    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.

    I forgot next week is a dead rubber for Port. 

    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

    to argue against myself - there will be a bye and Port will want to take good form into finals

    How interesting would it be if tonight’s game was a draw?

    Collingwood loss is much more preferable. There's enough scenarios going on

    Suns are having a real crack

    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.

    New rule. If tackled drop the ball.

    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.

    • 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.
