I wish they'd increase the volume on the fake crowd and drown out the commentators.  I've watched a lot of old matches recently and the quality of commentating was so much better.  

People say the world started turning to [censored] when Bowie died, but I think it was Dennis Cometti’s retirement that got those wheels turning.

    That was a dire half of footy, and from 2 of the top 4 sides in the comp no less.

    Sidebottom is an out and out superstar! 

    18 possessions in two shortened quarters........outstanding

    Pendlebury is better than he’s ever been tonight. Skills of majority of players in the game are better than they’ve ever been. Fitness as well.
     

    AFL as a spectacle is terrible at present.

    Definitely needs at least another 10 rule changes.

    Picked the Pies by 3 points but the game is just not fun to watch, I am not sure why. At least it’s close ;)

    It has been for a while.

    It's radical, but I don't mind the idea of zones to stop 36 players just following the ball around.

    If Tigers win by under a goal the headline will be that video decision giving Higgins the shot.

    How did they stuff that up? Clearly over the line on first viewing. Pathetic that commentators don't speak up.

    BT did and said it was wrong and Carey sought of agreed with him.

    Don't like the shortened quarters.

    ...but then again, I'm not liking the game all that much.

    No atmosphere, No energy. Nobodies fault but it is a fact

    Boo to short quarters and low scoring games. Hooray to a draw. A loss for both sides.

    Other than one decent mark by ?? and Sidebottom's first half that game was forgettable.

    Let's remember the AFL picked it.

    Collingwood unlucky to lose/draw

    watching post match, should the MCG invest in some better chairs for the players? They are loaded! Out with Bunnings white plastic chairs and in with some luxury style leather chairs

    Pies zone defence. They stopped Tigers run.  But you need to score!!! 

    Riewoldt? Rioli? Did they play?? Absolutely missing all night. 

    Then Reiwoldt with a shot 30 out fails to score.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
