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!

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
