Season over for Freo, Pies resting quality players and still running rings around the opposition and here we are struggling to run out games and trying to learn a new game plan which has been around for years.

    The AFL being such an imagine conscious organisation, and one that is worried about a concussion class action, I bet they bring in some type of rule to stop players trying to run off the ground like Schultz did then. It wasn’t a good look.

    and given their propensity to suspend for outcome is the Freo player a chance of being suspended? And I’m saying this not because I think it worthy of suspension but who can tell what the MRO will do

    Heresy to admit this on Demonland but Collingwood are up to their necks in the premiership race. Elliott and Hill are arguably the best small forward combo in the competition.

    Kozzie do you really want to consider walking into this club called Fraudmantle?

    Think long and hard as Jacko is now!

    The Pies work off the ball is off the charts. That’s why they’re in so many games.

    and their precision field kicking to each other

    Sorry to say, but an impressive win coming up for the Pies tonight.

    4 good players out and going over to WA off a 5 day break. Respect.

    Will be a close finish. Pies of a five-a and down one rotation will run out of legs have they done enough?

    If Archer is suspended for 3 weeks then (Clarke was it?) also needs to go. He didn’t have to jump into Shultz.

    And I also am not saying it should be a suspension, but if players have to take ‘reasonable care’ then he has to be gone.

    No suspension. Both players were committed

    Yeah, in Freo.
    The rest of the country doesn't care.

    • PREVIEW: 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.
