting to watch Collingwood and see if it’s a reflection on the short turn around.

    I reckon Weid looks better on the Wing  at Essendon. 
    Didn’t mind him there with us. Less pressure/contest.

    We talk about us needing to capitalise on our list and win multiple flags while we can.... This should be said about Geelong far more than us. There probably hasn't been a better key forward pairing than Hawkins & Cameron in the last 200 years. Throw in all time great/club legends Dangerfield, Stewart, Duncan and a team full of fantastic role players with the best home ground advantage in the league - if they don't win at least 2 before Hawk retires it's a huge failure. 

    Curnow and McKay can be this good too, but they're early-mid 20s and need to prove themselves over the long haul, which both Hawkins and Cameron have already done. 

    As close to a cheat code as you'll ever see at the professional level

    I agree - that combo is quite lethal if age wasn’t a factor  would you prefer a Hawk/ Cameron duo over  centreline?

    How do the Geelong forwards constantly get away with clear and blatant pushing in the back?

    The answer should be obvious really. #integrity

    Zerk is giving away at least 15kg to Hawk

    not even a contest

    this is hilarious. Geelong up by 40 in the first Q can’t put away the bombers off a 5 day break

    Gold Coast are on

    Tigers look horrible 

    early days but still

    Cats definitely going to be very hard to beat.  Scoring power and plenty of options.  Hawkins and Cameron are immense.  
     

    Bombers effective with skills through the inside through the corridor.  Cats defence is elite and (alert to Goody), if you go wide and restrict options, they can shut you down.  Dees skills and one grab footy will be tested.  
     

    Cats, Pies, Lions and Demons are the best 4 in my view.

    Well done to weid. 5 goals.

    Geelong probably should won by more but hey it's another Essendon loss.

    Over to you now Adelaide.

    Oh and go gold coast

    Gee this Tiger Sun game is a poor standard. 

    Chol is a terrible player.

    Dusty Martin ... 'don't argue' ... pushed an opponent in the neck. No free kick ... of course.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
