Round 15 - Non MFC Games

Featured Replies

Last night was an absolutely amazing contest.

Mainly because the umps let so much go. They just let them play. Long passages of play without any stoppages, players working tirelessly to get into space and take the game on. It was a great performance by both teams (bar Collingwood's first 20 minutes and their forward entries in the last 5).

How many soft high tackles, slides, holding the mans and in the backs did they let go? Wet conditions, scrappy contest: they let them play.

Great game to watch. Reminded me of '90s football.

 

Just saw the Adams video incident for the first time

Angry little sh!t isn't he...

Exposed temple area. Very dangerous.

Should get a long holiday but it won't happen

The broadcast deal stipulates that. The AFL want the players on TV. Means the incident is forgotten quicker

Cynical attitude?

Yep....

Yes, was a cheap dogs act by Adams. Not just once either. If he gets off, it certainly sets a bad example to other levels of footy

Adams wont get off.

It'll be intentional, high contact with low/medium force.

If it's medium force I think it goes directly to the tribunal?

Whatever happens, it'll probably be 3 weeks down to 2 with a plea, although it deserves 4.

What a tower of strength and great leader is Travis Boak!

He consoled Ollie and other players last night, looked after his coach during the week, did interviews before and after the game, gathered the whole club in the rooms to sing the song. (BTW, I thought it was neat they sang it as their tribute even tho AFL had asked clubs not to).

He showed similar maturity after Port lost John McCarthy.

Boak strikes me as an extraordinary young man. Not as experienced but up there with Hodge as one of the very best captains IMO.

Not a bad player either ^_^

Boak is awesome. Remember when they were a rabble, lost a coach and president and so he re-signs. The next year they totally turned it around. Boak, Hinkley,Koche.

Your underestimating our very own who i think is up there with the top 3 in the competition.

Personally i thought it was disrespectful to play their stupid 'never tear us apart' song. I also disagree with them singing their team song. Why should they be any different to all clubs who paid their respects last week?

 

What a refreshing change for a Friday night game?

Carlton's playing tonight.

mick's still got pull and he's no longer the coach

Like you, I believe he has got his fingers in quite a few pies.


Tigers only won last week thanks to some dubious umpiring late in the game.

Last week I thought Richmond were smashed by the umpiring all game and got the inevitable square-up in the last term. They won because GWS were even more putrid than they were. It was a shocking game, and this one's not much better. The Tiges are lucky they haven't come up against strong opponents in the last two weeks.


A shocker....

The decisions in this game???? what are Evans & Campbell doing to this once great game.

And Cotchin is a soft little sniper! Cant stand the [censored].

...and for those

For all those who want us to get Yarran, I hope you are watching him.

Over. Rated!

Beat me by a half second...

He would thrive under Roos just like his little mate has.

Id still take him.

This game rivals us vs lions last year as worst game I've seen.

Such deplorable skills by both sides.

I've never liked him, I really hope we don't chase him.

Carlton are [censored] terrible and the Tigers are a joke as well. I have no idea how this side can roll teams like Freo and the Swans.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
