Credit to Fremantle. Not many sides can make Carlton look this good.

    Looking at how this season is playing out there is no way this competition can sustain further expansion. For the good of the game if Tassie is to get a side an existing team must fold.

    Is there anything worse than having a hundred plus thousand Bomber supporters eyeing off our fourth position.

    We'd better win next week for my sanity

    Essingdon won't bea Geelong at Geelong, and they won't beat Collingwood. There's two.

    Why?

    The AFL would be loving how the season is playing out.

    Papalia is the best in the game. Actually tells me what’s happening and not what he had for lunch in 1975 when he also kicked 3 goals. 

    Just need Fox to work this out and give him more games.

    But why when we can have Derwayne calling 3 games a week?

    The marketing department is pumping up that the season is alive for so many teams but realistically we know that’s not the case. As much as a lot of people want the Suns to fold it will never happen IMO. Best case scenario is for North to fold and Tassie becomes the 18th team.

    Yep fair enough. We all see things differently and I am probably in the minority but I hope both GWS and GC turn into popular teams. And I love the fact Tasmania are getting their own team, I don’t agree with them having to spend a billion dollars on a stadium though.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
