Gutsy calls by Pyke to drop Eddie and Hinkley to drop Dixon.

Also a gutsy call a few weeks for Teague to drop McGovern for being unfit, not to return until he is.  Big call for a coach wanting to win every game.  Good on him for setting standards early.

Good examples of difficult calls to maintain the integrity of selection decisions and set behavioural standards; Walk-the-Talk.

The ever classy Betts:  “Yes a bit disappointed on being dropped,” Betts said.  “But at the same time super excited that this kid gets another run at AFL level, turn it on little brother.”

    I think I want the tigs to beat the pies. 

    If there can be some miracle performed so the suns can beat essendon this week that would be great, but it won't happen. 

    I reckon Carlton can beat the crows.

    Richmond looking unbeatable.

    2 very high quality talls and the resting ruck. Following that up with remarkable skill when the ball hits the deck.

    Tigers coming good at the right time of year, will be flag favourites after tonight if they weren’t already

    Yeah, at least for another couple years.

    Injuries + loss of confidence = sound familiar?

    Collingwood board on Bigfooty is in meltdown atm.

    There is a huge disconnect between Grundy and their mids atm. They are quite literally struggling in the same areas we are.

    Yep, and with a game plan that is closest in style to ours of any team.

    But hold on, i thought the pies, cats, west coast slow, chip it around, cross to the fat side  and maintain possession model is unbeatable and  where the game is heading and Goody has failed to keep up with premiership winning trend in footy.

    I'm confused. Perhaps that's the not the case after all.

    Commentator watch:  Mr Ling was able to say ‘lowered the eyes’ three times in about 20 seconds.  A pumpkin that love the sounds that his farty breath makes.  Severn team are ‘boisterous briahhhn, creepy Bruce and special comments from the peanut brigade.

    Every time De Geoy goes near the ball he looks for a free kick. Arms flapping and head flying back

    I am very angry that Eddie has been allowed to stay in the Media unscathed, after his King Kong comments, twice...

    It really stinks

    “They’re a couple of good looking boys, Eddie’s kids” - Bruce going full creepy ped. 

    I didn’t year that but a couple of comments later were ...... well, quite creepy.

    Sad really.  Gone on far too long.  Was one of my favorites early on.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
