Thanks John

i have seen Rohan talking about this on Twitter. 
2 voices that are not really suited for radio, but they do understand the game better than most

    Where does Fine reside now?

    He used to be at The Village Belle Hotel, probably more than he should have been. 
    Is he back on Radio?

    He's not..but he should be. Whether you agreed or disagreed with him, it was listenable. The post-game tripe SEN has on now is gobsmackingly bad.

    Woeful and Damien Whoever, following, is mindnumbing. I listened a couple of weeks ago then again Thursday night  (yes, mistake)and the callers, devoid of any knowlege or charisma, were a congo -line of loud-mouthed halfwits. And they don't get cut off. A license to bore me specifically, given I surely must have been the only listener. Then there's an ad for a funeral company. If ever there was a sign to stop listening, that was it.

    Adelaide season officially over.

    Will be interesting to see if the Adelaide media and followers give them a pass due to the bubble.

    Freo and WCE just scraping out of the Qld bubble.

    If we had not given them the win in Round 1 WC would be on very shaky ground. I can now see them winning the next 4 or 5 in Perth

    considering how the Media said saints so good , what happened today ?

    Andrew Brayshaw played a very good game. Helped drag Freo up to win. Would have been a very handy addition if we’d had the chance to grab him.  At 20, he’s still developing but showing signs of a top class mid.

    Ratts will be a good Coach, don’t slash your wrists over my comments 

    Goodwin has stagnated for 18 months

    I actually fully agree; I've seriously respected Ratten ever since he got the best out of our midfield waaaaaay back in a past era, and with a Carlton-supporting brother I'm very aware of how much he got out of a Blue's unit that was not as good as (ahem) Malthouse convinced the Blue's board it was.

    I would have preferred Ratten as the Roos successor and I think St Kilda are over-achieving with him at the helm at the moment.  Although, I must confess I have long believed St Kilda has been right on the edge of being a total basket case and that Richardson did well to get even the couple of respectable seasons out of him that he did.

    Stagnated for 18 months is about as neat a summary of Goodwin/Melbourne as you can get.

    I hope I didn't come across as mocking the original comment - I was just having a laugh and enjoying the spectacle of what a fickle and unpredictable game our game can be, at it's best.

    I wasn’t sure Goffy tbh

    I hope Simon gets his act together, but if we lose the next two games, i think he is in real trouble. 
     

    do i think he will make it?

    Genuinely not sure. The Players effort is still there...

    today is massive for him and although it's cliche it is one week at a time 

    good to see that he's made some changes to the side and sees some of the things we miss - it's more so the people around him that might not be good enough. Goody can be a great coach Mon - Fri, but come game day and when the heat is on you want to be surrounded by those who see the game and can make in game adjustments. 

    win this game, put it in the book then move on to next week.

    I think there's a glitch on the AFL site.  I keep opening the 'live games' tab and the Giants v Power game comes up.

    At least as a courtesy to the rest of us they could rename it 'currently occurring' because 'live' implies some kind of pulse and volition.

    Meanwhile, only two other games to wait on and we're a good chance of being the highest scoring team of the round.  If the results of those two games go right we'll be out of the bottom four despite having a game in hand.

    I've got it on TV while I get sunday-stuff done at home, just heard the commentators say at half time 'every score this game has been from a turnover'.

    If that is 1st vs 7th, we're definitely in with a shot this year!

    Healy kept putting the mozz on them. Also we saw the dirtiest intentional bump this year so far

    Swans tigers - heeney clearly gets hit in the head after his kicked, should’ve been downfield and a report. 

    BT - doesn’t look like he got his in the head.

    My god these muppets are so so stupid. They get paid to be so so stupid and completely miss obvious things.

    Is it just me or is anyone else sick of the following line from the commentators:

    ”How good is it to have a crowd here today”.

    Way to keep reminding Victorians that they a) Can’t go to the footy and b) Can’t do anything.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • 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.
