Sudden death Hawks vs Dogs at the MCG in their current form is peak footy IMO. Deserves 90,000+ 

Hoping for Giants to win the flag so I’d be happy if they won along with Brisbane and the Dogs. I hate Port and Geelong equally. It will be funnier if Port lose so I guess go Cats.

    Pick of the games is easily Hawks v Dogs

    Worst quality Qualifying finals I can recall

    The scheduling is absolutely ridiculous in week 1. 

    Why would you put dogs v hawks on the Friday night when the dogs womens team play their 1st home game at written oval. Apparently the dogs raised this point.

    Then put sydney v giants on a Saturday afternoon? Put the sydney game in prime time Friday night in the sydney market.  The minor premiers deserved better.

    Plus the dogs v hawks sat arvo at the G would have been great.

    What a complete joke. 

    How can you not hate this corrupt organization?

    It really makes me question why I waste my hard earned money on this game.

    I've often half joked on the podcast about getting the soapy water out at training to assist in training for wet conditions and i've often wondered whether training at night to simulate playing at night would be a benefit. The Hawks did just that in the lead up to only their 2nd night game this season.

    I’m picking Geelong as they always seem to perform when it matters, then as much as I dislike the club, I love the way this Hawthorn team plays their footy, so I’m tipping them over the Doggies.

    I love the way that GWS play (like the Hawks, they play an exciting brand of footy), but I fear the Swans will get over them in a very close game.  Brisbane will destroy a very under strength Carlton.

    As I've said it's a shame dogs v hawks is an elimination final. They are the 2 exciting teams  currently playing the best footy.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
