Such a boring match.

There is only one player on the ground with the surname Shaw. Why do the commentators always refer to him as Heath Shaw? (They don't use the other players Christian names.)

    It’s Been good listening on the radio today, (solid day in the garden), can hear the players, commentary not trying to become stars of the show. Well on the abc anyway.

    Good to see the Suns are aiming for another wooden spoon.

    We are safe from that methinks.

    GWS are good and Cats not too bad either. Very fast game.

    Hard not to see 0-2 coming up.

    Old filth habits die hard. Been happening since the plague of Shaw’s started playing for Collingwood.

    How about the crowds from Gladiator, complete with thumbs down from the spectators when they are not pleased with the umpires. Release the tigers (the real animals) from beneath the trapdoors underground! That'll teach them.

    On a similar note, I've always wanted to know what Garyablettjunior's first name is.

    Can not get over how bad the AFL website .  Just wow.  The Match Centre is so bad

    And to think of all the extra traffic they will be getting to see that mess.

    Agree.  It's not even consistent.  When I looked earlier today the  broadcast info for some matches was different in depending on which page you looked on (both had the revised start times).  Very hard to quickly get information. The site doesn't remember your chosen location or that you have turned off betting odds.

    I'm sure I've heard Brayshaw call him little Gary Ablett. Makes him sound like a five year old. ?

    There's only one Taylor on the ground. He always get identified as Harry Taylor. Why?

    Green always get called Toby Green. Has been for years. At least there's now some excuse for it ... another Green (debutante) playing for GWS tonight.

    Still a boring match.

    I thought the mail on Green Prior to the draft was that he was good but a risk as his injury would keep him out of most of this season? Oh surprise he is ready round 1.

    Are you thinking of Kemp?

    Green’s always been ready-made.

    I thought Clarkson being there was crap on the optics and didn’t need to be there given the current climate.

    But  we’ll agree to disagree.

    Okay now you win!

    • 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.

      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.
