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.

    Simply hate watching footy televised from the SCG. So scrappy.

    Surely that wasn't Margetts making another mistake

    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.

    We're all on the spectrum, Ethan.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
