Life as a Freo supporter must be great for Perth Physiologists. Thought they would be a threat this season.

    Carlton has a lot to play for. Eagles don’t. 

    They still couldn’t play any worse. 

    Never even had an attempted scoring shot all quarter.

    Don't know if anyone has raised this but the way the Blues are despatching WC they are putting finals out of reach for Collingwood.

    We would have to lose by something like 150 points for the filth to make up the percentage gap they now face...and that ain't happening.

    I think West Coast need to handball it more , particularly to players under more pressure. Regretting changing my tip just before the game.

    If I've read the ladder correctly, Fremantle make the eight if they beat Port next week and any of Carlton (v St Kilda), Hawthorn (v North) or Footscray (v GWS) lose.  They're in with a show but have to win to be any chance.

    This is very impressive by carlton. Basically a makeshift forward line & a captain who is making sure his team get over the line

    Freo finals chance… 30%

    Has it been said that West Coast were bookies favourites in this game?

    Would be ironic if Carlton miss the finals in the last round again, once is bad enough.

    I’m calling it: Collingwood have missed finals.

    If the Blues pile on some more goals in the last quarter, it will probably seal Collingwood's fate 😃

    Wow. I just checked some scores 

    Brisvegas and Jeeelong Choke

    So frustrating we couldn’t sneak into September 

    Nobody is a favorite this year…

    How Fagan continually puts up with that perenial big game choker in ERIC HIPWOOD Bafles me. Until they banish him and a few others who choke in big games, they will go nowhere

    Collingwood's fate is sealed already.   They're gorn, as their current premiership price of $501 would indicate.

    As disappointing as it is to see Carlton win they have at least made it virtually impossible for Collingwood to squeeze into a finals position now. Also, even a win against St.K next week is likely see the Blues travel to the Gabba for an elimination final.

    Ballarat and MARS stadium are getting a very important footy match next week with huge ramifications for many teams.

    And for the AFL they have hit the nail on the head in terms of suspense with a SUPER SUNDAY.

    •Dogs v Giants

    •Carl v StK

    •Frem v Port

    Cripps has been outstanding, but The Eagles have been embarrassingly bad. Their kicking efficiency is unbelievably poor.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
