22 Tackles, 31 touches, 1000 pressure acts, 2 goals

I can almost see Barassi walking out to award the medal, but it's blurred through the tears in my eyes

I had 10 on the Dees for the flag pre season at 26-1

ladbrokes are offering a cash out at $38 ie 3.80

Jeez we’ve shortened

Might see how that goes after the next few weeks 

I reckon they've crunched the numbers and think we're more than a chance. They don't want to give you $260 so they're offering $38 and hope you squander it on other bets. Can you cash out the $38?


I will be Petracca, even when he's second best on Anzac eve he gets the medal because of the way he plays and takes the game on and that strength through the core like Ablett, Riccuito or Judd. He will win a Brownlow too possibly earlier than most people think.

 

 

Some of the contributions on this thread are priceless.

Reminds me of the federal ALP . . . never been lead into government from opposition by a person who served in the previous federal Labor government.

It is entire possible that the Deez next NSM isn't born yet!

Yes to cash out - it's a cashout offer. Petracca Brownlow laid at 15-1 is offering cashout at 3-1.

Will ride the lightning a little longer to see how things look at mid season/post Doggies game. I reckon if they offer a cashout at $100 (ie 10-1 return) that's a good balance of risk.

I see a couple of people (not I) picked it correctly back in May

I was thinking back to the comments in the media last and earlier this year around Petraccas comparison to Dusty and how he’d have to prove it on the big stage.

I know Dusty has 3 ( 1 should have really gone to Bachar) Norms but I think Tracs performance is leaps and bounds ahead of Dusty’s and i think is now the new bench mark. 
 

I don’t think this performance has been lauded enough for what it was imo. Maybe it will be spoken of more in the coming years but it will go down in history as one of the best GF games anyone has played. 
Really wish he got the 40 touches and kicked 1 more goal… so close.

And arguably another should have gone to Rance.

  • 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.
