I love Bernie but WTF has happened with his kicking over the last 3 weeks?

If you are out of bounds, play on sideways and drop the ball surely that is a throw in?

Finally taken Clint Bizket's advice and synced the radio to the TV broadcast. It's about a trillion times better than the crap Channel 7 can dish up. Now all they need to do is get with the times and spring for some HD cameras and I'll be golden.

Some goals would be nice too.

They actually film every AFL match in full native HD but only broadcast in SD. They're absolutely hopeless. Ten set the benchmark of how to do free-to-air AFL coverage but the idiot running that company decided not to pursue the last rights deal.

Bails shot was the right option. Poorly executed but the right option all the same.

I reckon Jeremy Howe has been our best player so far. What's the bet he'll go missing after about quarter time, as usual.

Really despise comments like this about our players, show some respect in the way talk about players

He is on an AFL list you are not and there is probably a good reason for that

Agree. They give credence to Saty's nonsense. Not warranted.

Fair dinkum. No umpire in the AFL knows the rules. None of them. Calls advantage, player stops, then gives it back to the original bloke. FFS.

You would think so. But as the ball never came back on the ground its not counted.

If a player is out of bounds and takes a free kick and sprays it horribly, the player gets another kick as it never came back into play. Stupid rule.

Isnt that [censored] Russell howcroft who is on our board?

Why do they film it in hd if they aren't going to screen it?

Not true unless they changed the rules in the past 2-3 years. I have seen it called "out of bounds" when a player moves of his mark while over the line.

Problem was the field umpire didn't call play on until after the ball had been kicked, meaning that the boundary umpire couldn't call out of bounds.

yet ANOTHER goalless first quarter

Paul Roos needs to get with modern times

Maybe try scoring some goals?

Holy [censored] this is pathetic

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
