Round 19 has just kicked off with Geelong vs Bulldogs. Do I care who wins? No. Do I wonder how much rotting food is secreted in Bartel's beard? Yes.

Tom Boyd just kicked a goal, AFL is an unpredictable game.

    I don't think Geelong get enough free kicks at home. They need to introduce a rule where they just start off with the ball rather than waste time with centre bounces.

    Wish we had Footscrays intensity, we are not even close to it.

    That last free against Hunter was a joke

    Fark me they can't take a trick. Libba out of the game, bloody Dangerf then gets out the back for a goal and a ballerina effort.

    I hate Geelong. I hate the supporters. I hate the players. I hate the ground. I'm shaky on the town.

    As an MFC supporter watching the bulldogs feels like watching football in fast forward. And I  don't  mean  from a leg speed  point of view. Their intensity around the contest gives their fans so much value. Ours was good last week  but sadly it took a  bake in the media to get a one off effort like that from our lot.

    Embarrassing isn't it.

    The way they play football is amazing, such pride in the jumper, they have their 6 best players out and are still going hell for leather, imagine we had Jones, Vince, Viney etc out of the team.  Love the way they go about it

    A terrible omission. You forgot to mention the coach. I hate him even more than the supporters/players/ground/town!!

    This is why i am disappointed in the 3rd year of Roosy

    the players do not put in enough. 

    Why? Is it the Salary Cap? Players get the same money regardless of which jumper they wear...

    Two edged sword. If poor clubs had lesser salary caps, will all their better players want to leave?

    Thought the effort was the one thing Roos would fix in his tenure. Sadly not. This is why I've started to wonder whether the supporters should shoulder a lot of the blame for the players not putting in. We have offered up so many excuses for the shocking performances over the years and many supporters still do. We have made it acceptable at the MFC to go less than 100%.

    No excuses for the Dogs. All those injuries but all they want to do is compete. A great example for youngsters watching sport to learn about how it should be played.

    I'm actually loving this Dennis + BT commentary team. Add in the Duck and there's some pretty good footy knowledge present tonight.

    What's with the ruck rules? One can stick a knee or boot into an opponents chest to block him but not a hand.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
