They definitely overachieved last year, they are still middle of the pack.

That's being generous. Will finish 14th after this round and will be lucky to win three more for the year. Up until about three weeks ago had a great run with the least injuries. Pains me we lost to them but we have at least taken a couple of top teams .

    I mean that they are still far off becoming a serious premiership contender. I believe people in WA drank their own bathwater and really thought they were a chance, just get one unicorn!

    Suns had the chance to take a stranglehold in the first quarter but lousy "connection" has left the door open.

    Saints next 4 games at Marvel. How many games do they play there? Seems they’re there most weeks. 

    They play their next 5 at Marvel !

    They're bog ordinary cant even get into the game against the Suns. Most likely team to drop out of the 8. Only still in it because of their soft fixture.

    Top 2 is out of our reach barring upsets. We also have to win every game. 

    I disagree if Port drop today they are in a little bother.

    Even if they lose today they could only lose 2 more (Geelong and Collingwood). Unless they drop another and we win all our games we can’t mathematically catch them. 

    Our chance is small and we can only blame ourselves but the Local Derby is always a 50/50 game no matter which team is  sitting where on the ladder. Happy if we can just win our last six and sit back and watch.

    Unlikely they drop out of the top 2 but I think the showdown could go either way and GWS may push them as well.

    Can see a dip in performance from them after 13 straight wins, teams can rarely sustain it.

    • 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.
