    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
