It is quite a moment when a team has lost 20 games in a row and it is a shock that they are in last place!

    Dwayne Russell just called Jason Horne-Francis the Horn, as in...

    "The Horn is away"

    Please spare me, immediately after telling me what that even means.

    Port have a good record against Brisbane, they wont care if its up there.

    A Freo loss confirms our Pick with either be 4 or 5.

    North now with pick one so it’s a bit irrelevant really. 
    I prefer a Freo win so we are still in the hunt for second spot.

    BEVO SHOULD BE SACKED, NO FRIGGEN IDEA!

    Simpson, apparently they were about or going to sack him.  Then he wins, almost spiteful to take away pick 1 with the win.   Dog's are unbelievable.

    You know the AFL are going to do everything in its power to make sure it’s Collingwood v Melbourne for that first Qualifying final on the Friday Night.

    It will suit us more than going to Brizzie.   We can still finish somewhere between 2 and 4, if port loses today.  If they won,  most likely 4th, Lions should beat saints at the Gabba, locking in 2nd.

    Eagles supporters on Bigfooty are genuinely livid their team won a game of footy.

    One of the worst seasons in living memory and they still won’t get pick 1.

    But they will get the boy they want. Daniel Curtin is an Eagle.

    Yes, but they would far preferred to be able to get an advantage out of trading Pick 1 out. Effectively they now have Pick 3 as Gold Coast are likely to take Jed Walter at 2. In fact it could be worse if the AFL contrive to give North an extra Round 1 pick (Pick 2) as compensation for Ben McKay leaving as a free agent.

    Poor Adelaide. They’d be 9th right now with the best percentage and West Coast next week. Absolutely putrid result for them.

    Theirs was significantly worse than ours. 

    At least in ours there was an ARC review.

    Gutless as it was.

    I hope Hawkins and Dangerfield retire ASAP and we dont see Geelong in the finals for 2 decades plus.

    It wont happen. They have a 100million+ taxpayer funded stadium to themselves. They have a huge home ground advantage all other Vic clubs can only dream of. They can offer established players interstate a lifestyle that gives you both rural and city  social activities  but a cheaper cost of living . They always seem to have connections at AFL HQ. Theyre a media favourite so they dont get attacked relentlessly like Goodwin does.

    Melbourne doesnt even have  permanent training venue. We get almost nothing. Miracle we won a flag. Hopefully more coming.

    Stuff Geelong. I hope they become cellar dwellers.

     

    Don't forget payments from Cotton On. If anyone denies it they are dreaming.

    Imagine if they did and North took Curtin at 2.

    That will not happen now, as AFL have got out of it, as Roos get best player in the country to add to what they already have. Also they need WC to have 2.

    Amazing that 2 weeks in a row a faulty goal umpires call in the last minute changes the finals destiny of 2 teams. 

    The first one, ours,  the soft call was touched when it should been called a goal. The second last night not even reviewed! Intriguing to me that both umpires said  they clearly heard the touch ( hand / goal post) I mean with 50k plus screaming fans (at full voice) and hands and bodies whacking the posts and padding as the pack descends … how the hell can they say that with confidence? No clear deflection in either case so it’s all about the sounds. 

     

    These two decisions are examples of our god forsaken Umpiring Fraternity saying WE GOT THIS, but the sad facts are they haven't got a clue, and this mind you boys is as we go into Finals.

    The darling Media, us and all of this the final fanfare for none other than Gil........ and " i leave the AFL in good hands, a job well done, thanks for the cheque".  Not forgetting of course Racism and Concussion, a couple of little sideliners.

    I think it is still possible for Geelong to finish 9th

    Imagine if Norf also got a priority pick and a NGA pick.

    With picks #1 and #2, effectively the top 4 picks 🤣

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
