Seeing so many reprobates in the crowd enjoying themselves is putting me off my dinner.

    Who wants to be the first to say go Bombers and get put in their place?

    Why is this game at the MCG?

    Bulldogs played at Marvel a bit earlier? Or does that not normally matter?

    Yeah not sure how many hours are needed between games at the same venue. But seeing Essendon and Carlton both playing home games at the MCG versus interstate teams makes me angry.

    Is Daicos that good? Is he better than the Bont or Dawson or Butters right now? Is he just racking up cheap possessions of half back? I have no doubt he uses it well but is he rightfully the Brownlow favourite? I personally don’t think he’s the best player in the game.

    The best player in the game doesn’t always win the Brownlow, Oliver is a prime example of that. Daicos x 2 are both guns.

    They never usually play 2 games at the same venue on the same day outside of gather round or emergencies.

    So if the Bombers win tonight, it doesn’t bode well for the AFL in fixturing integrity where all teams off the bye lose against a non bye team.
     

    With so much other inequity, this just adds another dimension.

    I’d say 90% of Brownlow’s won since the 80’s haven’t been won by the best player in the game.

    Carey, Ablett Snr, Matthews. It’s an incredible list.

    At least their seconds are flying the flag, a white flag but a flag never the less.May be an image of text that says 'Full Time East Fremantle 215 West Coast WAFL 31 Q1 Q2 11.3 Q3 Q4 18.8 26.14 0.1 33.17 1.3 3.5 4.7'

    And yet they still can’t get to 186 😂

    Just send them to Tasmania and keep the competition at 18 teams.

    No doubt because Essendon requested it.

    Weids looking good this quarter. Running back with the ball and halving contests.

    I was complaining earlier about Essendon playing a home game at the MCG. Now that it’s flogging down rain I am not so upset. Just need Port to win now.

    Have these umpires ever ever played the game - zero feel of the game calling that deliberate (5;00 to go Q3).

    Pissing with rain, off balance - about 50 cm from the line.  Absurd

    ANG13 - I am a bit conflicted re tonight's result.

    It is looking more and more like 4th is the best we can expect, so having cocky Collingwood at 1 would be way better than Port.  Would far prefer Collingwood at the G than Port over there.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
