i disagree; he's no daisy but he's better than ling, bartel, or most others

i wonder what crowd this dreamtime game will get given the weather?

amazing how meth coke just keep winning despite not looking good; sure the umpire's helped but they know that they're never out of it

each to their own, but his interviews at the end of games are not even up to Ling or Richo level.  His comments add nothing (in fact, tonight he simply repeated what the main commentators said about the ball dropping short in the wet.)  Zero added value or insight.

 

Looks like we will be playing in similar conditions tomorrow.....

Actually they are bloody good compared to what they were when many on Demonland were young.  There was a time when the most reliable prediction was tomorrow the same as today.  Fast computers, better models and more input data have made a big difference.

Ah so they pay out, so no more people put bets on, i see.......thanks DJ, that makes more sense

Gotta love the forward handball game the tigers have. Awesome to watch when up and running.

Ling!? I'm sorry but this moron carried on last year down at the cattery after they beat us by a kick as if they had won a granny! I respected Ling as a player but as a commentator, he is a [censored].

Richmond is just simple.

I like McAdam, doesn't get involved with the pathetic immature banter that the likes of Taylor, Hamish and other [censored] themselves over.

Ablett can’t keep his hands down. Nice little jab on Miles’ chin. Let’s see how this plays out.

Miles clearly chin-butted Ablett’s fist. He should cop a week downgraded to a fine along with a written apology to Ablett.

Intentional, medium, high is two weeks. Even if argued to be low impact, he still gets a week. 

Surely Christian can’t deem this one as unintentional.

I bet on the tigers to win the wooden spoon over a decade ago, had a fair bit on it as well and with about 6 rounds to go Sportsbet paid out. Tigers ended up winning a few and getting off the bottom.

Sportsbet do it for the publicity. I’m still talking about it.

Much better angle of Ablett. If AFL fair dinkum he gets a week. He just punches Miles in the bottom of the jaw https://t.co/ZYNdxayZOL

 

 

wow, its like Ablett is trying to get suspended.   Im sure the protected pansy  will be let off again

My guess is Christian will deem it as insufficient force. Nothing to see here. 

Next week, Ablett roundhouse kicks someone’s head off.

Christian will say Miles was staging and practically call him a sook.

No way did it look like 80,000 plus at the G from the TV, a Richmond mate at the game isn’t paying it either. Did they take pre sales into account?

What's up with Ablett, it's like after the first one he's got a taste for it - he's got the bloodlust.

Just like a dog that gets the taste for fresh blood, Gary better be put down.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
