Just looking at the beginning of the Sydney v Collingwood game.  These players seem to have terribly shiny upper arms.  Surely there's some sort of rule about not greasing up the players?  It looks like every one of them has been slathered in Vaseline.

    Commentators on radio just described the grass as slick, too. Maybe there's been a general vaseline spill att he SCG?

    Probably, but it just struck me and I kind of look at it as in the same ballpark as the English Cricket Team and their special lozenges or Trav Cloke's sticky glove.  There may not be a specific rule against it, but it's certainly not 100% legitimate.

    Never seen Buddy or Josh Gibson play?

    Its baby oil/massage oil, used now on arms more as a lubricant to help avoid/slip tackles

    Would not be surprised if it ends up all over the ball... maybe exacerbates the poor skills of some teams (like us)

    Maggots having a huge influence on this game. 

    Not one 50/50 that I have seen against Pies. 

    That last deliberate would not have been paid against Pies.

    It’s been one of the better umpired games this season.....Until the last quarter.

    Seriously how dumb is Rampe? Maine missed that goal and they would have had a chance to get it down the other end. Instead he blatantly runs over the mark. How is he captain? The past few weeks he has made some dumb decisions.

    Loose cannon!  Got away with post gate.  Sealed the game with this 2nd brain fart.

    I wonder what Longmire will say to him after the game?

    But how good was it seeing Neale at 1/2 time talking about the big freeze #5? Gosh that man is remarkable. 

    Anyway tomorrows game interest me now. Nth and the dogs if the story is true it will be Brad's last game. You would hate to be the bulldogs because now you know the roos will come out firing.

    Collingwood can't rely on winning this way every round... I have this strange strange feeling that in just a few weeks time they are going to be hit by a serious upset.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
