Entertaining game to watch and Iā€™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.

    Iā€™m glad youā€™re enjoying the game Macca.

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

    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.

  • Quote

    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. Iā€™m not having a pop at you. Each to their own.

    That first half had a training drill vibe to it. You wonā€™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

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullartonā€™s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Caseyā€™s three matches and, with Melbourneā€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekā€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardā€™s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasnā€™t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamā€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneā€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.Ā There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.Ā Since that game, the Demonsā€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyā€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ā€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayā€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
