Not really. We end up in second on the ladder to finish the round while pick 4 from Freo is still in play.

Hey you're dead right! Thought we lost 2nd for a moment

    Brisbane celebrating like they just won a grand final. Embarrassing. 

    A great result. We are ahead of Brisbane AND Freo stuck in bottom 4. 
    Jackson embarrassing in that quarter. 

    Jackson played his heart out, entitled to show a little fatigue in the end. Embarrassing is not the right comment.

    He was soft. For a guy earning more than Gawn, he needed to do more.

    He did not go hard enough in a few critical contests in the last and fumbled at crucial times. He was very good early but he had a terrible last quarter. 
    He was also rucking against Daniher who is not a great ruckman. 
     

    I bet you scream for ANB to be dropped when he fumbles 🙄

    Coming of age performance really, gave Fort plenty to think about.

    A draft pick is a lottery. Look at Bowey and Laurie. One pick apart.

    Going a game clear of an interstate team in 2nd when we are massively in contention is worth a lot more than pick 4 vs pick 5.

    I want Freo to win. Draft picks mean a lot less to me than multiple home finals.

    No-one's arguing that.
    But 2nd spot is ours to keep ..... If we're good enough.

    The other thing to consider is if Collingwood lose two of the final three games. Both we and Brisbane could overtake them

    I would have preferred a Fremantle win today but there are 2 consolations: a better draft pick for Melbourne and a small winnning nargin for Brisbane (which might be meaningful in the push for 2nd position). 2.5 games clear of 5th and surely we'll win at least 1 of 3. We need to knock off Carlton next Saturday and finalise the Top 4 (if not their order)!

    I think the Crows are a chance to knock off the Lions next week - Even though it’s at the Gabba, they are trying to get into the 8. 

    Here's hoping. Would be the best thing ever.

    Daicos out for 6 weeks with a hairline fracture 

     

    Could have been worse. They might have ruled him out for 4 to 6 weeks and that would have been curtains for 2023.

    McRae's press conference was par for the course. He's always a little twitchy, it's just his way. You're all just looking for cracks way too hard. 

    Pies players were laughing on the bench with 30 seconds to go. This won't hurt them - I'm in zero doubt they're loading, for no other reason than they can afford to. Top spot is theirs. They know they've beaten anyone on their day and can win from 5 goals down consistently. 

    Sorry to burst the bubble, but they're absolutely primed and this loss is doing nothing other than enhancing their priming. 

    Will be beyond surprised if they don't make the grand final. 

    Is this satire?

    Have I missed talk of Match Review for the Blanck hit on N.Daicos? Late, front-on no eyes for the ball, caused serious injury - must get weeks IMHO.

    I thought the same thing ... to me the Hawthorn player deliberately took Daicos out and should have been cited for unduly rough play.  2-4 weeks penalty

    But because Daicos was contesting the mark, head contact was unlikely.  Are the AFL so head conscious that they let this incident go?  And are we going to see a glut of these sorts of incidents (if a player can get away with it)

    The other standout out feature of the weekend was West Coast not flooding back to protect a slender lead in the last couple of minutes of the game

    There's no truth in the rumour that certain members of the Eagles hierarchy went from ashen-faced to rosey-cheeked once the Bombers scored to gain the lead.  It's just another wacky conspiracy theory Sarcastic Joke GIF

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
