Both matches are at Metricon . They need to give all facilities a thorough clean before the next 2 teams enter the ground. 

They always were at Metricon

The time of the Suns match was delayed to give them a Sunday afternoon TV game in place of ours.

TV rules..especially this season

ridiculous that they can't stream our practice match because of broadcast rights

 

There is no form line so far this year. Most clubs don't seem to be able to come to play week to week or even quarter to quarter, and then you have WC sooking it up about the hubs.

Let's wait for Port today who might be the only side to put in three strong performances.

Collingwood not too far off.

Everyone else has put in at least one sub-par performance. In a normal season, that would be a refreshing positive.

I think our lapse against Carlton needs to be put into this perspective.

Yes, after looking at regular upsets and clubs having good and bad quarters in a game I'm looking at the Carlton game a bit differently.


Goodness, Crows need Ricciuto to put the boots back on.

 

This season is mainly irrelevant for the power clubs. Their memberships are full, they get the TV money and the variable... crowd receipts is irrelevant this year (you can't make money on socially distanced crowds). One more loss for the Eagles or the Crows and they may as well mothball a few players for the season

For minnows like us we need to sell the hope of next season but I suspect that come round 7or so we'll be packing our tents.


The AFL will be loving this. Another leg up last year for the Suns, who have enjoyed 10 years of draft concessions. The talent was already there and a few other clubs had better claims to priority picks, but they could not risk their babies failing. I hate the expansion sides

never forget, they're FRANCHISES not clubs

AFL should take away some draft picks from Gold Coast this year.

Absolutely. Trading away their future mid round 1 pick now looks like smart move. Not sure what extra picks they have left but unless they fall off a cliff surely they would have to be rescinded.


God Matt Rowell is an absolute gun. 
 

Wish he was playing for us. 

Great to see the crows are the basket case of the AFL. It’s great viewing.

You're not doing it right, OX.  It needs to be:

Gee Rowell is a gun.  I can't believe we didn't trade all of our picks this year and next to get pick one so we could draft him.  What a missed opportunity from us again.  

On the other hand, the Crows are absolutely pathetic.  One goal to three quarter time against the reigning wooden spooners.

crows look devoid of 'spirit', whatever that intangible may mean

Good, hopefully it lasts for a few seasons.

Let’s not get too carried away with GC.

They always start the season hot and then fall in a heap by round 8 as injuries and fatigue mount.

They’ll probably get out of the bottom 4 for the first time in 6-7 years though.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
