Happy to see a number of clubs go backwards this year . Tigers - we beat them in the practise game and against Swans showed they have been to the well too many times . Might just make the 8 as the middle of the ladder looks very even and weak . Brisbane , West Coast and not sure about Cats and PA yet .

Cameron has me worried .

The big improvers with a chance are the Dees and Dogs . Swans too young .

    This could turn out to be another dream weekend: we win and Essendon and Collingwood lose.

    Went to the G to watch the Hawks game . Been too long away and a lot seemed to have changed .

    The ad boards move sideways during the game which was a terrible distraction . We won't get rid of them but stop moving them while play is happening .

    Then the GOAL , GOAL , GOAL after each 6 pointer  screaming from the speakers smashing atmosphere ( for me anyway as I like crowd noise ) . This really [censored] me off .

    Entertainment before and after the game with the game left alone in the middle . I am a traditionalist . Leave the Test alone !

    Threads like this are popping up on Demonland, on other supporter forums, and even on Bigfooty.

    Alas, [censored] marketing managers who have only ever dealt with 'products' and transcations instead of community institutions and relationships are very sure they know better and none of the deeper stuff fits on a spreadsheet anyway.

    I'm happy we're moving up the ladder and not just for the obvious reason...

    If you watch the North Collingwood game...is that 17th v 18th?

    They must get the worst of the umpires.

    The standard of umpiring is appalling.

    To think that's what we had to put up with week in, week out.

    It's still bad, but touch wood, not that bad.

    Well said, I’m so with you on that.

    The advertising boards at the footy are atrocious.

    Who the F allows them to be that prominent and that bad. MCC selling our soul i guess? These boards are such a huge distraction during games especially twilight. They seemed to just come along and nobody even said boo about it. Good to see it at least being mentioned here. Im not sure if where you sit makes any difference?

    The above poster @Craig Hutchinsonis correct in saying at least stop them moving during play.

    Petition anyone?

    All three games today have been horrible with horrible umpiring. Skill levels way down. Suns threw it away, Giants should have sewn it up, lucky to hang on. Pies, ha ha! It will go down as the master coach Buckley outwitted the wiley, devilishly tricky Kangaroos. In fact the Kangas just can't kick or mark. Or handball. But it keeps Buckley in the job another week ... keep it up Pies!

    Agree 100% rjay - some of the worst umpiring I’ve seen

    We're now three games and 20%+ clear of everyone except the Dogs and Port.

    You'd think our three games against them are going to be decisive to whether we finish top 2/4 or not.

    Port changing into there prison bar jumpers to sing the song is pure genius. They better not get any fine for that. 

    Cop that AFL, pies & Eddie

    Noticed in the Gold Coast game that most if not all of the stadium was open and the crowd was naturally dispersed around the whole of the ground. 

    Something the MCC could learn from

    Norf are excruciating. So bad.

    Where is the Norf that played a great (first) half against the Dees last week?

    They stayed in Hobart.

    Money, money money. Sounds like a good line for a song!

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
