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.

Shocking decision, video evidence 

What do they look at??

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

Yawn.


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: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
