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

they'll trade with Hawthorn/North for a first and second. Would you want to play for North though?

    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.

    As a comms professional and speechwriter who sees the same in the word-world, I empathise with you and commend this approach.

    West Coast must really rate Harley Reid!!

    Or perhaps they’re happy to take 3 first round picks off our hands.

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

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

    Well if you put our Friday night form against how the filth are playing right now, they would [censored] on us from a very great height.

    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.

    Think I heard something similar last year about round 10

    lots can happen between now and September.

    How long before Harley Reid asks for a trade home? 

    WC might try to split pick 1 and use their picks on the best WA talent

    Looks like a training drill for Pies.

    They're plating well but Carlton look terrible.

    The only way Collingwood loses this year is if they're having an off day and the opposition is switched on. They're in second gear here and comfortably beating Carlton.

    I can handle losing to Collingwood. But losing to Freo and Carlton would be disastrous.

    And that's what I have been saying, our game plan will be ripped to shreds by this mob, but they are beatable it's just the way you go about it.

    I know this will come across as incredibly defeatist, but I rather not make a grand final, than make one and lose to the Pies.

    I'm sorry I know they have injuries but for WC to only kick 4 goals, that is a disgrace. It's not like they were playing Collingwood or Brisbane. They were playing hawthorn

    Many said the same thing about us in round 10 last year.

    I’m with you.

    They have the potential to absolutely scar a fellow grand finalist for years to come, per GWS, Sydney, Port (2007)

    game over 

    The Blues are not the real deal. Doubt they’ll make finals 

    really expected a better effort from them

    Pies applying full ground pressure like Cats of last year and us of 21. It's a simple game but obviously the biggest challenge lies in getting 23 blokes on board to work at that rate week in week out. Cats have dropped it off a bit and come back to the pack much like us.

    Who's going to be able to throw the kitchen sink at the Pies this year? Not seeing a likely contender yet...

    Carlton have no defensive structure. Pies very good but oppo teams seem to buy into the media fawning and are beaten before the game starts.

    This is a Carlton side that has come out to make a statement. Spent the week talking about themselves. sitting at 11th at the moment.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
