Could be a close game

PS to be honest I would rather clean my shoes and cut my finger nails.

Gee whizz, it's a good thing the Pies had an extra skill session this week. This could have been a complete blow out otherwise !!

Mitch Robinson ran right off his mark for that kick after the siren. How was that not play on? These rules do my head in. The ump said he was fine to do it.

My god that game was pathetic. Although at the end part of me wanted the pies to sneak another to make it interesting. But this was a team 3rd on the ladder and they could only manage 8 goals. Collingwood was just as bad. They couldn't even kick a goal in 2 quarters. 

We had kicked more goals at half time than the cats had all game. 

On another note is it wrong of me to hope Grundy has done a minor injury and miss our game.

Yes.

The umps in the Pies game allowed a plethora of short kicks and "protected zone" invasions. They might not like the rules (and let's face it, some of them are bad rules) but they don't get to decide which ones to enforce and which ones not. The AFL don't care.

It's an interesting season. The lions are well in front of GWS but not really looking that fantastic either.
Mitch Robinson looks like the main one to stop. No other Brisbane player seems to be dominating.
GWS look bog ordinary.
Haven't seen a lot of Port so far though.

Dees, Dog and perhaps the Lions and daylight to the rest.

I think the pies have to give GWS their first pick this year can anyone confirm that?

Yes I believe they do. Imagine handing the giants pick 2. ?

I'm finding it hard to watch these crowdless games. The absence of crowd noise is manageable but for some reason they've stopped enabling the umpires mic on free kicks. Didn't think that would annoy me so much but stoppage after stoppage I'm left guessing if it's a ball up, holding the ball or some other decision.

Pies v Cats: unwatchable.

Lions v Giants: training drill

Saints v Roos: is this AFL or VFL?

Lockdown means time to watch footy and the footy is putrid.

I guess they stop the umps Mike’s because they don’t want to broadcast the players swearing

It would be the end of this current board you would think. I think they are gone any way. It is very hard not to enjoy all this.Not that I am trying.

Cameron has been threatening to have a big game. Hibbo will need to be alert next week.

I thought this would be much closer. the Giants form has been solid but there first quarter was as bad as their game against Freo. Totally disinterested today.

The pies are going to get the best player in the draft anyways in Daicos through father son. They would have to pay for him through points anyways so made sense for them to trade their future first last year rather than using it to pay for Daicos this year.  But its fantastic for GWS getting what will be a top 5 pick. They must be rapt watching the pies flounder.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
