    only solution is do away with interchange

    coaches will have the choice of run their team into the ground or start resting onballers deep and keeping them deep

    guess what the will choose

    Should not teams have the choice if they want adavantage. Why does the umpire assume in cases where a player may not know the free was paid?

    Yep. The root cause is the interchange

    it all started in the mid nineties

    Games are so low scoring.  Is it the poor conditions or is the game just becoming a sump? Not attractive for viewers this ping pong and grind.

    Geelong’s disposal is Melbourne like. 

    Richmonds pressure has been amazing, Geelong have looked a little Melbourne like under the pressure. I would hate to think how we would be going tonight though.

    I don't mind close games but this is just boring. Seriously Geelong have been the inform team and they have kicked only 1 goal and it's nearly 3/4 time. Even melbourne can do better than that. 

    Credit to dimma and his team for doing there homework but gee Chris your team looks horrible. 

    Lynch doing his hammy is interesting.

    Just watched a little bit of the current match. Cats playing their keepings off game but the Tigers are all over them when they miss a target.

    Not that I'm expecting GC to cause an upset against Collingwood but tonight's result will make it highly unlikely that Port Adelaide drop out of the top 2 places even with a loss to them in the last game which could be a problem for us if it comes down to that result.

    Cats might win this!

    Agreed. Drink heavily but importantly you must put the tv on mute lest you find out about a players uncle used to be boxer or some nonsense

    Flag favourites score 1 goal in 3 quarters

    Wow where do the tigers get all their energy from? It's almost like watching a team off a bye play a team off a 5 day break!

    Mismatched rest periods have been the worst thing about this season. I wanna see the win percentages for teams off 4 day and 5 day breaks.

    Oh Tom, there was still 5 minutes on the clock. No need to rush it. Instead of making it exciting and getting it back to 9 you rush it and they run it up the other end and get a goal killing the game off.

    mini come back from Geelong saved that game from absolute mediocrity.

    Time to reduce team sizes to 20 or 21 and reduce rotations.

    Everyone is sick of 30 players in one eighth of the ground

    Richmond are a very good side but there creeping up my list of most hated clubs quickly. I am so sick of Jack and Tom turning to the umpire complaining they didn’t get a free kick every time they don’t mark it and Hardwick is their coach so that doesn’t help. I really hope they don’t win the flag this year.

    • 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.
