Stringer looks lean, fit and angry and could make a massive difference if they make finals. The Bummers absolutely stuffed up his training and fitness management. GWS looking potent v the Cats.

    Absolutely he’s fitness. Thus the good kicks in pressure situations

    Playing beyond Fatigue and still nailing a kick, Mark or Handball

    That’s Fitness Dub….

    Cats are playing horribly. After 4 early goals they’ve kicked 2 in 2 quarters

    Does play some part but the majority of kicking is skill. A lot of it you’re born with like Rankine, Dawson etc and the rest is junior coaching

    Their skills in the first half before major fatigue was unbelievably good

    And Cadman beginning to fulfill his potential.

    Frightening duo.

    I agree. But after Halftime is when the Burgess Training shines

    Players can still execute to a high level without fatigue

    It’s exactly what the MFC lack right now.

    That 1-2% of extra Fitness we had as a list in ‘21

    Adelaide are a serious chance at a Flag this year….

    The Club tried very hard to get Cadman, but it was impossible….

    How did the Giants land the #1 Draft pick Cadman?

    Can't blame the Bummers fitness dept.
    He only got himself fit during contract years.
    Same at the bulldogs.

    If Freo win tonight there will be 6 teams on 44 points. one of which is outside the eight

    outside the 8 with 11 wins with 6 games to go!

    14 (maybe 15) wins is a minimum for finals this year!

    They gave up pick 3, 12 and a second rounder in a huge trade involving JHF and Rioli

    Is every game going to have dominant big men kicking 6 goals?

    Looks like it's finally clicked for Cadman. Good for him, it's exciting to see.

    Hopefully Jeffo takes a leaf or two out of his book.

    The thing that [censored] me about this is the AFL have endorsed this kind of action (ref. Pendlebury let off for striking Lachie Neale in the solar plexus with open palm in recent years, etc.).

    Now a similar action has led to a player suffering a collapsed lung. Striking is striking, irrespective of whether it is via fist or palm. Well done AFL, this is on you.

    Wish the Dees had a youngster like Cadman. Just looks like a player. A footballer. A goalkicker. Somehow we have to get a key forward one day who just looks like he knows what the game is about.

    Check your sums again, grasshopper.

    If Freo wins, the Bulldogs will be in 9th spot on 40 points.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
