Hawthorn are going to be a huge challenge next week.

They will be.

And a big factor is we will struggle to come up from last nights game such was it's intensity. 

I'm glad the Hawks have travel, and one less day to recover.

They will look to to to us exactly what they did to the Pies - run us of our feet

    Port probably have second locked up, and the all important home final, if they can beat Freo on the road next week.

    That would be crud apples.

    Look, no one wants to hear it now, but this Port game is why we shouldn’t sell games to NT. Why would we give up home ground advantage in such a tight race? Lost that by less than a goal. If that was 4 points we are second.

    Its a losing mentality selling games.

    Yeah it’s definitely not a football first decision by our club.

    Hopefully we get rid of it some time in the near future.

    We've dropped a few too many games against top 8 teams in close margins that we should have won.

    Another soft call of a goal.

    Watching the Richmond game and they took 90 seconds to decide if Riewoldt took a mark on the line or not.

    Last night they made a game deciding call in 35 seconds.

    If we can win one of the next two, we will have a home final against the Pies without Nick and a double chance.

    That’s probably our best result at this stage.

    How ironic would it be for finishing 4th being the best option?

    "INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE!!"

    - as per... every. time.

    The umpires are exonerated for their decision making.

     

    Jonno Ralph - letting us all know that the AFL have 'ticked off' the decision on Petracca's non goal last night... FMD.

    100% agree now.

    Probably good to see the Lions beat Collingwood next week just to dent Collingwood’s confidence and form further, and Port winning at least the same number as us after today.

    We will beat Collingwood in a qualifying final at the MCG. We would be underdogs in the other games. 
     

    If we did finish 4th, the loser of that match (1st v 4th) will probably end up playing Carlton at the MCG the following week. Still would prefer that situation as I’m confident we’d beat Collingwood.

    And with Moore maybe touch and go.

    Just need to get it done against the Hawks then we can do whatever we need to against the Swans to get the final match up we want.  The exact reason why all last round games should be played at the same time.

    Hopefully not season deciding!

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
