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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
