Hardly seems fair that Harley Reid should be punished.

Just saying on Fox that the Hawks are going to lose their first draft pick over the investigation into Clarkson. Something about bringing the game into disrepute . I take it I heard that right, was not really paying attention.

    Can't imagine this being the case but would certainly add another layer to the freo death ride.

    damian barrett at afl pravda has been saying the same for a while, so presumably that's the word coming down from on high, and they're preparing and 'conditioning' the public to expect it

    Dees had a loss, and now Collingwood are on the TV.

    I’m predicting a lot of ‘Collingwood will kill us’ posts coming up.

    the filth are the most in-form team in the competition and are - disgustingly - fantastic to watch

    BUT

    since they last made a grand final in 2018 it is melbourne with 3 finals win and a premiership to the filth 2 finals wins and no grand final

    as we saw in 2022, great form in the home and away will count for nothing without making it count in september

    You have to find an extra 20% we all know we have that but do the Pies.

    Don't mine the Pies Indigenous Jumper. hate the Blues one. 

    As a working full time visual artist, with a background in design, most of the indigenous jumpers suffer from way too much going on, and a distinct lack of clarity and purpose.

    Just for context - Freo’s jumper was designed in conjunction with Alex Pearce, who is from Tassie. So Fremantle’s jumper literally had a map of Tassie on it. 

    I really hope some of the clubs start going for one symbol. There’s heaps of cool First Nations visual language (hello Devil Snake). Be great to see it applied more confidently and with more clarity, and not just filling every literal centimetre of the jumper.

    Jesus Christ West Coast are an embarrassment 

    Hunt must be wondering what black cat he killed in his past life to go from Melbourne to this rubbish.

    Agree, some are just to busy which is why I love the Saints one this year.

    I reckon there is a good chance they can go undefeated all the way until end of Sept. nobody can seem to match it with them.

    Considering Carlton probably needed an 8 goal lead at three quarter time to be a chance today it's not looking good so far.

    Looks like Harley Reid will be spending a season at West Coast before choosing where he wants to play

    Just hand Collingwood the flag now. Going to be another grand final massacre for the third year in a row.

    The only club that could remotely challenge them on GF day is Brisbane or possibly Geelong if they come home like a freight train.

    • PREVIEW: 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.
