First time for being in Australia for the Olympics for a while.

I had forgotten how cringeworthingly Aussie centric the FTA commentary can be.

    Isaac Smith would have made a big difference for us this year. Oh well

    Smith turning us down was a bit of a disaster for us IMO. He’s exactly what we need. 25 touches and a goal a week on the non Langdon wing.

    How simple is it to be able to have an option to watch the game on TV/devices with the sounds of the game (crowd when available, and players), but no commentary?

    I’d pay $30 a month for that option. I love the atmosphere, and don’t need anything else.

    Geelong are a good discipline team. Them and Sydney are the benchmark in this aspect.

    Man it’s so hard watching Geelong. They starve the opposition and then counter. They are so constistent and disciplined. 

    clear flag fav imo. This will be 10 wins from the last 11 with Duncan and Cameron to come back in

    Jeepers Geelong putting on a clinic.

    There is honestly no weaknesses in their side. Unfortunately I think think they want he flag this year.

    Up to the Giants to salvage the weekend somewhat, Netflix until then.

    You don’t want to play Essendon week 1 finals?

    Assuming we fall out of the Top 4, Essendon would be the side I’d most want to play against. More so than GWS.

    Tigers certainly seem Dusted.

    Nope, not at all interested in playing anyone that finishes 8th a month out from the finish. Certainly won’t be cheering them on the assumption we drop out from the top 4 just to play them. Finish 5th because you think they’re an easy kill, no thanks.

    We can be better than all of these teams, for longer, we just need to get our forward line sorted out and perhaps another outside runner (Bowey?)

  • Quote

    So Essendon will probably get 8th spot because the teams around them keep falling down. Hopefully the giants can produce a miracle and beat them

    just patiently waiting for essendon to win to put a nice little bow on this ****ty weekend.

    The 15 metre kick rule is so unfairly applied across the league. Some teams can kick it 7 metres, and some can’t kick it 25.

    It needs to be addressed in the off season.

    There seem to be times when the umpires just seem to think “that shouldn’t be a mark” and call “no 15” just on a whim.

    Just saw on the news Franklin elbowing an opponent with a wild backward swing - “may get a week if unlucky”.  
    Imagine if one of ours did that - “4-6 weeks”!

    Corruption reigns??

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
