Pies are looking good.  Cripps and Curnow not as impressive as I expected.  Blues don’t look like scoring.  Still a long way to go in this game but Buckley looks safe....

The Blues are absolute poo.

Time to watch something else...this game is boring me.

...but some quick notes.

Dow is not ready for AFL.

Bolton is being out coached by Buckley.

Collingwood still can't kick to position but being made to look good.

Kreuzer not fit/Grundy BOG

Some of Blues young guns seem to be going backwards.

Who knows what the rules of this game are anymore? seem to change by the week...

Bolton in his last year.

Murphy not a captain.

Terrible game to watch. 

Still can’t believe these two teams trouble us - we look a lot better than them - shouldn’t be getting Friday nights. We’re 10 goals better than both of them.

I always hope for a Buckley loss...remember the time he wiped blood on Ling... unforgivable

Dees have had 3 friday night games in the last 4 seasons (inc port away this year)

How many have carlton had? Loads.

Have we won more games than they have in that time? Probably

As enjoyable as it is seeing Carlton being flogged everytime they play on a Friday night, I’d rather watch a quality football game.

The dogs actually have a bigger case. Win a flag and get 1

Blues go bottom four and get  4 + opening thursday.

Bucks is the Mark Waugh of the AFL.

Does absolutely nothing for 5-6 games in a row, then pulls something half decent out of the bag to give himself more time on the big stage.  Rinse and repeat.  

I mean, it's good for football that Bucks is coaching the Pies as they'll never win anything with him, but he's terrific at winning that one game that keeps him in a job for 10 more weeks.

Calling SWYL.

Two of the big four (or five) Victorian clubs. Collingwood arguably the biggest sporting club in Australia. By your mid 80s thinking Channel 7 desperately want this as a Friday night  game to support the established clubs and because clubs gave so many fans.

I. Don't. Think so.

Boring with a capital b and the ratings will reflect that fact. Advertisers pay big money for prime time slots. Do you think they would be happy with this rubbish and ratings?

Skills atrocious, maybe the afl need to give them more Friday night games ? 

Wouldn't bother watching the carp between 2 pretenders on Friday prime time TV.

No interest in these greedy clubs.

Principle has to stand for something.

Don't watch the greedy hog clubs, when they do not deserve prime time tv.

Went as a neutral tonight. Wow! What a shocking game. Blowtorch must be on Bolton soon. Bucks buys another month. Sadly, I suspect we must have been this bad 6 years ago.

Once upon a time these were the two most powerful clubs in the league.

Now they are basically irrelevant.   They have no right to be playing on a Friday night.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
