Bombers putting up a decent fight tonight but Swans will run it out in the last. 

Ben McKay is possibly the most overpaid footballer in AFL history. VFL standard yet on over 700k a year!

    Grundy played his best game in round zero. Not so much from him tonight so far.

    Ben McKay, just wow.  Can't believe the roos got away with pick 3 for him. Highway robbery.

    Will laugh if the roos overtake essendon at the end of the year.

    Solid win by Sydney. Apart frrom Wright I wonder if they will look at Heeney for his "slap" on Hinds. Probably not as he is one of the protected ones.

    Definitely not. They have some young A listers and a good coach.

    I can't get a handle on Freo. In 2022 it looked like they were on the way to battling for a top 4 spot in 2023 but it's been all downhill

    Freo's list does not have near enough quality or depth.

    They used a lot capital on Jackson.

    Jackson will be a good investment long-term, he's a gun - and should really be pushing for AA this year given his age and development.

    But they had a gun ruck and in the now, needed some class mids and quality key defenders more than a ruck forward who isn't a natural forward, or a one grabber for that matter.

    Not sure about Fremantle's depth.

    Yesterday was only North but they were missing Chapman, Cox, Darcy, O'Driscoll and O'Meara, plus OMac and Worner who played last week, plus a few others (e.g. Corey Wagner and Ethan Stanley).

    Perhaps against a better side they wouldn't have won but they're 2-0 with quite a lot of talent to come back.

    And I wholly disagree that they "need" key defenders. Their best 22 defence is top 4 quality.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
