AFL - Round 5 (non MFC Games)

Obviously this is the round of the celebration game disappointments.

Last night, the Blues celebrated Mick Malthouse's record of 715 games and lost by 13 goals.

Today, North Melbourne celebrated the 40th anniversary of their first premiership and lost by 10 goals.

Tomorrow, Freo celebrates the departure of Colin Sylvia. They're in trouble.

It will be a draw... we're celebrating Watts' 100th game.

No chance Hodge will be available to play against us and Lewis is a maybe. What was with that goal review that clearly hit the post but they called it a goal?

The first one from 30 out that hit the left post, or looked like it did, wasn't conclusive enough so they went with umpires decision. It looked like it hit from one angle, but I dunno if it did for sure.

The one on the goal line that hit the goal umpires arm then the post amazed me, I can't believe common sense prevailed after that Eddie Betts NAB goal. Finally.

Is it just me or does there seem to be far more score reviews at Etihad than anywhere else?

I agree for the one when it hit the umpire. The other one I am 100% sure it hit the post and it looked verry obvious to me from the down the ground view.

It's a bit like the war between Iran and Irak in the 80s. Nobody cares much who wins.

Yes, because talking about a game of football is indicative of performance during war. I'm sure half a million dead from Iran and IraQ would back you up on that one WJ.

I usually have respect for your posts WJ. Not this time.

Couldn't bring myself to watch, but drugs obviously help in tight finishes

Essendrug for some reason have won 2 lucky games, when everything should be going against them if the world was fair

I guess karma doesn't exist

on the other hand Mitch Clark is injured, or the other foot, i should say

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
