Not sure Yze will survive another wooden spoon season unless their board are honest about where they are at.  Max of 2 wins next year for the Tigers and maybe the year after. They haven't hit bottom yet

    Their supporters are very understanding of where they are at. It's best to bottom out now and collect a draft bounty. Wait too long, and Tassie will ruin your chances of a rebuild.

    This is the best possible time to bottom out.

    that’s what we thought in 2011. 😋

    good that their fans are on board but no way a coach can survive 3-4 years of being bottom. The next coach will take advantage of his good work

    Owies would be a fair trade for Doedee in Portuguese.

    I think we might assume Tomlinson will now be a Saint.

    Yes, Dees will help the Saints and take a future 4th round as trade.  Rather than dilute Saints free agent compo.  We are a nice club

    I hope you are joking, norm.  That should give us a better hand at trade if they want to keep the compo undiluted, maybe even a second rounder, for example, or he can go UFA and impact their compo pick……

    if they get him as a delisted free agent does that dilute their compensation for battle?

    Rioli for picks 6 and 20.

    When the Tiges were flying he struck me as about tenth in their best 22.

    Suns have so much draft capital it's scary

    That is serious overs for mine.

    A month ago this guy expressed frustration and eye rolled at questions about leaving, saying he was absolutely staying at WCE. Geez, would be nice of players to not blatantly lie about these things more often

    No way he goes close to that

    if pick 6 is involved, the Tigers will need to send pick 19 back the other way i reckon

    Just to be clear, the AFL stewards would not let JJ onto the field for the GF as Harmes' 'cramp' was not considered to be an injury

    However May had a hamstring tear so could and should have come off the ground once we were well in front

    True, but no way would May have gone off. Harmes offered but was not allowed. Was a selfless act by Harmsey.

    • 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.
