Hoskin-Elliot was impressive. Should improve with more football. He has some great skills. Few kicks turned over, but is a real player - no doubt. Funny to see some pot him on here, clearly they didn't watch the game tonight, or know much about football.

    Shocking game of football, I thought Collingwood were very stiff with the umpiring in the last quarter.

    It's funny, I tipped Richmond but them winning went almost exactly as I expected. Collingwood shooting themselves in the foot, Richmond having good enough flashes to get he job done. I doubt either teams fans would look at this  and feel confident for the year. 

    Happy I got the tip though!

    What the pies need is a good solid stopper in the backline.  Someone like Lynden Dunn for instance...

    Throw him forward and drop Jesse White :)

    I have more time for Buckles than his Pres. 

    I doubt it will happen, but the Pres should fall before Buckles.

    Buckles is a decent person.

    I thought the game was very entertaining - in a perverse sort of way.

    Your username is spot on about these two sides

    Need Bucks to win some games before the break, dont want him to be fired.  With him as coach and Eddie as president they will stay mediocre forever.    Shows how great Malthouse was for them,  easy to forget as he was so bad as Carlton coach.

    Unless they get pipped by St Kilda or the Hawks.

    Incidentally I'm pretty sure I heard the commentators say something about the pies being 0-8 playing on Thursday nights. Keep giving that time slot! :lol:

    I didn't even see the game and that's still funny. Assume there's no need to chase up a replay?

    Unless you want to laugh at the absolute butchery in the first 3 quarters, give it a miss. 

    There were a few goals in the last 15 when it opened up a bit. But compared to almost every game in round 1 it was truly horrible. I wish we played either of them tonight. Me and you that is KK, we would've beat them.

    What a pathetic crowd for two teams that have so many members.

    If Melbourne had as many members and supporters as these two teams we'd get 80,000 people per game.

    Gee I think you are being a little tough on them Clint.

    58 000 on a Thursday night ain't that bad. It was Thursday night, people have to work the next day and kids go to school etc.

    As well Thursday nights are about the Broadcast rights not attendance.

    They have plenty of inside, he should complement them well, and he did a couple of nice things last night but he does need to develop a little something extra.

    Its funny as Buck finally looks comfortable being a coach and delegating to his deputies and yet he could be gone pretty quickly if the players performance really drops off a cliff.

    You are very wrong my friend. One would reasonably  think neither team would be up and about but oh my oh my  the tiger mates i know are excited/delusional.

    Its good though, it makes their eventual downfall much much sweeter. Bring on anzac eve

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
