Why were they playing loud music over the PA before the game when there was nobody even there to get deafened by it?

    wonder if they played those incredibly loud half time ads as well. There was one shot of an ad on the scoreboard that I noticed in the Ch 7 coverage but I was not sure if it was live or CGI.

    Found the Virgin airlines ad they were running when goals were kicked rather ironic not to mention the NAB ad for all those successful businesses.

    Prestia was BOG last night. Comprehensively beat Cripps and was a key driver in Tigers win. Cripps won lots of clearances by had zero impact on the match. Very overrated player IMO.

    Jack Martin player very well. Shame he’s not in red and blue, but good to see him playing well. Hopefully fans see more of it as he’s a joy to watch when he’s on.

    Surprisingly Weitering gave Lynch a bath. Good sign for the former 1 pick.

    Tigers were in second gear most of the night so it was a pretty average game. There was very little intensity and not many tackles laid. Even when Carlton got a run in, you never thought they’d win and it was just a matter of time until guys like Cotchin did just enough to carry the Tigers to an easy win.

    Watched about ten minutes and was bored stupid.

    BUT am I mistaken, or was there a security guard stationed on his chair on the Southern Stand wing??? Just there to retrieve over the fence - can't think of any other reason for him being there.

    The opening round is an anomaly in that it is played over four days but given that we are starved for sport I see no reason why we shouldn't play the crowd free games over say five nights each week. Yes I know there will be a few short turn arounds but it will benefit the lesser clubs such as ours with increased exposure.

    Other than the Perth crowd very few will be watching us on a Sunday afternoon this week.

    Not having a VFL is going to be hard for players coming in to replace injured players.

    Luke Hodge is the best thing about Channel 7 commentary.

    This is hard what with no crowd atmosphere, it’s all a bit flat but my real problem looking at last night and then this game it is reminding me So much of AFLX! Bugger all physicality, there is tackling but it is so often ineffective. This is not doing a lot for me. Oh and the umpires had a big impact early last night with so many frees in front of goal and they have managed the same tonight.

    Not sure which is worse. Having no crowd noise or having to listen to James Brayshaw commentating...

    Brayshaw still needs to yell over the non existent crowd

    He's been great...

    Trouble is these guys are great when they are just out of the game then they drift in with the rest as the seasons go by.

    Ling was good in his first year as a commentator but look at him now....

    Now that Collingwood have been reduced to their constituent parts so to speak I realise that it's their fan base and Eddie that makes me loath them, not so much the guys running around in black & white stripes.

    • 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.

    • 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.
