    Feel for Rowell. Shoulders can be a frustrating heal sometimes. I don't feel for GC though. The AFL's baby. F em.

    Appears to be a new rule. 
    Players taking a kick outside the boundary line, aren’t being made to bring the ball in over the mark, but rather are being allowed to continue on outside the line . Should be thrown in, as soon as they play on or kick it outside the line.

    Move sideways off the line and its play on.  If the ball is fully over the boundary line, it must be out of bounds.?  

    And as you say,  should then be the umpires ball to throw in.

    Gold Coast doing a better job at the moment at countering Geelong’s movement of the football than we did last week. 

    That wouldn’t be hard Whisp. Most teams can counter it except us.

    Even the coach said we didn’t know how to get the ball back. That says a lot.

    Be interesting to see how we get outcoached this week. So many options.

    If you’re taking a kick outside the boundary line, you can play on, or switch the kick. You don’t have to kick the ball directly over the mark. Is that what you mean?

    But if you do play on outside the boundary line and Then hesitate while being outside the boundary line, then it should be thrown in. If you play and commit to it, without hesitation then it’s play on.

    We had King right in front of our door step.

    Questions need to be asked who the [censored] ticked off in trading it away for May.

    This is the job of the recruiting staff and list management team. Messed it up, there's no way around it.

    Umpires must have a sneaky punt on cats. They call things differently depending on the colours of the jumper.

    we lost a forward; we should have been drafting a forward

    hindsight is 20/20 but goddamn....

    A part of me wants to be at ease that Luke Jackson can be our Ben King..

    GC skills dropped off half way through 3 quarter.

    What, you can run outside the boundary line, past the mark and keep running there, out of play  until you kick it in and that is ok. I don’t think so.

    To be fair, after the 2018 finals we probably thought Weideman was the next King brother. 

    There’s not much fairness hereabouts.  But I see the GC who have passed us according to the doomsayers don’t seem to be losing to Cats by just a few points.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
