Entertaining game to watch and I’m sure enjoyable for the players. Reminds me of an all-star game, ball zipping around the G, bruise free footy, good goal-kicking practice.

Neither of these teams play finals this year.

You're wrong

You've just become accustomed to congested garbage (like many others)

What do you want? ... 6 goals vs 5 goals for a whole match with a million stoppages and no ball movement

I'd rather eat a ****t sandwich that watch scramble-ball

The stage is set for plugger McDonald to kick the winnerĀ after the siren.Ā 

 

I don't how you lot kept watching the boundary hugging negative garbage that was served up for 5+ years.

Scramble ball with a million stoppages.

Ugh

Anti-football and you kept watching?Ā  Easily pleased or just plain addicted

These threads on the other games are getting a stack more traffic than in previous years.Ā  Usually full of people moaning incessantly about umpiring decisions

And it's not about the extra goals either ... attacking footy slam dunks congested boundary hugging rubbish every day of the week

Enjoy!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say.

A little more pressure for mine.

I’m glad you’re enjoying the game Macca.


It would be humorous to see Carlscum win from here, because they have been bog ordinary.Ā

Cripps is so overrated by the MediaĀ

Agree with this. Enjoyable game to watch, but both these clubs have significant issues and I don't have either in my top 8.

If you don't like it turn it off then (I'll bet you don't!)

As previously stated,Ā  you've become accustomed to congested footy so much that now you miss it.Ā 

We humans are like that!Ā  We are creatures of habit

And it is not bruise-free either ... fast attacking footy was the norm for decades and it was never classed as bruise-free in that time. Ā 

You play in front of your man in a game like this and you can still get thumped in the back of the head (repeatedly)

No room for the faint-hearted out there even though the congested garbage is at a minimum


Also Collingwood surely have someone else they could try at FF ahead of Cox! How he keeps getting a game is unbelievable.

And where's all the kicking backwards and time wasting tactics? Another blight on the sport that might be a thing of the past

Anti-football and bloody boring

No fights in the crowd either is my guess ... the eyes are glued to the actual game

One simple man on the mark rule changes things for the better ... who would have thought?

Teams are compelled to attack otherwise they lose

Relax Macca. I’m not having a pop at you. Each to their own.

That first half had a training drill vibe to it. You won’t see that in finals.

Enjoy the rest of the game.

I totally disagree though 'Betters' ... I did not see it (the first half) as a training drill in any way shape or form

I see the game tonight as a return to the way footy was once played

You are half right though ... I am still fuming and angry about the dross that has been served up in the last 5 years or so.Ā 

You watch the ratings and crowds soar if we keep seeing footy like we're seeing tonight.Ā  Covid got the viewers back but ultimately the game needs to entertain the masses


Great tackleĀ Adams. Reckon he'll get the 3 votes tonight.Ā 

Hearing the commentators raving about Darcy Moore being the best defender in the AFL as Mckay kicks his 4th on him a minute later.

Steven May is the best defender in the league you cretins.

The Pies have enough talented players to feature in the finals ... they're not a flag threat but they've got about the same chance of playing finals as what we have

One could argue that they have a better forward line and we break even in the midfield.Ā  We might have a better backline

Carlton lack composure & poise ... 8-9 wins max

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.Ā  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
