Really like the look of the team that Brisbane’s putting together.  They’re still a few years off finals, but they have some real quality across the board.

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Lions due to a family connection and am glad to see them starting to both retain and attract some talent to the club.

Hodge is a fantastic acquisition for them just as Daniel Cross was for us.

 

Despise stkilda.

    Next week will not be easy up there, and definately not a shoe in as many have predicted.

    They match up against us well and always step up for our games.  Will be tough, especially if their midfield gets their eye in.

    Gee, the ball movement from both teams here is snail-like.

    St Kilda rely too heavily on Savage's disposal off half back.

    If Brisbane beat us next week we will not make nor deserve to make finals. 

    Because of a loss in round 2?

    Nah.

    agreed

    i'm half expecting us to start the year 1-2 but we should still be right in the mix to play finals regardless of the result in the first three games (admittedly, 0-3 wouldn't be great but 3-0 would sure help!)

    luke hodge looks bizarre in a fitzroy jumper

    Watts has scored a goal.

    Hand back AAMI & Gosch, plough Casey and sow it with salt, deregister the playing list and put them in the draft. Dissolve the MFC and offer our place at the G to Essendon.

    We have no right to participate in the AFL.

    Jack Watts looking good. Looks beefed up this season.

    Now Motlop with a goal. Can’t wait to hear and read about how brilliant their moneyball recruiting was.

    Saints will end up winning just because I don’t want them to, but they look putrid.

    I can’t thank St Kilda enough for taking McCartin.

    He looks ready to explode. 

     

    Not in a good way.

    Watts still the same. Always out of position and hovering around the pack.

    Reliable average player who uses the ball well but usually not a game changer. 

    Unlike Hogan he wont impose himself and simply get the ball.

    McCartin was probably the right pick at the time problem is the games changed doesn’t suit the big forward if that’s all you can do

    Petracca was the right pick at the time.

    The Saints drafted for ‘needs’ rather than ability.

    Saints steadied well in the end here, but at the same time, you would be slightly disappointed as a Saints fan.  Outside of a few players like Steven, Billings and Acres, they have looked very average.  

    Lions had a dip but they are still light on for talent.  They'll be pretty good in a few years time.

    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.

    • 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.
