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?

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
