    I am guessing St Kilda have one of the easiest draws like every other season  just based on their Round 1 opponent and venue.

    Or they get an irrelevant opponent at an irrelevant venue because nobody gives a stuff about the Saints.  There's a reason we've got a blockbuster for Round 1.

    I think brissy could be the big improvers this year. Their disposal is still poor though. StKilda only played the last 15 minutes of the game near anything like a decent side should.

    Bloody hell after bagging watts hes played a boody good 2nd half.

    I’d say acceptable opposed to bloody good. It will be interesting to see how he goes against a team that can actually play football.

    Riley Bonner looks a Star, hope we didn’t pass on him

    I haven’t watched a game from start to finish yet as I’m becoming bored, struggling to get into the games so far.

    We did indeed pass. We picked Oliver instead, do you think Port would consider a straight swap?

    Watts may have 3 goals but honestly they have been nothing special. He has been solid though after a lack lustre 1st half. Helps when you get your hands on the ball a bit.

    I thought the game had finished and just saw he kicked another. I agree he’s had a good game but yeh Freo’s defence and overall structure is pretty lacklustre.

    Watts had a very good 1st half of the season for us last year aswell, let’s just wait and see how he goes

    but 20 disposals and 3.3 goals is nothing to be sneezed at

    For Weed they wouldn’t.

    He wasn’t the right pick, they way overrated their midfield. 

    Petracca is a better forward too. So he would’ve filled 2 holes. 

    The only hole McCartin fills is his mouth. 

    Being an insulin dependant diabetic and playing AFL football cannot be easy.

    I agree. Another reason to take Petracca.

    Bucks going back to the 90’s with the old kick ins straight to the boundary line. Baffling. Not even attempting coast to coast.

    As soon as Buckley said in his presser couple weeks ago that he has not changed the game plan I thought you won’t last the year buddy

    Why don’t teams put a hard tag on Mitchell? They seem happy to let him get his usual 45 odd disposals every game.

    • 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.
