    Oh well. I guess we now need Brisbane to [censored] Adelaide and then us win the last two by lots and we make it.

    Watching that game,I couldn't help but think the Umpires had been encouraged to help the local team win.A bit of success in Western Sydney helps promote Australian football there.

    The free kick count was grossly in their favour despite Melb having far more of the ball.

    On the rare occasions the ball went inside their 50, you could see they were just itching to pluck out a free in front. Sure enough, their only goal in the second half came from a free for which the commentators couldn't fathom the cause.That proved to be the winning goal.

    They got a 50 m penalty that was at least 75 metres(3 kick lengths). Our 50 m penalty was 40 m.,judiciously stopped out of scoring range.

    The commentators were glaringly obviously hoping for a Western Sydney win. Kelli Underwood's biased, nasal ,cliche-ridden drawl was nauseating.Is Nathan Burke somehow connected to the Giants? Seemed like it.

    I don't understand how this website forum can embrace the new AFLW, but simultaneously let what 'Biffen' (whom after a bit of research is an apparently regular and somewhat respected poster on this site) has written on the  No T$ etc thread stand? Its a disgraceful piece of unrelenting sexism and bigotry, specifically aimed at degrading women?

    Im not a bleeding heart but the irony is palpable.

    Agree with the first four paras. We could have had a number of frees right in front of goals too. 

    Disagree with the last para. The commentators just picked up in the first half of the first quarter what our coach didn't pick up until he looked at the stats after the match and thought "we may have overused the hands a bit". GWS just got numbers to the fall of the ball all over the ground, and were happy to just get a good purchase on a kick out of congestion instead of trying to finesse it through traffic all day. 

    Underwood & Burke were annoying mainly because they could see what our brains trust couldn't.

    Maybe taking things at their apparent face value a bit Biz?  I don't know Biffen, but the T$ thread is not to be taken seriously.  Seriously.

    If your beef is over there, please take it up over there.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
