But it was under constant pressure on the ball carrier. Imagine if MFC could apply that sort of pressure across the whole ground, pressure not only on the ball carrier but on all his options up the gr

Tiges smashed the Cats, scoring an amazing 7 goals. In some quarters they slammed on 2 goals. What has happened to our game?

Suns should give it a shake at least in the first half

Let's see if there are any colli-wobbles

My MFCSS has settled in - if Suns win I wont get excited as Port have nothing to play for next week so Pies should win

Yes good point.

Takes the sizzle out of tonights game now.

What was that Free to Grundy?  Most of their set shots on goal have come from free kicks or chains from frees.  The AFL want them in the finals at almost any cost no doubt.

what about the blatent HTB not paid?!?  even the commentators couldn't believe it

Free kicks 7-3. I'm sure it will continue to expand in collingwoods favour until the last quarter to even it up

Another free kick, another goal to the pies

but the ones they aren’t paying are unbelievable. Pendlebury just dropped it in a tackle. FMD

Two more HTBs...incorrect disposal.  One definitely had prior in the middle.

What is the point of having tackles if you are not going to reward perfect tackles where the opponent incorrectly disposes the ball?

This is NOT football being played to the rules as they were intended.

The AFL really have ruined the game as we once knew it.

A little pet peeve of mine with the game of AFL, when the whistle gets blown for a free kick all the players stop and when it happens a player from the team that wins the free kick bursts away giving that team an insanely huge advantage. Yes if that player then goes onto kick it then it's 50m penalty but by stopping the play with the whistle you stop all momentum or ability for the defensive team to do their jobs because their focus is who's go the free kick.

It's something I like in Rugby union where instead of calling or whistling the free kick they put their arms out to acknowledge the action and let the play continue.

Blatant , clear as day holing the ball.

How the hell do they not see them??

Or is it a conscious decision not to pay them??

The filth have got this ... sadly.

When Greenwood (aka Matthew Newton) gets the ball, does he ever not turn it over?

True. They also have a mortgage on HTB decisions.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
