    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. 

    That's okay Rab. Any reason is good enough to hate C'wood. You don't need to justify it. It doesn't even have to make sense. Just make sure you hate them, and all is well.

    Perhaps the AFL should add the wall of sound one hears in big international soccer games. Like the constant drone and blaring trumpets and other noisome instruments? They can add big cheers when a goal is scored.

    You're right. I'm overthinking it.

    Nope - flicked on to the racing channel, had dinner with a few mates, and watched a few minutes from time to time. Maybe it’s the lack of a crowd but never been so underwhelmed by the start of a season. Hope our game vs Eagles is better.

    Hearing that the pies won’t be singing the song is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard. By all means don’t lock arms (even though you’ve been doing it all night anyway with tackling) but for crying out loud every stand around and sing the bloody song. 

    If the Dees win on Sunday and don’t sing the song I’ll be filthy. 

    EDIT they sung it after all ?‍♂️

    Same, Spalding, we’ve all had a few distractions the last few weeks, understandable really.

    What a complete joke. There is still tackling and body contact in this sport ( although no where hard enough for what we have been used to ) but when they kick a goal they elbow tap one another and after the game they lightly tapped one another with fists. Am I seeing things here ? What an absolute f#^%@$g joke. Monty pythom could not have scripted anything like this.

    Some great meltdowns on the Doggies forum.

    For anyone thinking they arent going to get into the AFL this season due to the current corona climate ,  just wait til our boys are out there on Sunday. Thats when the season really begins.

    The Bulldogs were scared of their own shadows tonight. The coaching team will have some horrific footage to sort through post game.

    Pies were ok. Grundy was a mountain, and others did some ok things but I wan't blown away by them either, as their opponent was abysmal.

    They are probably requested to do that, and it’s probably just as much about sending a message of responsible contact to viewers, as it is for their own benefit.

    Yes it appeared the Doggies listened to much to the pre season hype on them and just thought turning up would be enough. Need to turn that lack of aggression around real quick.

    I know this is swearing in church, but I rate Buckley, he has definitely brought on some players. Supporters are also appalling, but that said I hate Weagle, Crow and Essendon (in that order) supporters more... what to do...

    so far, i don't mind the lack of crowd noise; muting the dreadful commentary from the ch 7 crew would help raise enjoyment levels, but i'm enjoying hearing the 'sounds of the game' sans audience participation

    thought the dogs would be far, far better than that - they completely looked incapable of winning contested footy, not what i expected at all

    they're going to have to do well to recover their season - in what's already a truncated year that is likely to be further reduced, that's the sort of hammering you really can't afford to have

    grundy showed once again why he's the second best ruckman in the game; bad kicking is bad football :P

    Blues had 4 first round picks run out tonight.... f k me!

    Im watching the league already. 

    Do you mean four number 1 picks?  I still find it hilarious that the blues have four on their list and another they traded away, but people still think WE got too many top picks.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
