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

  • bears?

best for us would be relatively similar, possibly with the exception of north getting up tonight, aints tomorrow 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. 🤮


Ok that Finbar Maley looks like he rode a penny-farthing to the ground 😂

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.

Agree- a nasty bastard.And arrogant.

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

Edited by Dee Zephyr

 

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

Terrible umpiring and a low quality boring scrap.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
