My mate and his girlfriend relocated from Sydney last week. Today is their first AFL game, they both want to pick their own team to follow. I've done my part with 2 guest passes to the Redlegs. I loo

I'm just heading off. Will have a countery first. Bangers under a mountain of chips and wash it down with half a dozen pots. Should be right in the groove by game time!

What like expecting everyone who has barracked for us to play for us? Yeah that's really mature...

Actually, I think we are being a little unfair to Undeeterred, It was JackVineyForPresident who started the whole "supported dees as a kid" thing.

Boring game so far.

But we are in it. I'd rather this than allowing the Pies to kick 120 points yet again while being smashed. We have room for improvement in the second half and we are only 9 points down. We are right in the contest.

Our midfield is do much better, but we are losing it at the clearances... And we just lack a bit of polish...by the way whose the new bloke in number 4? Runs hard, his tackle set up the first goal. Might be good across the half forward line...

Boring game so far.

Maybe it's the fact that we are still well in this game at half time, but I'm finding it fairly riveting... a good well contested game, and if McDonald could be a little more accountable (that is, get back to his first quarter form), we will be a better than even chance to take this.

So, we're in touch at half time, which hasn't happened a lot in recent years.

We've seen some interesting umpiring, including yet another "Salem picked up the ball" decision and a HTB against Watts when he handpassed it.

Our defence is keeping us in this game without a doubt. Especially the 4th eighth of the game when Collingwood were dominating and only got one goal from it. Dunn is fighting hard against Cloke but as their midfield gets on top it's getting harder.

I don't hold a lot of hope of our key forwards scoring goals, so the flankers and mids need to step up and take the slack. Frost and Keith are going to be very hard to take marks on in range of goal.

All in all 3/4 of that half we've been really good, and when we let them off the leash we limited the damage.

Yeah, the ball movement is slow, but we're also overusing it when we have the numbers. Worried at the moment. We stopped half way through that quarter.

Umpiring 7 to 2 or something the Pies way. Nice to see absolutely no bias going on for the game's "super star" Pendlebury.

On the bright side only 8 frees for the half. There probably should have been a few more paid to us and there were a couple of shocking HTB's paid to them, but it could be a lot worse.

I was going off the stats from Fox but the AFL app says 6 - 3... either way it's not good

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
