    Are Adelaide missing our #8, or is Dooday covering him well?

    The deliberate OOB decisions are even more embarrassing.

    All the focus was on whether it was touched or not: I wondered if it actually after that brushed on the shin of a Swan closer to goal?  Didn't seem to review that.

    Exactly, I thought it was pretty clear the ball hit the Swans player just above the foot and went through for a goal. I assumed that’s what was being reviewed. Weird

    I am with you, seemed very odd they didn't look at that.

    What was the conversation all about during the review? Something about kicking in danger and indiscriminate kicks causing damage. Was that the ump talking to a player?

    Sydney don’t play the SCG as well as the power or the crows

    Nonsense. They’re deliberately not trying. Someone high up is rigging the games or has a bet on that trickles down to the coaches and players. We’re being duped.

    Agreed. And every player is in on it.

    I heard the umpire but wasn’t really paying attention.

    Have a look at the game Adelaide played against Collingwood and then tell me I’m wrong. I’m not. Collingwood are a [censored] team and Adelaide were hopeless and clearly not trying.

    Sounded like a female voice and a very strange conversation. Maybe it was a player but for some reason I thought it was coming through his head set...

    I think the voice was trying to say it was kicking in danger but the ump was having none of it. Was almost as if the voice wanted to turn over a decision & award a free kick on review which would have been very embarrassing. 

    The ump to his credit pointed out his decision not to award an in danger free had nothing to do with the review.

    I don't think we were supposed to be in on that discussion but would be very interested to know who it was with. Wonder if the AFL can use the hit the wrong button excuse this time.

    You said in the first post of this forum that Sydney should demolish the crows.

    Stormy - why is that more odd?

    Wouldnt trust the AFL one inch ...... rigged fixture, or rather fixed ire, just for starters.

    Pretty sure they have mentioned a few times they get to see more angles than what channel 7 shows. Guess you can blame 7 for not showing this one live

    Handy game last night. Showed to me that any team, in form on the day and willing to go 100% can win against any opposition.

    Its how the Dogs did it two years back and the Tigs last year. I feel the flag this year is again anyone’s to win.

    People were silly to write off the crows after last week and people will be sillier again to write off an aging (or slow) swans for this year as well.

    Both teams have significantly more firepower than us at the moment.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
