Grimes the sub

I'll never understand this... Grimes was one of the BOG last weekend, equal high in disposals and kicked a goal yet named sub? He played better than most of the team last weekend and the club is treating him like s**t. For his sake, I hope he finds a new club who respects him because Roo's clearly wants him out.

Had it on a string mate.

ha ha MCQUEEN you ledgend
 

How many goals do you reckon we will concede in the first quarter?

The usual 8

Agree with this. Selection this year and subs have been unfathomable at times.


There's zero chance we'll be within 10 goals. I just hope Hogan kicks a bag.

such a pessimist... I have no doubt we will be right up there with them on the score board... right up to the time that someone bounce the ball and starts the game.

The clubs strategy with the sub mystifies me. Thank God it will be gone next year by all accounts. It's a blight on the competition.

Combined score the last 3 weeks in the 1st quarter we are down 21 goals to 3

8.


I'm no fan of Riley but if a player is to be the sub then surely he is better suited than Grimes.

I would think that Roos will be looking for Riley to make a significant impact early in the game

Still playing Supers and Master grades.

Go for the Interstate Carnival rep team. Pretty easy to get a gig if you have the time. It's in Tassy this year in October. There are big benches which explains how I get a game. That and the fact that there are not that many idiots over 55 still running around. I think they call us legends, my wife has another name for us? Who do you play for in WA. We are Coburg, not great in the youngsters by our team went okay.


The dread has settled right in now.

Thats why beer was invented. Sweet liquor eases the pain.

Lets be honest... Its going to be very ugly..

I'll try to be positive, this game has an air of that Collingwood game.

We'll know in the first 10 minutes which team has showed up, if any.

Why am I watching this?


Apparently, according to Paul's guru, if we all have positive thoughts we will romp this one in.

 

Dwayne to commentate. Super.

You beat me to it. We always seem to draw the short straw with him.

3 minutess in and no Freo goal. Going to be close!

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

  • 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.
