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...

Tonight: The Drug Cheats (2005-06) v The Drug Cheats (2012)

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! 

To wave the flags


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: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
