Can I just ask if our Alice Springs game v lions is a home game for us?

Also given how covid has stopped so many in melb last year seeing live footy...why play up there ?

Yes it is and we play well there. I don't think the Lions have played there very often so I reckon that gives us an advantage.

    Martin caught twice tonight when attempting the fend off. Could this be signs of the beginning of the end for the Dusty and Richmond dynasty?

    Mathieson....... no integrity, no honesty, just a disgusting fraud and a cheat. What must it feel like to be as low a human being as that cheat ??

    Reckon Brisbane players have worked out how to tackle him. Don’t go for the waist but raise both arms and come down on him from above.

    Im sure it is and we are financially compensated for it.

    I would be keen if mods could do a survey on if this is a good idea.

    Especially after Goody wants it to be fortress Mcg. Its contrary to this view.

    Also its not like a trip to Sydney or Canberra. Its a fair distance.

    Given we play eight away games including kardinia but not the ones at marvel( whick is the mist for vic clubs)... im wondering if we just forgo the $ or whatever and keep our eyes on the ultimate prize...a flag.

    Deever, you really do have to look at a map. As the crow flies it's not much different to flying to Brisbane.

    Wonder why Riewoldt didn’t wander down and have a chat to that stain Mathieson.

    Must of missed it,  what did he do?

    Kicked a goal then mimed ripping the shirt open like superman and stuck the forehead and his massive underbite into Baker.

    Friggin maggots not a clue about playing footy - no way was that a deliberate OOB - the guy was pulled out of balance as he kicked it.

    Probably a stupid question but what are the AFL instructing the umpires to do? 3 tackles in the lead up to that Brisbane goal were stone cold holding the ball/incorrect disposal! If you have prior opportunity and incorrectly dispose of it, it doesn't matter if you make an attempt!

    If the umpires are being instructed to do this, it's a disgrace. If they aren't, then the umpires are disgracefully enforcing (or not enforcing) the rules of the game.

    Brisbane are an ugly team that are going to be hard to beat.

    Commentators declare high shot is worth a fine. MRP take note (and it's Richmond $1k should do)

    Well the thing about it was it was a double tap, he copped a hard (deliberate) forearm, and then he came through with the other hand across the face. I think it will end up being a fine, but it's typical dirty tactics from these thugs.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
