Captain’s challenge time.
I want to see how the AFL tick this one off 

Excellent idea, as long as it is restricted to one challenge for game-changing moments.

 

That is utterly disgraceful; I’m [censored] and mad and as a mad Demons fan really don’t care. This one likely to be “the straw that broke the camels back”.

Well I am just happy Geelong lost and will not make the 8. Excellent. 

As for peeing and moaning about the Adelaide goal I am glad they lost. Their supporters are an incredible pack of [censored] and they can rot down the bottem end of the ladder for ever.

Yes some good came out of today’s results, Cats, Crows and Bombers not playing finals.

However there is usually bad as well and that’s Blues win over Suns by 4 points, courtesy of Curnow and again poor umpiring.

You don't mind when games are decided by objectively incorrect umpiring calls?

Once again crucial results decided by goal umpires being piled on by 9 players and goal line technology proudly brought to you by Nokia 3310 

Nokia 3310?  No. Surely Kodak Box Brownie.

Longmire said Papley had tightness in his hamstring. Lets hope it keeps him out next week.

..... alternatively, he plays and twangs it at the first contest.

I'd rather hope we clinch fourth spot tomorrow and can give Max, Viney, Oliver and Petracca plenty of resting time on the bench next week in a match where the result probably won't matter much for us.

Tom McCartin might miss with suspension for bump on McAdam.

 

There's a chance next weeks game will became the "Who Wants A Home Final Cup" they might be playing for 6th spot and we might still have a chance "small now" for 2nd.

There was still 1:18 left. If keys goal was paid then Sydney still would have had time to score. And they may have.

Nicks is right though. The first half cost them where they played terribly. They also kicked 4-8 in that final quarter

I just want him to miss because he's a pain in the backside 

Went to the game with some Crows mates and were right behind the Keys shot. On my kids life that was a goal and can't believe it was not reviewed. The level of incompetency is a joke.

This is all correct.

Although it's fair to note Sydney kicked 0.1 in the last quarter. The odds of them finding a goal in the last minute were low.

There's no doubt that if that had happened to us the overwhelming majority view on here would be that we were denied a win. You only have to look to last week.

It will happen in a Final…

Only against Melbourne. Like last week.

Yes, he's a bit of a show-off but he's also a livewire who would bring some fizz to our up-and-down forward line. Some pretty grubby characters in AFL history have also been fantastic players. Luckily we have the mighty Max, who sets our standards for both character and performance..

Is it right to criticise the ARC for this one?  
The umpire didn’t send it for review.  100% on the goal umpire.

  • REPORT: 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.

  • 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.
