As much as I loathe Selwood - Pannell calls “play on” for the spear tackle. Overruled!  This clown and his 2 50 metre penalties cost us the 4 points against St Kilda. Don’t worry about ladder position this costs us.

    What Walker did was not leadership material or captain material. He just hits him high. Has to get weeks but will depend if Zac comes back on. 

    By the way can I just say well done to Kyle Cheney for still playing AFL footy. He may not be a superstar player and no one will ever talk about him but he has been around for 10 years now, 3 clubs and not bad for a #52 draft pick back in 07. Just battles on.

    Anyone else think that Eddie's was a goal? I thought Stewart swiped but missed it. Didn't see the ball change rotation in the slow mode.

    Edit: saw that replay just now. Probably touched.

    The reliance on the medical condition of the player who has been hit high is a newish thing yeah? Would Tex not be in line for a week or two in the past without taking into consideration concussion or damage etc?

    As soon as one of these idiot commentators says " Sparkle" Narkle, that's it, I switch the TV off.

    Have you switched off yet pd? BT just said “ look at Sparkle”.

    Tough game. Hope they pummel each other to pieces and Walker gets two weeks.

    This player takeover week of Fox Footy has blown regular viewing out of the water. AFL should farrk off the media and just employ current players to do commentary.

    How was Jenkins not held there?

    Exactly his arm was being pinned back. On another note this is a great game to watch. Nice and open.

    in Q1 Adelaide player marks the ball. Moves his arms as if about to handpass it but doesn't move either foot an inch. Immediate play-on call from umpire 5 metres away.   No wonder they can't deal with difficult decisions.

    Some are a tad whistle happy...others think they see things. 

    Some just ought not be officiating...not up to it.

    Reduce umps on field...less is more ( efficient )

    The game would be far less congested if umpires weren't so hot on players moving half an inch off their lines and calling play on.

    Tjeres more than just him it’s happening to. Something smells at that club... how many of the young ones will look to leave in the next couple of years?

    Bolton will be lucky to survive a 1 win season you’d think.

    It's not Bolton, its been there for an eternity (turn of the century)...  that stink comes from deep under the Elliot Stand.  Don't know whats under there.

    Anyway the powers of Lygon want all the class they can afford. 

    Even hiding young guns away from the team, resting.  Whilst they remain under the GC Sun.

     

    Guess we'll know soon enough, who wins the Lukosius Cup !

    Geelong are just below Ess in my least liked clubs, come on Crows you chit trucks.

    Gary Ablett just got the softest free kick I've ever seen.

    If they paid that all the time there would be 300 frees given in a game.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
