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.

    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: 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.
