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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
