For those who have the entire fixture in their heads, whom should I barrack for between Essendon and Cats?  (Assuming I hate them both and fear Geelong a bit more in the finals)

    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. 

    Agree

    Assuming Port lose today

    We'd need to win 6 and they'd need to lose 3

    Won't happen

    Mind you Port also have the game against Adelaide ??

    A draw would be almost perfect

    Port got cocky resting so many players this week. 
    They’ve gone hard early in the season because Hinkley is under so much pressure. But the reality is, it could come back and bite them. July premiers do not September premiers make.

    Essendon have a very soft draw. 

    Correct. 
    Geelong still have to play Brisbane in Brisbane, Port and Pies. If they’re to overtake us we need to lose 2-3 more games and realistically they have to win every game.

    Port could easily lose the next four:

    Carlton - doesn't look good

    Collingwood

    Adelaide

    Geelong - at Deliveranceville

    Cats, then we’d be 2 games clear of 5th.

    I can't believe I am enjoying watching Carlton serve it up to Port. They are doing to Port what we did to the Pies - crowding their wide-playing ball carriers and making them accountable. Pressure really works.

    hedge your bets and just barrack for the draw.

    Carlton fans call insufficient intent for any ball that goes out of bounds. 

    I don't blame them.  The current stupid and inconsistent  'interpretation' is a lottery and you have to buy a ticket to win.

    Port Adelaide showed arrogance and disrespect by dropping seven players in their match with Carlton.

    They might find that their previous good form is not so easy to switch back on.

    I hope Carlton gives them a hiding. Furthermore they deserve to be punished for imposing  that dreadful dirge about being alone.

    Port look second rate. Could it be they got their loading wrong ? They were lucky to win last week against the Bombers as well.. 

    or are they leaving their loading run later…

    At Marvel Stadium now, the Blues are looking like 4 strong wins on the trot ...

    They’ve beaten Gold Coast, Freo and Hawks. Let’s calm down. 
    This is a good win, but Port absolutely cocky to drop this many players for a rest and think they’ll waltz it in. Rubbish call.

    • 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.

    • 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.
