Finish it off suns. Hoping for a swans and Adelaide win and we are doing pretty well for pick 4 and keep top 2 hopes alive.

    If the Suns are ever going to realise their potential, they just have to win this game. 

    Basically the Gold Coast club motto. Except this time... they might yet hold on!

    Is there a way to slip them a note to convince them that percentage matters?

    We’ve managed pretty well without Oliver, but looks like Bears are struggling without Ashcroft.

    Pity. Would have been one of the best coast to coast goals you'll see.

    I played it safe this week after many disappointments by the Suns and Bulldogs/Carlton. I regret it.

    I tipped 9 last week (1st time this year) and found myself equal 1st in my work tipping comp. I caught up 2 points, I’m guessing it was on Pies and Swans. So far facing 0 & 4 but I think most in the same boat.

    Blues without McKay and Walsh

    Freo without Darcy

    GWS continue to surprise, Dogs have been in reasonable form.

    Suns, speechless considering what’s at stake for the Lions.

    Is it just me or have the lions gotten some favourable games tonight that have kept them in it?

    Are you telling me Zorko's not an inspirational leader DD? What drugs are you on?

    I have given up on my tipping comp like 3 rounds ago. Too many risky choices I made during the first 10 rounds.

    GC performance evens makes Kelli Underwoods commentary bearable.

    Sparrow keeps getting called Swallow but it doesn't seem to work the other way 🤔

    I hope we make the most of this opportunity and win big tomorrow.

    We can not only move up to third , but if the Crows beat Port and we keep winning and Port drop one more we could finish second.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
