Dan Houston will not play a final this year. At least 4 weeks for that, should be 6

Michael Christian, not the sharpest tool in the shed,  will see the jumper and call it a football act.

 

7.4 to 1.1 that quarter

What a turnaround

if keane wants to leave adelaide to go back to the city of melbourne, i wonder whether he could be part of the package for nibbs?

would allow us to leave petty - jvr - turner as three key forwards, with keane the replacement for plugger mac and, eventually, may

i must admit i'd rather a player than a pick for nibbs

 

Houston may get 5+ weeks for the hit on Rankine. Shoulder made direct contact with the head, no mitigating factors.


What is going through Houston’s mind?

I’m going to the Dees,  actually…I don’t want to go there. Where is Casey anyway? Oh shiitt…hope Izak is alright. One thing is for sure, I’ll be watching the finals on TV. 

This last quarter could be epic in the showdown.

yah, i figure peter wright got 4 so it's probably that

Thinking close to double.

Sitting duck with Houston not protecting himself, just causing maximum damage.

More like Webster?

Didn't jump off the ground and the ball was right there, so not nearly as bad as Webster in pre-season.

Only if JT can call the trade and not Lamb ðŸ¤”


Did anyone see Stewart diving for that free??

[censored] me

pathetic

i thought better of him

As i just tried to explain to my wife

that contest is what makes footy awesome. no other sport in the world has that

One of the great turnarounds of the year


Cats have [censored] the bed and lost a home final 

Could be zero Vic home games in n finals round 1

64 point turn around

what a choke by the Cats

Wow. I just checked some scores 

Brisvegas and Jeeelong Choke

So frustrating we couldn’t sneak into September 

Nobody is a favorite this year…

Footy act, he will get off.

King reckons he might get 8

That seemed a little over the top by King there. Parker got 6 weeks running past the ball and wiping someone out. Houston's action looked more "in play". I'd imagine a 4 to 5 week suspension would be likely.

Silly way to end his Port career. And kissing involvement in finals goodbye too when they're 2nd on the ladder!  Hinkley must be spitting chips.

 

Damn shame Brisb lost.  It let Geel finish in the top 4 and have the double chance.

Poor game by the Cats today but they are always a fearsome team and could easily take out the premiership which imv would be a terrible end to the season.

Dam you daniher. If you kicked that goal you would have put your team up by 23 points.

Unfortunately the filth are still alive.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
