Hands down Richmond. Apart from just having a general dislike for them, I can't stand the way they celebrate whenever they have a win. When they beat Brisbane last round you would have thought it was

Geez collingwood are loving that football. The amount of times they just chip it around. Don't they have confidence in Cloke just to kick it long to him. 

But I do like the father/son rule and it is a nice to see another Silvagni running around. Done some nice things. 

Anyway flicking to wimbledon now.

This is a godawful game of football. Jesus Christ, how did this get fixtured on a Saturday night over Melbourne vs Adelaide?

Compare where the 4 teams were at the end of last year and it's mindboggling that this was considered the premium fixture.

Thanks Channel 7, you knobs! Same bloody teams getting the premium games week in, week out.

It's not really a pure 6 day break though, is it. Players will spend hours in recovery following the match, probably getting home close to midnight Sunday.

And then they have a 4 hour flight on Friday. It's not as cut and dry as a 6 day break IMHO.

Haha it really is as much of a 6 day break as any other 6 day break.

Nothing that i really concern myself with tbh!

So basically what you're saying is that these "Around the Grounds" threads are pointless. Why'd you read it and comment?

BT: Carlton are down by three goals, they're going to have to kick four to win, or at least five.

They commentate as if viewers are completely braindead morons with zero knowledge of the game, not even how many points a goal is worth.

good pickup rtg.......can i blame predictive text or some such?

Blame predictive text DC but, hey, we all have our reasons for going to the footy. Picket goes in the hope that Oscar Mac drops marks.

Actually I reckon he might enjoy watching him take marks RTG....preferrably in a Casey guernsey

Moons is always prattling on about young teams not travelling well. Maybe some cred to that

    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

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    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. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
