Gee its very low scoring. Lets hope next week we have geelong at 4 goals during the 3rd quarter and we have dominated. Hawkins set shot he missed at the beginning of the 3rd he would have kicked that against us. 

Part of me wants the cats to win.

    I’m normally critical of most things the AFL do but I fully support their efforts to open up the game more and get less crowding around the ball.

    It's a one-game sample (last night's game wasn't overcrowded or over congested), it's humid (players have said this during breaks and they're clearly struggling to grip and mark the ball) and both sides are sending strong pressure.

    The game is opening up as we move into the third, too.

    eagles at $7 is great odds imo they won’t lose at home so should finish top 2 

    Yeah, not many teams beat the Eagles at home.

    Hold on a second...

    Would be better if they are zip and two and are two and zip.

    How good is it not to see a swarm of team runners on the ground zoning?

    Looks much more like footy is supose to look like.  With 6-6-6, all they need to do is further limit the number of interchange and it might actually be reconisable as Australian Rules Football.

    • 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.
