I don't think I'll ever stop being annoyed that we lost that game against Adelaide. I mean, it may be the last thing I say before I die "I wish we hadn't lost to the bloody croowwssss…"

Then I cark it.

    Got to hand it to Clarko. he is a genius they way he plans for games. As some of the media said clarko has had 10 days to plan for this and how to beat Sydney. It is a good win. 

    Jai Newcombe 12 tackles in his first game after getting taken in the mid season draft a few weeks ago. There is a kid that just wants to play footy and will grab his chance and make the most of his opportunity. 

    In no way am I having a go at you personally dees189227, but I am getting sick of the clarko is a genius stuff.

    He is a great coach and has clearly done well with all the flags, but I love how they beat the swans and he is a genius (you said it, but also all the papers and radio have run with it today).

    Just wondering how much of a genius he has been for the remainder of the games they have played this year?

    Just a little gripe of mine.

    2.  Taking a mark in the forward line then walking back not facing the goals.

    Don't turn your back on the play! It's like a bowler not getting behind the stumps for the fielder's throw in. Or a batsman turning for a second run with his back to the fielder.

    It's so basic to the craft, it's a miracle that coaches allow it.

    We also see so many players who are one sided and practically helpless on their "wrong" side. About as good on their "wrong" side as I am on my "right" side. What are they being taught?

    They're also not allowed to do goal shooting practice. In case it interferes with the things that can win matches. It's upside down land.

    Yes we were done over by the maggots in the last few plays, but we should never have allowed them back into range after mid Q4, with our superior fitness. 
    IMO the defence looked disorganized … missed Salem more than realized.  
    And overall a team only needs to be a little bit off and … bingo. 
    Just hope we have learned from the experience (Goody’s “learnings”) and don’t let it happen again.

    Will need to be right on song on Monday.

    Colonwood will either be flat as a pancake in which case we should be relentless to boost %, or really switched on and will take a full team effort to overcome  

    And, yes … Adelaide very ordinary tonight.

    Easier to be a genius when you pick up players like Franklin, Hodge, Roughead, Rioli, Lewis and Mitchell in successive drafts then have the rest of the competition hobbled by the expansion teams of GC and GWS while you're on top.

    I won't be convinced of his genius till he does it again.
    Either with Hawthorn or some other club.

    Whatever you think of him, his evolution of the flood into "Clarkos Cluster" changed the game and won flags. You don't three-peat by just being lucky.

    Sure helps for my reasons above.
    Also helps when the rest of the competition is hobbled in the draft and you're cherry picking players chasing success from opposition clubs.
    Same goes for Geelong through the same time period.

    I'm hoping the Crows win this. The saints fans are in mutinous mood as it is. Coughing up a 6 goal lead will tip them over the edge

    Umpires influencing this result too.

    BS free on the goal line and then two saints players held down on the mark and the ump just brings the kick back when it should have been reversed

    That's one of the worst misses ever. Just needed a point and missed the lot.

    No wonder we lost to this juggernaut. Crows a sneaky chance for the 8? Mathematically possible?

    Agree about the goal line free but this bolded part is absolute garbage. Umpire did the right thing by calling it back.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
