Has anyone else noticed how well this game has been umpired? Just about the perfectly umpired game of AFL footy. Please let them umpire this way tomorrow so we can fairly and squarely work out who deserves the big dance.

Ahem. Nicholls.

    This is my exact thoughts. Imagine Eddie celebrating with his two little tweebs as we lose in a granny. God no, just no.

    Yeah, and my neighbour is mad Collingwood, if they won I'd have to belt him and I don't really want to, seems like a nice bloke.

    Richmond are being pathetic. Stuff em. It is hard to watch as I hate the filth..Maybe if we win tmrw it is a godsend. To beat the filth in a granny would be wonderful.

    C'wood are doing to R'mond what they did to Melbourne on QB ........ only doing it better!  God I hate the prospect of that mob being in the Grand Final ....... but I guess if we make it, beating them will taste even sweeter.

    Hopefully played there GF tonight, can't play any better than this.

    Richmond look so slow and lethargic, only played once in a month hopefully the same with the Weagles.

    So Collingwood vs Melbourne grand final next week!

    Ugh the mere idea of losing to Collingwood in a Grand Final makes me physically ill. 

    Worse, they will absolutely belt the Eagles at the G. They are beyond overrated and can't play the G.

    Geez, Collingwood have hit their peak at the right time this year. Going to be near impossible to beat.

    Honestly didn't rate them at the start of the season but their team is terrifying when clicking.

    Richmond...being shown up...they are limited in style. Collingwood exampliflying it.

    We CAN beat this Collingwood.

    The flag is ours...if we really REALLY want it ;)

    Why are there empty seats next to the MCC if its a sell out?? Never got that..

    Not all seats in the MCC are reserved, those ones empty are the walk up on game day seats. As an MCC member myself it’s a bloody weird old school system and a night like tonight shows it’s not the best, there should be no empty seats tonight.

    According to Bruce, Howe has been phenomenal. 8 touches (2 marks). Bruce is done. 

    And is he saying that that absolute champion Prancer having a typical amazing game?

    He went straight forward after the opening bounce. As Collingwood got on top he didn't get moved back into the middle.

    It's funny how Richmond look so different when their stars are down. They haven't had to deal with those players being out of the side or even out of form.

    Pull the other one, they've beaten pretty much everyone all year and they haven't lost at the G for 18 months.

    Twas judging by their performance tonite Uranus.

    unfortunately though Billy Slater gave away a goal line penalty for a beautifully executed hip and shoulder. loved it. Ref didn't - called it a shoulder charge. if he gets charged by the NRL minimum penalty is a week. might be his last game and no fairytale GF for him

    I saw that. For all the NRL talks about how tough they are, that was a fair bump in footy. And the guy jumped straight back up!

    Brodie Grundy is also tearing Nankervis to pieces.

    Richmond's lack of talls (no key defender to go with Cox, no tall for the bail out mark down the line, no second ruckman) is a massive problem.

    I suppose Lynch helps with that next year.

    Rance is so overrated.

    • 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.
