Right now it’s looking highly likely that Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon will be in finals. That’s a very depressing thought, unless you’re the AFL.

    Perfect timing for Richmond to bottom out now and get 2-3 years of early draft picks before Tassie come in. 
     

    In terms of list ages as of this year…

    Pies are the oldest.

    Geelong comes in second oldest.

    Dees are third oldest. 

    Brisbane and Richmond equal fourth.

    I'm not convinced by the bombers just yet.

    They've won against Hawks, Saints (4points), Bulldogs, Adelaide (3points), West Coast (6points) and now GWS. They've also drawn with Collingwood but they're not the same team as last year, not yet at least. Apart from GWS it's far from a convincing form line.

    I am not convinced nor do I want to be on Essendon but three of their next five games are against the Roos, Richmond and West Coast in Melbourne. It’s going to have to be some collapse to see them miss finals, which would be glorious to watch.

    Agree - but their scheme of arrangement draw, as an understatement, is favorable.

    Is David Roden the happiest goal umpire in the AFL ?

    No - its probably Roman Polanski due to extradition treaties. But David runs a respectable second.

    I don’t how the Saints are avoiding the blow torch. Pathetic effort

    Another rebuild?

    Id prefer Hawks list over theirs

    A short history of the saints since 1896.

    Millionaires, who had some success in fantasy footy comps, come in and run the joint. Except running an AFL club there are real consequences and less beer. The club drafts a hotshot player who once kicked 10 goals in a Frankston game. He fires in his first game against a team who hasn’t won since the flip phone era. The phrase "He’s our future" and "generational talent" is repeated so often it might as well be tattooed on the coaches forehead.

    I get that we all hate Essendon but you have to give them a lot of credit for their win over a massive contender in GWS.

    And they’ve kept us the top 4 which was nice of them.

    peptides will trouble us as well - their game style disrupts the approach that the likes of us, gw$, the filth etc. all have in terms of executing ball movement

    annoyingly, the scott twins are very good at that coaching caper

    Geelong have been cleared of breaching AFL medical protocols, despite the Cats revealing on Saturday that key forward Jeremy Cameron had been diagnosed with delayed concussion from a heavy head knock on Friday night.

    Cameron was allowed to play out Friday night’s clash against Port Adelaide after landing heavily during a marking contest and slamming his head into the GMHBA Stadium turf.

    But the big Cat reported concussion symptoms during tests on Saturday morning and will miss next Thursday night’s clash against Gold Coast in Darwin.

    Several commentators questioned why Cameron was not taken from the ground on Friday night after he landed on his side and banged his head on the ground in a whiplash motion at the nine-minute mark of a tense last quarter

    He lay on his back after the fall, holding his head, before clambering to his feet to take part in the next stoppage.

    Geelong medical staff spoke to Cameron on the ground, but the club said on Saturday that he had passed a head injury assessment.

    Geelong said Cameron was allowed to play out the final nine minutes of the match, in which the Cats lost by a goal, because he did not report any symptoms and had satisfied all AFL requirements.
     

    An AFL spokesperson said the league’s medical experts had discussed the incident with Geelong doctors on Saturday morning and were comfortable that Cameron had been managed within the league’s concussion guidelines.

    The spokesperson said medical spotters in the ARC had alerted Geelong doctors to Cameron’s fall shortly after the incident, but in the absence of “probable motor incoordination or no protective action” immediate removal of the player for a sport concussion assessment test (SCAT6) was not mandated.

    The heavy nature of Cameron’s fall on Friday night, prompted Seven commentator Brian Taylor to say during his call: “He gave his head a real good banging. I reckon the doctors will look at that.”

    Fellow commentator Matthew Richardson then added: “As soon as you stay still on the ground for a couple of seconds, that’s a trigger.”

    Seven boundary rider Abbey Holmes was shocked that Cameron was not taken to the boundary for tests.

    “Jeremy Cameron is staying out on the ground,” Holmes said. “It didn’t look good, did it? With his head heavily making contact with the ground.”

    The Geelong doctor barely even questioned Cameron.  Twice he was waived away and walked off.  Barely 15 seconds of discussion on field.  Cameron had to be withdrawn for HIA. His head hit the ground really hard.  I think the AFL has again shown little regard for their own AFL “strict” protocols. Last year Port was fined $100,000.   The Cats again have to be laughing at the AFL.

    The Bulldogs are 11th but have outscored their opponents by 25% more than Essendon, who are 3rd.

    From Footscray Bulldogs to Flatrack Bullies?

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
