Well that last few minutes of Q3 with Collingwood conceding 3 goals in as many minutes was reminiscent of the Melbourne of old. 
Another nail in Buckley’s coffin?

    Wow that was some quarter. 5 goals to 2 behinds. Dom Sheed just went nuts. 

    I know he is exciting but do the commentators sometimes go a bit over the top with Nic Nat. I mean Grundy tapped it straight to Nic who ran and bounced it and JB went wild like he did something spectacular.

    He ran! And bounced it! And it NEARLY came back to him!!

    The frothing over him is extraordinary - good tap ruckman and wins some exciting clearances once or twice a game...but that’s all

    He was robbed of his best years with knee knacks - I expect if he hadn’t been so he would’ve developed into a lot more of a threat around the ground

    They get paid for talking a whole lotta gobbledygook.  BT doing the same as we post.

    The Eagles are playing a side that includes Allen, Kennedy, Darling forward. Nic Nat and Vardy in the ruck. Brander and Waterman on the wings/flanks. McGovern, Barrass and Rotham in defence. That’s 9-10 key position players.

    Is it my imagination or did Maynard skin some stinky old wombat road kill and stick the pelt on his head?

    5 goals to Allen and Darling.  Been while since a Demon kicked 5 in a game.. maybe not since McDonald kicked 6 in 2019.

    Well with Fritatta out somebody can stand up..

    I saw this on the Brad Hill thread on Bigfooty and just had to post it. 

    This is possibly one of the worst individual efforts I have ever seen, and it's a very good example of why the Saints loss to Richmond means nothing in the context of the ANZAC Eve game. No one in a Melbourne jumper is going to do this next week, that's for damn sure.

     

     

    Blimey that is one of the single worst efforts I’ve seen, and I’ve watched some truly disgraceful efforts for Melbourne players in the past. The damning part to it isn’t that he dropped the mark it’s how quickly he gave up, he’s having a terrible start to the year.

    Why do we need to have the umpires mic'd up?  Bloody irritating especially the one with the ridiculously deep "STAAAAND"  voice.  Somebody shoot me

    They'll get absolutely torched by quicker sides, especially those who have talls who can bring the ball to ground consistently and not get outmarked by the WCE talls.

    I have the utmost fear of West Coast after witnessing that harrowing day in 2018 first-hand, but I think we can legit bring it to them with our list and gameplan even over there.

    Ha I see Scomo is there. Been to more afl games in the last 3 weeks than he ever has. He'd still be learning on what's going on.

    Well, I guess that makes 3 Liberal MPs in WA today.

    Seriously, that bloke makes me sick.  Such a phoney.  Wouldn't know what an Ausie rules ball is from a soccer ball.  Sort of guy who would pretend to be interested in all the things you are just to try to look popular and hang with the cool kids.

    The Libs are hated at the moment in WA. The boos he got when on-screen were noticeable.

    Hate to say it ... but the filth weren't too bad, particularly having regard to injuries. 

    Putting that to one side, very happy to see them 1 - 4.

    The pies haven't been terrible but are 1-4. They can forget about finals this year. Could the wheels come off from here? 

    GWS must be rubbing their hands together with glee at the thoughts of where the pies first round pick will fall. Could be a Top 5 selection. Wish we held that pick.

    Not exactly the right thread, but am I alone in thinking that it’s crazy that no match is being played at the MCG on a Saturday afternoon?

    I think its a one off due to the AFLW grand final which starts at 2pm. No mens games scheduled to avoid over-shadowing the womens big day. Fair enough i reckon.

    Any other other Saturday and i would agree with you.

    Hoping the Suns can ambush the doggies today. And i wouldn't mind seeing Port come unstuck either although the downside will be a week of the media pumping Carlton's tyres.

    Dogs and Port are both the real deal. No way either is losing today, as much as I also want to see it happen.

    I'm not confident either. Neither the Suns or Carlton have been at all convincing.

    More it would be a nice surprise to see our direct rivals lose a game.

    Ah, of course. I’ll have to think about something else to be annoyed at. 
    Yes, the out of bounce deliberate rule is laughable

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
