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

    Yawn.


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

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

    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

    Then Reiwoldt with a shot 30 out fails to score.

    Small sample, but as the game wore on the lethargy was really apparent. Here's hoping DB has our boys still in good knick.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
