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!

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
