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. 

 

Sheesh, lucky the Pies have the Suns next week. What a hammering so far.

Richmond looking unbeatable.

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

Clever of AFL to have Maggots in YELLOW  !!!

I couldn’t stand another Richmond flag for family reasons, cocky bunch they are, I totally agree with you though FITB.

Agree back at ya DZ. How unbearable, I don't even want to imagine it.


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

Is Buckley the Right Guy?

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.

Eddie, mate, nobody's listening, because nobody gives a flying.

Bye, have a great weekend!

King King Eddie...

Should be unemployed

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.

Brian is just so bad as a commentator, i think he is actually getting worse!!

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

Don't think it'll be too long now.

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
