    Agree with you about the Bombers, but the Pies are right up there in the good lovin' the umps dish out. Not many teams go to Perth and end up plus 3 for frees. Both Ess and Coll are very much part of the AFL's agenda.

    Ben Cunnington has done it again

    I am still [censored] off from when he hit Bernie Vince. He needs to be dealt with. The MRP won’t touch him

    It looked like he actually punched the ball which was being held by Merrett. Possibly the inside of this forearm was over the shoulder.

    With his back to the umps, Merrett milked it for all its worth, got up spritley and took the kick.

    Over the shoulder free? Ok. Punch to the gut or head? No.

    But the media will manufacture outrage from it and he'll get a week for appearances.

    Collingwood win, bummers win. Not a great 48 hours. 

    Crows already 22 up over the suns at 1/4 time. That could be a nasty result for the suns.

    Fact is, I often look to deep mismatch games like that with an edge of hope, looking for someone to replace the 186 misery. Would you believe I put myself through watching the 'highlights' on youtube the other day? Quite the experience, and here we are with Adelaide kicking a goal every three minutes and it still isn't enough to compete with that dark dark moment.

    Never forget. Always seek revenge. Against everyone. Like Captain Colostomy.

    Meanwhile, we all have to rely on Port and the Crows to keep Essenscum out of finals. How odious.

    I was sitting next an Eagles mate last night who tried telling me Margetts never gives them anything.  Margetts had just given a 50/50 Pies way, but I couldn't contain myself, just looked at my mate and said are you for feckin real

    Gold Coast teams don't work, that place is cursed! It's almost like they need to build the team from scratch again.

    Reminds me of the 2007 Grand Final party I went to. Nearly everyone had lost interest after half time and retired to the rear deck. Sometime in the last quarter they were surprised when one of the few still watching the TV let out a massive joyous holler. I was celebrating. Port had just acquired the biggest losing grand final margin of all time. ’88 could sink a little further into the depths of history.

    The Gold Coast need to be killed off. But the AFL won’t do it. 

    They will drain the talent pool further...

     

    nothing survives up there except Concrete and Corruption....

    I am the same. My hopes are raised when there is a likely thrashing but it never gets remotely close to 186. I still live in hope though ?

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
