NON MFC: Round 4

At some point a couple of teams will get their heads straight and rise a whole level above the rest.  Then we'll be watching 10-goal drubbings which are really 100+ point smashings, and just counting down the season to see which one sustains it through the finals.

On the bright side, with so much of the results being even more between the ears than usual, it is possible for just about any team to suddenly start running hot and becoming a late contender.

    Well another night of turning down the sound so as i don't have to listen to Taylor. So bias towards Wobbles.They (umpires) apparently cannot see trips, pushes and throws, just to name a few faults in the second qtr. Never knew there was a new rule of " not high" if Wobbles do that either. GWS stepped up a gear this week and i hope they pummel the mob that could be in a lot of trouble if they aren't careful.

    super congested and contested

    low scoring suits the filth, but it keeps the oppo in the game...see also last year's prelim

    Not a great game...yet again.

    Let's hope they can break the mould in the 2nd half otherwise it looks like a good book and an early night.

    GWS players need to start calling for the ball and not having 2 -3 people go up in a marking contest and spoil each other. 

    DeBoer doing a great job on sidebottom. 

    Come on giants beat the filth.

    Compared to North and Bulldogs this is a free flowing game for the Giants.

    The Cox selection appears wrong but I like watching him

    Gawn v Grundy?? Grundy loves to tap  it straight to the opposition!! 

    The pies are well coached and have improved their kicking skills out of sight, hoping we can do the same!

    But I think Gawn is better then Grundy and Trac way better the degoye

    Actually its a good game. Collingwood back in it,

    Davis doing his hammy is a massive loss for the giants. 

    Greene passing off to Cameron was just stupid. I hope Cameron didn't call for the cheap one out the back to get an easy goal. Greeen should have just gone back and put it through.

    Jeremy Howe gone.

    Green has played a huge role in this last quarter to get them over the line with limited TOG as well

    Mummy had the better of Grundy imo (just)...nullified him and squared many contests.

    Might be one of those injuries where it looks worse than it actually is.

    Unfortunately I think it looks as bad as it is...his  leg buckled.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.

    • 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.
