If we and WC win tomorrow we will be 3 games clear inside the top 4. After just 7 games. Golly. 

I don't think maths is your strong suit

    Must have their eye on someone in the mid season draft.

    I tipped the suns. Collingwood are decimated by injuries. Nothing Buckley can do about it.

    Yes, that's the spirit. I hope that's how the media portray their lack of system and willingness to bring adequate workrate. It might just get Buckley another contract.

    Collingwood were decimated with injuries for much of 2018 and because their system was working, they made a GF. 

    Buckley will be gone by 2022.

    24k at the MCG in perfect weather on a Saturday. I know they're at the bottom, but their fans really have dropped off something shocking. In the same position, it's roughly what we'd get to a game like that. They have maby more fans than us though. [censored] poor from them.

    how much time was on the clock at that stage?

    if he milked the 30 secs he would be kicking on an impossible angle with no run around

    6 seconds. It's likely he wouldn't have kicked it in time. That might have been even funnier.

    Will speak to my neighbour as he was involved in making the banner yesterday. Great ammo for me. Haha

    Just spoke to my neighbour regarding Collingwood's banner mistake. Older volunteers cut out the letter's and figures from a memo issued by the club (which had the spelling mistake) and the cheersquad assembled it to the "club memo". The mistake was pointed out to them but we saw the result.

    As my neighbour pointed out to me Collingwood have far bigger problems than a misspelt banner.

    That's all for TONIHGT folks.

    Just watched the last 2min of the Swans/Cats match, definitely think the Cameron mark went 15m but he would’ve been kicking after the siren so by no means an easy goal. The HTB at the end siren been any whistle anyway and it was 50/50 at best. 

    They got a lucky one against the Lions (and have had a bunch against us) so it’s about time one went the other way. Have a sook Scott!!!!

    I thought it was genuinely a deliberate joke seeing as they had made the same mistake in the past.

    Exactly, even putting aside their huge number of members it’s the fact that hey have so many supporters and still pull an awful crowd that makes it so bad.

    The cats got a dud call last night, which will get all the focus and attention, but they have no one to blame but themselves for lsing that game. They kept the swans in the game through their own poor goal kicking then choked badly in the last 5 mins to concede those goals. 

    Should be a ripper next sat night at the G

    We will have a boil over game and you lot will react on here like your favourite Star Wars character was replaced by a woman.

    Long season, all teams have weaknesses and we are the only ones with ours not yet exploited. There is no super team and that is great considering the last time we got close.

    Footy is good atm.

    ...

    And [censored] Geelong. Lel.

    "Nothing Buckley can do..." I had to do a double take on that sentence from @godees as I thought at first it was an ingenious reworking of his name. A nickname for him and the silverware that's evaded him all these years for shafting Brisbane! Nothin' Buckley. ??

    Probably the same cheer squad members then and now.

    If you hate Geelong that was a most enjoyable finish to the game against the Swans to watch.

    Just watched the last two mins also, amongst all that noise I’m sure you can just hear the ump say “play on....touched” first after it was kicked in Cameron’s direction.

    I honestly don’t know if the top of the ladder or the bottom is more fun to look at, at the moment. All the most annoying teams on the bottom. Just need the Cats to slide more. threw away a 30 pt lead against an injury depleted swans. Beautiful

    I hate the Cats. They are arrogant. Chris Scott is painful.
    But they were robbed. Clearly Cameron’s mark should have been paid. The kick went at least 15 metres.

    Same sentiment Spirit. 
     

    The real issue is umpires changing their decision making based on the state of the game or it’s location

    Honestly have no idea who’ll win between bombers v blues and the WA derby. Toss of a coin in both I reckon. 

    WC’s injuries are brutal. No McGovern or Barass their defence looks shaky

    I can’t believe I want Essendon to win (?), but it would be pretty funny if Carlton lose this one. Collingwood and Carlton in the gun all week, while we hopefully sit on top of the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
