    The electric hoarding at the new WA stadium makes it very difficult to watch to the game. It’s a massive hoarding at ground level in particular.

    Scully might be a [censored] for gees I hate taking pleasure in anyone getting injured seriously. 

    Broomehead’s injury looks awful too. Poor kid. 

    North game next week is already giving me the cold sweats.

    Beautiful Prose...could not improve on it

    I thought it was absolute rubbish myself. Try putting yourself in the shoes of an 18 year old who is torn between lying or telling the truth and not knowing which will be the more hurtful. People have so overreacted to that series of events and are now showing their true colours with their nasty spiteful comments.

    I wouldn’t lie to a dying man, looking them in the eye. 

    That i can tell you. 

    You may react differently

    I probably wouldn’t lie now, but when I was 18, it may have been a different story; I would be torn between lying to make his life a little less stressful and telling the truth and giving him one more thing on his plate that he just didn’t need. 

    As I said, try placing yourself in the shoes of an 18 year old with very little real life experience.

    HT. Even as an 18 y/o i wouldn’t lie to a dying man, it’s a long story, but i went to school with a lot of kids who died young. 

    What $cully did to Jimma & the MFC was a disgrace, remember his “dodgy knee” that miraculously came good as soon as he left?

    i despise watching the MFC get bent over, it has happened time and time again, that one stung hard

    I just watched the incident of Scully and he was literally screaming in pain. How anyone can take pleasure in that, I don’t understand. It’s footy, he didn’t kill your kittens. I mean I hate the way he went about things, but gees a fractured ankle is nothing I would wish on anyone!

    Essendons talls are seriously overrated. Daniher barely touched the ball against an inexperienced direct opponent who’s been injured for two years and Stringer was practically unsighted. They won’t make an impact if they make the 8.

    I hate watching Ex dees do well for other clubs. Jack Watts’ 3 goals made me sick in the guts for his Port debut. Watching Howe take speccies and become one of the better defenders in the league hurts heaps.

    But to be happy with Scully copping a 16-20 week injury Is poor form!

    Some horrible injuries today and apologies if this has been posted elsewhere but we don’t want to see this on any playing field.

    I am suprised this doesn’t happen more often, considering the ferocity that players collide in a close contest. 

    Thankfully he is doing ok

    $cully's old man was on the take at GWS before the season was even out.  To crap on with all that "I really want to be a one club player" rubish, when all he really wanted was to be a $ one million dollar player, I'm sorry, but the whole episode from $cully absolutely reeked and I can't believe that anyone would go in and make lame excuses for him, least of all a MFC supporter.

    I take no great pleasure in seeing other human beings in physical pain and agony, but I certainly won't be crying if the karma bus has run over $cully.

    He lied when there was no need to lie. Him and his excrement of of a father had a deal worked out a year before, and even until the last moment he was talking crap. He looked a dying man in the eyes and lied. There was never a need for that. He put the boot in right when we didn't need it.

    So yeah, if he misses a year and never gets that running game back I'm going to smile a little.

    Oh did he? Thanks for filling me in, I was in a coma for those years.

    I can't ever connect sad football fan consequences with actual real life consequences, but okay.

    What an indictment by an AFL captain!   Marc Murphy says his teammates fell into the trap of believing their positive showing against Richmond last week would just happen again against Gold Coast on Saturday. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-03-31/blues-got-carried-away-says-murphy

    Murphy obviously didn't notice they had 20 scoring shots vs 38 by Richmond last week nor that many of their goals came from free kicks.  They were scorched last week yet came out thinking they were champs this week.

    While Murphy spoke the truth it is tantamount to saying they thought GCS were easy beats and didn't pay them any respect.  Haha.  Unfounded hubris.  Paid the price. 

    At this rate they are heading for the wooden spoon, again.  Oh, and Carlton need a new captain:lol:.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
