Hawthorn are suffering from what scientists are calling "the Vickery effect."

So both Essendon and Hawks lost/losing, all of a sudden the Dons win vs Hawks Rd1 looking a lot less impressive, hoping today's performance is a more realistic assessment of where the Bombers are.

Hawthorn 0 -3 Tigers 3 - 0 Coincidence?

The commentary has been deplorable....they have been told to talk the pies up at any opportunity, either that or they really are dumb. 

Collingwood were hitting targets in the first Q and Ling was orgasmic, the only problem was the Swans pressure was non existent.

It was like they were doing a match simulation, allowing Collingwood to practice their short field kicking.

As soon as the Swans started to put a bit of pressure on in the 2nd Q the Pies kicking started to look ordinary again.

Come on Swans put it together, bring up the pressure and you win this one.

Ah.. there you have it

Collingwood, Essendon and of course Hawthorn = Ratings

Don't particularly like the Swans (they have had their success) but there is some inner happiness when Collingwood implodes....

Strange observation/question from just before the game started.  One of the trainers rubbed something on both of Buddy's arms and his arms were shiny afterwards.  Looked like they were covered in baby oil or something.  Can anyone clarify for me what it was?

A lot of guys grease up so as not to be tackled so easily

It could be one of a number of lubricants. Back in my clubbing days I use to apply coconut oil onto my arms.

Collingwood have taken handball lessons from Luke Beveridge -- how many times do they get away with blatant throws.

And outrageous free to Collingwood for  below the knees when it was actually kicking in danger.

Sydney don't look like it, but if they're to be a top 4 team this year, it's the sort of game you'd expect them to eventually run over the top of a Collingwood-type. 

I'm running out of fingers counting the amount of times one of the commentators (mainly Bruce) has misjudged a goal. He's a painful commentator nowadays.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
