I''m so sick of the absolute fawning about Rioli. Yeah yeah, he's a really good player but so sick of that fat [censored] Taylor gushing about him. Even in the last minute when Rioli didn't take a handball near goals, Taylor was blaming the handball.

For me Mitchell was BOG. An absolute freak. I hate to say it, but Frawley was sensational. Rivers was good last night too. As if MFC can afford to lose those players!!

It was a really good match. Glad Hawthorn lost.

i think the Hawks played well below their best, and wouldn't be all that concerned by the loss,

Luke hodge would have made a difference

Well below their best.....the game was a ripper, came back from six goals down against the Swans. Missed a few missed set shots that's all. Rioli was cm's away from winning it.

"Only Cyril can do that!!!"...after taking a pretty regulation mark one on one in the goal square, and played on and kicked the goal. See that happen in every bloody game.

Good player, but it was all a bit much.

and as I recall little or nothing was said at the time about his (certainly uncharacteristic) fumble in front of goal in the dying seconds.

swans were good but ultimately lucky

hawks had plenty of opportunities and blew them with bad (uncharacteristic) kicking for goal

still it shows that even hawthorn lose their composure if you apply enough pressure

maybe man-on-man football has a future as a game plan, especially against sides with more talent

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
