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.

    Pannell is a bit of a [censored] really, he's married to Hawthorn but doesn't mind taking it from Geelong on the side.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
