AFL Round 3 - Non MFC Games (2017)

To be fair to Essendon, this weather suits Carlton to an absolute tee. Carlton's game is based on stopping their opponents from scoring which is significantly easier to do in a deluge.

If GC holds on against Hawthorn (big if), then Hawthorn, Sydney and North will be the bottom 3, which would be delightful.

If anything, though, it certainly looks to be shaping up as an even season.

Hate both of them, but this is hilarious. These days I hate Essendon just a little more. Essendon will trouble more teams than Carlton, so it's a handy win for those fighting for the top 8. Likewise, Freo's win over the Dogs last night is potentially handy too. Also, ensures we don't take Freo lightly next week.

The Blues aint as bad as some of the pundits have been suggesting. Some serious talent starting to bob up.

Really? Their best players today were Murphy, Gibbs, Docherty and Curnow. Same old same old, and only one of them is below the age of 27.

Someone may be able to remind me who it was, but I'm sure I heard a commentator mention during the week that Essendon is now everybody's second favourite side. Nothing could be further from the truth I suspect. I, for one, despise them. Drug cheats who were effectively rewarded with the number one pick in the land. Pure and simple.

Quite a number of these drug cheats will run on to the field today (please don't tell me that gobbledygook that none had an inkling as to why they had to continually head off site).

I hope they lose today.

Your wish has happened. Bloody drug cheats.

Thought Seton, Silvagni and Palmer weren't too bad either titan. Cripps not bad also but obviously not news to anyone.

And how about Rowe? What a soldier. Being severely concussed and all.

He stood up big time Ted. Forgot about him. Even Weidering made a reasonable fist of it after coming back on.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
