 No disputing that Nash. ..but you reckon he can match Brown in the air? Do you have any recollection of how Brown has torn up our defence in recent times? Fairly blanket comment by you that factors in nothing in regards to OMACs strength vs weakness 

Absolutely need to stop any easy delivery to Brown - he would one on one beat most defenders if he gets it put in front of him.

We can only hold him down with a team effort.

    I know it's a bit late but havent had a chance to get near a computer but good on Adelaide for making sure Rance played 1 on 1 footy and had to have an opponent to look after rather than just let him do what he does best. 

    Yes he had a good 2nd half but he was made accountable in the 1st half and I hope other clubs do this. 

    Should we be throwing money at Lynch?

    I spy 4 teams that are shyte. (Roos, Blues, Suns and Saints).  I expect to add Collngwood and FRE to the list before the weekend finishes (and hopefully a trounced Lions too!).  If you took an international guest to either of the games at Etihad, you would have to apologise pretty hard.

    Expect the saints will bounce back, suns will develop, blues will pinch a few.  No easy games this year.

    Two absolute shockers back to back from Etihad. Lynch the only one worth watching.

    I agree re Roos, Blues, Saints and pies.

    The suns however are a seriously talented team with some genuine stars. You can only beat the teams you go up against and so far they’re looking pretty good.

    Carl and GC is a dreadful game ( not as bad as yesterdays though ) where they continually turn it over by foot and tackling pressure is near zero.

    Surely the Honeymoon period is now over for Bolton, he should start copping a bit of heat now. 

    No way. Carlscum are full of young stars that will take them to a 3peat. Their supporters told me that so it must be true.

    Carlton are terrible, particularly without Kruezer, but the pressure that the Gold Coast midfield and forwardline have brought is what we need to emulate. It's Richmond-like. We were nowhere near this last week. We need to bring it all year.

  • Quote

    The Suns are much better than last season, albeit Carlton we porridge today.

    Gold Coast don't seem to be missing Ablett 

    The absence of pre game prayer meetings probably gives them a chance to listen to the coach

  • Quote

    Ironically, losing Gary Ablett may have cured the Suns of their individualistic culture.

    Rocket did a lot of the cleaning out but Stuie Dew clearly had them playing brilliant pressure football.

    Two boil overs in two days. Melbourne be wary tonight!

    Not many orange people here at the MCG. Not many of anybody in fact.

    Half the ground is still reserved seating so the pies make money.

    Go orange men. It will be so nice watching the pies go down.... I hope

  • Quote

    Oh dear that was absolutely terrible for young Phillips.

    Broken leg kicking the goal post.

    best thing to happen to them he leaving , even though he had really left last year.

    they will improve without him , they will have to stand up themselves and not look for him all the time.

    the kids will come on more

    New favourite commentator. Nick Riewoldt. Insightful, thoughtful. He's dominating this commentary team at the G and they're throwing to him regularly.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
