Brisbane amazingly wasteful in front of goals. 31 inside 50s

Rich 14 inside 50s for 8 scoring shots

    Lions have the top 5 possession getters so far

    The umpiring isn't helping their cause, but Brisbane are really kicking themselves out of this. They are absolutely dominating Richmond but kicking nothing but points.

    In Malaysia.. China time so very good  for having a sports bonanza

    32 degrees and I can hear the waves slowly crashing on the Straits of Malacca. Time for the first G and T of the evening

    At least I'm getting some use from my Kayo subscription

    Thx DJ.  No finals for us, howling winds, pissing down off and on all day and the filth / GWS circus both winning through.

    Kayo is good though ?

    Must say their continual bombing of the ball into the forward line in the first quarter reminded me of something

    I think the premiers will come from this side of the draw. WC the only threat on the other side of the draw

    You don't rate the Pies?

    I personally don’t think so Rusty. It was reported a few days ago WCE have made a major play to lure him back home. Just what they need, more damaging small forwards.

    The Tigers are a notch above the Lions with ball use & movement once the ball gets outside.  Pressure around the pill is also a tad more intense.

    They structure up around the ball quicker and more effectively also.

    If there is no clear chance of winning possession they bunt, wack, slap or kick the ball off the ground and keep it alive but always attempting to move it forward to gain ground and put opponent under further pressure.

    Will take a major effort to beat in the GF.  They will be there me thinks.

    No.. without  DeGoey I just don't see them kicking enough goals.

    They were so much better last year with Cox as their focal point.

    Can Pendlebury and Sidebottom play blinders again this year as well.

    They can if you don't put (or have) decent run with options on them as Scott decided to do for the first half last night.

    Speaking of which, what the hec was Scott thinking with a starting set up that had a wet rookie 9 gamer in Narkle starting in the middle against such a solid mid field opponent?  Crazy $hiiit!

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
