    Pendlebury has been a great player. 400 games is an amazing achievement.

    And he played well tonight. i reckon he'll go around again.

    Carlton & Collingwood both missing the 8 is the dream scenario. Step in the right direction tonight Landers. Let's get something out of this season!

    That sucks. I see Darcknee Moore managed to get a knee into a Carlton bloke’s ribs there in the last minutes. Can someone line him up in our last game please.

    Nah that honour I’m reserving to junior boxing champion Jake Melksham when he decides to call it a day.

    If only carlton could kick straight 

    Nah, bugger them.
    Hawks could kick them out of the 8 next week by beating them.

    Quite happy with that result. Blues now a game and a half out of the top four if Brisbane win tomorrow. Important since they have WC away and St.K to finish their season. If Hawthorn lose tomorrow but beat Carlton the following week they could both end up miss finals. Along with Essendon, Collingwood and of course rock bottom Richmond. How sweet.

    I cannot fathom what has happened to Sydney. 

    Come on carlton break the pies fans hearts

    Why? Carlscum are the most despicable team and it’d be good to see them fall out of the eight soon. Colonwood are finished for this year anyway.

    Get your mojo back, beat the filth & knock there final chances out of the park.

    That's all you need to do

    Wow. Horrible game but brilliant last quarter. Was pulling hard for Carlton, needed that to stay top 3 in tipping, I am now bundled out to 4th and the non prize money position.

    Ouch, ouch, ouch.

    Grundy has really struggled the last few weeks.  Interesting they brought Ladhams in.  He was hopeless too but might indicate the workload has got the better of Grundy.  He looks the bog average player he did with us last year.

    Although If the Pies win, it would be funny to see the Swans only two points inside the top 4. This season producing Maximum chaos.

    If you have Carlton, Hawthorn, Collingwood and Essendon all missing finals...you must have us making it. Can't work otherwise.

    FWIW Carlton's last two games should mean they can't miss, as that's enough to get them to 14 even if they lose to Hawthorn.

    Hawthorn have to beat at least one of GWS and Carlton and then they will get to 14 given they have the bottom 2 in their final fortnight.

    GWS remains at most risk of being the side Hawthorn passes. They can beat Hawthorn tomorrow and still miss as they close with Brisbane, Fremantle and the Dogs. No guarantee to win any of those, so even with a win tomorrow they'd stall at 13.

    If you are still playing at home, I think possibly our only realistic path to finals now is for us to take GWS' spot, which requires this:

    1. We win all three (obviously) (gets us to 13)
    2. Hawthorn loses to both GWS and Carlton and take a percentage beating, such that we finish the season above them on percentage at 13-10
    3. GWS loses its other three games (Brisbane, Fremantle, Dogs) and sheds enough percentage for us to pass them, also at 13-10
    4. Collingwood loses to at least one of Sydney and Brisbane (they'd cap out at 12)
    5. Essendon loses at least two of Sydney, Brisbane and Fremantle (they'd cap out at 12.5)

    • 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.
