How gratifying it was to see Demon Sam Weideman top scoring for the Bombers with two of their three goals. Imagine what it would have looked like without his contribution

    They were saying we are a chance to play Collingwood on the Thursday night but what happens if we cop a concussion tomorrow that’s only 11 days so they wouldn’t be able to play hopefully if that did happen the afl wouldn’t schedule us on that day same goes for Carlton and gws

    This is like a 2 week bye with all these irrelevant games.

    AFL are lucky they have no real competition other than B grade movies

    PS: Gil etc will be thinking... imagine the excitement if 9 and 10 if not 11 and 12 were eligible for wild card play offs

    Whately brought this up on SEN this morning.

    I think his words were we'd tear the house down if say Gawn, Trac etc got concussed tomorrow and missed first final due to 12 day break.

    Gil's got and getting a lot wrong so wouldn't surprise me, but we'll know 9.00 pm-. ish tomorrow.

    Whateley also reckons Friday is the best day for such a final - Pies vs Dees anyway.

    I think of a Thursday final is on the cards it should not be allocated to the team with the minor premiership. And just on this, these things should not be made up on the fly.

    Go Norff !   lol

    Thursday night QF is absurd. Is it BS or a strong rumour. Presumably  Friday is a working day.  ffs

    If a key Melb player is concussed those dummies at AFL HQ better not shaft us. Of  course Carlton will have nothing to worry about their game will be 13 or 14 days out.

    Pert better get on top of this before those AFL exec morons schedule the QF's.

    Goody was clearly wrong about Maginness wanting the ball, he has racked up the possies, getting his first and only one, 30 seconds before halftime.

    If it’s Us against Pies, why would you schedule it before a school/ work day?

    It would be biggest game of the 4.

    That's rubbish, Carlton the AFL darlings get the Friday night?

    It doesn't make sense to have a Carlton v GWS/Sydney on the Friday when the Melbourne v Collingwood is more attractive.

    We should get the Friday night, they can give the Thursday night to one of the EF.

    GC by 6 points at the half.  A few scuffles as well.  I give Norf a chance

    As mentioned above as much and as I don't like Cwood, it's the team that finishes on top of the table that should get the Friday slot .

    If West Coast own pick 1 again, would pick 5 plus extras be enough for Reid? If we can get 4 off suns then maybe?? I'm torn about what result I want now.

    Imagine the excitement if Melbourne and Adelaide hadn't lost due to AFL incompetence and there was more clubs fighting for a spot in the 8 and other clubs jostling for position.........but hey, why fix the problem in front of you when you can distract people and create another.

    That’s something to worry about after we win the flag, Nasc

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
