happy listening to Daisy on the coverage.   Love to see the blues get up.   Getting sick of the niknat fawning at the moment by commentators.

    Glad someone else is sick of the praise around niknat. Yeah he’s been good with hit outs but gets nothing of the ball around the ground. I’d take gawn every day of the week.

    Carlton have one bullet proof player, who umpires love even more than WC players..WC should still win.

    West Coast are playing like they just had to show up for the points. They are paying the price for it so will wait and see what happens after 1/2 time.

    Trouble is, they never really pay the price. I actually struggle watching games in the West because they get such a great run. I.e.

    1. the holding the ball decision on Seeton cost a goal
    2. the Darling 'dive' cost a goal

    So whilst Carlton are 13 or so points ahead, it's not a reflection

    Umpiring has been shocking with the htb rulings during the baggers v weagles game. Great to see umpiring standards haven’t changed (then miraculously get better during finals)

    So true...

    As I'm watching, I'm convinced that if they play the GF in Perth it's handing West Coke the flag

    Its just bamboozling this season. 

    Rewarding players for standing off and waiting to tackle the player having a crack at the ball. Then pin the ball to them.

    The amount of times its the tackler(s) who are holding and dragging the ball in and then getting rewarded is sickening.

    It does nothing to speed the game up.

    Eagles have a solid lead today in the Free Kick count - who would have thought

    Wonder what the season tally will look like with 85% home games...??

    So now WC is up by 11 points with at least 2 goals that were dead set wrong. A game in the balance is probably no longer.

    Better than playing a bunch of thugs(mark 2) in Port's territory...

    They're paying $5 for the flag. Probably easy money if it's a home granny.

    Not sure I agree there Willmoy

     

    Cripps is crying out for a rest. Must be carrying a few niggles. They’d benefit a lot more from him being fit than struggling through each game

    West Coast have been woeful throughout the game but they put on a show for about five minutes and suddenly lead by 11 points. Reminiscent of the last five minutes of the first quarter of round 1.

    They are good at that, but it is a trait of a quality team.

    They could realistcially have experimented with putting him at full forward.  A bit less of a bashing for him, and Carlton are bereft, bereft I tells ya, due to injured to forwards. 

    I thought Carlton had flown past us and are closer to a flag? ?

    Injury fecalised their season.  Won't know where they really are until next year. but I expect us to be playing them in finals in 2021.

     

    Remaining Round 11 Games:

    • Tonight:  Cats vs Saints and Dockers vs Hawks
    • Tuesday night:  Crows vs Pies
    • Wednesday night:  Suns vs Ess

    We are 9th on the ladder.  Have bolded the teams I would like to see lose to max our chances of overtaking them or be further ahead of them to make the 8. 

    Then we play Pies, Bulldogs and probably Ess (in Alice, a real Home game).  All immensely winnable games.

    Dare I dream that after round 14 we are 8/5 ??

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
