Half Time:

Melbourne 11.9.75

Gold Coast 4.5.29

The skies look threatening and from the look of the players the effort is particularly tiring. Fitness is going to be important and the commentators are talking about activating the sub early. Timing could be interesting.

Lazy, pure and simple.

Working out why Collingwood are so good isn't hard. They run hard with and without the ball, they aren't just thinking about getting the ball themselves they think about where they need to be if their teammate gets the ball.

Melbourne don't do any of this. Melbourne are about five goals down for what I would consider a pass mark to this point.

Agreed completely with this, if we brought this lack of intensity and process to any other AFL game we would be beaten.

Struggling to win the quarter against this mob although hitting the post four times doesn't help!

Good to see Aaron Davey in the goals but how did he miss the one on the siren.

Three Quarter Time

Melbourne 15.14.104

Gold Coast 8.11.59

Live score at Quarter Time in the other game (where a goal umpire's decision was overruled on the say so of a boundary umpire - I hate that!)

Fremantle 5.6.36

North Melbourne 4.3.27

Goodbye Bunnings Warehouse and Creative Gourmet.

No Grunt

No Game Plan

No Nuts

Lucky we are playing a team of kids.

Thank God No Ablet or Brown

They would have overtaken us by now

Bailey has no Clue how to REV up and position a side to beat a team of KIDS

We are [censored].

It's simple, we have not improved one bit since last year, actually gone backwards in our skills.

I have been patient with Bailey and what he has had to work with, but I am really struggling to see what he is trying to do, and if he is doing what he wants, it's wrong. And if it's the players not following his instructions then we are in as much trouble.

Ross Oakley was just another corporate w#%nker with a cash register for a heart and a TV for a brain.

Probably still not game to cross over the Westgate to the Western suburbs-long memories out that way

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
