Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road.

Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides as the Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot.

On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss.

On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide.

The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    Our main competitors for a slim chance at the final 8 are presently Essendon, Carlton and Sydney. Losses by each would be handy assuming we win this week and next. It would put us firmly in the mix

    I give nth a shot tonight.

    Xerri should dominate the ruck & run goldy ragged, there forward line is better & I hope they win.

    Hopefully Geelong can knock off the pies & wreck crisps night

    This weekend is Magic Round for the NRL. Same concept as Gather Round with all NRL games being played in Brisbane at Lang Park.

    Strange thing is that Melbourne Storm and Canberra Raiders have a bye. I wonder if this was deliberately planned and how it works with the advantage of home and away, ground revenues etc

    My bad

    Read the NRL site wrongly (They had the Bye column next to the game. Seems the Sea Eagles have the bye)

    North surely have to come out firing soon.

    They are sooking about Cornes who admittedly is a [censored], but what’s the point?

    you just come off looking petty

    Close game. North by 1pt

    Ugh I hate Kane Cornes so much. He’s a pigheaded bully who has no issue with picking on junior players. Critiquing is one thing but condescendingly laughing while making up the stupid Sheezy skit is another thing entirely. He’s a nasty bastard and I’m glad North has banned him.

    Now watch what he implies or even says if North win tonight (please footy gods let North beat the most revolting team in the league). That conceited POS will take credit for firing them up. 🤮

    Finnbar Maley, what a beautiful Irish name.

    Love seeing a debutante kick a goal.

    Especially when it’s against Essendon 😁

    What happened to North since they played us? They are incredibly poor.

    No wonder Trac cracked it.

    Google Finbar Furey and Mary Black singing “walking with the one I love”.

    Such a beautiful song.

    Enjoy.

    Can’t believe we lost to both these teams.

    (But then I can totally believe we actually lost to both these teams)

    It is hard to believe just how bad we were for rounds 2-5. Not saying that’s totally in the past, but it feels like it. We were horrendous.

    If I may offer some helpful advice, I have a method of dealing with Kane Cornes.

    The secret is to never read, watch or listen to anything he has to say.

    Could just be me, but Simpkin does f all for a captain and midfielder. His season stats look misleading

    I don't watch too many non-Melb games. These two teams are absolute garbage

    Terrible umpiring and a low quality boring scrap.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
