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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
