    And we’ve got Stkilda and North to look forward to! Electrifying sports entertainment.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
