Starts tonight. 

After this round the ladder will be meaningful again.

Good to see Roughy is back for the Hawks - a bit of sentiment by Clarkson perhaps.  Allow him to play vs one of his best mates, Buddy one last time.

    Geelong are woeful after the bye so Port might be good money at $2.80??

    Reckon Brisbane might have another road setback, this time against St Kilda.

    Sydney should keep Hawthorn to a very low score.

    Hopefully Essendon get flogged tonight.

    I absolutely detest Thursday night football (other than when the following day is a public holiday). I'm not ready for it and it also diminishes the enjoyment of football on the subsequent Saturday and Sunday because there is one fewer game to follow. Having it in the same weeks as some teams have a bye and there is football on a Monday (Queen's Birthday) just makes it worse as the football product just seems sporadic rather than intense.

    But maybe that's just me...

    John Worsfold of course knows nothing about it, and as a Qualified Chemist I believe him....

    Each to their own.

    I like Thursday Night Footy. It Feels like the weekend has come early and it gives you something to look forward to during your Thursday work day.

    Hopefully they can increase TNF from 8 this year to 11 next year.

    it's an absolute disgrace "The Architect" of brushing everything under the carpet between 2001 and 2007 Trevor Nesbitt is still CEO.

    He was told exactly what was going on by Ken Judge

    I see the Bombers have been dealt the old Dalgliesh/Margetts in Perth double. Good luck with that lads!

    Just talking to a mate about Margetts. WC must punch the sky when they see their number one ticket holder is umpiring.

    Perhaps the “AFL Integrity Unit” ??? should look into it?

    Seriously, it doesn’t look good for the (minuscule residual) integrity of the game.

    Really the goal umpire can’t see that was a goal? It was a metre past the goalpost. Why pay them to even be there!

    Righto, hands up, who really likes roaming knucklehead?

    The half time promo for it was sickening. Basically telling viewers it's what they really want.

    Personally I don't really care, some are good, some duds, but to ram it down our necks. Please. BT is a dead set clown though.

    Absolute garbage. This game, the state of the game in general.

    It really is. I switched over from last night's Wc v Ess game halfway the through second quarter to watch John Candy in the mid-80's comedy classic 'Uncle Buck'. I thoroughly enjoyed it and didn't switch back again.

    Only last halfway through the second of tonight's game. The AFL product quality is diminishing. It was never this boring in the 80's,  90's and 00's. The thrills are being suffocated out of it.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
