Ever noticed how the commentators always call Easton Wood by both his names, never just "Wood"?

It's as if there's a player out there called "Easternwood".

I always used to wonder what Garyablettjunior's first name was

 

 

Mr Eddiebetts is another in that exclusive club

    Good to see a nice wet weather slog. The winner will be knackered.

    Isn’t that just up the road from Colinwood?

    100% jaded…I was going to type that but assumed it went without saying.

    My brain is finding it so difficult to comprehend Oliver’s last two games. He is the best player in the comp and the best player I’ve ever seen in an MFC jumper…admittedly I’ve only been supporting our great club since 87 so didn’t see much of Flower

    Different beasts.

    Meaningless anecdote, my Phys-Ed teacher in Auckland in late 70’s was Easton’s dad, Phil. He was the Australian triple jump champ at the time (followed his love to NZ). He was never called Mr. Wood, just Philwood. True thing.

    Oh right. I used to call him "the little (something else)". Thank you for the correction!

    All the free kicks have been there, the last one a bit iffy. He is playing in front or first to the ball in the wet. Of course he will get free kicks. Dumb defence of a small forward by the Bombers.

    Weightman gets about 2 or 3 goals from frees a match. Has had 3 from frees today. 

    He’s had 5 free kicks, 4 goals from them, and I reckon he vaguely deserved one of them.

    The Dogs 5 goals from 7 are free kicks. 4 of those to Weightman.

     

    You have to be kidding. Pathetic umpiring.

    The difference in this game is free kicks. The commentary team is finally coming hard at the umpires about it.

    It’s been ridiculous.

    2 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

    cody weightman - three four frees, three four goals

    And he’s even more unlikeable after Eddie was explaining that he is a family friend…Eddie being the ever self indulgent [censored]

  • Quote

    Essendon should bring up the umpiring post game regardless of consequence. The bulldogs are being handed this. Frees in front of goal. Frees going one way and not the other. I hate both teams and don’t have a dog in this fight but I am very over the umpiring handing the dogs opportunity week after week.

    partly on Essendon for their inability to convert too.

  • Quote

    That Weightman free kick for in the back on the boundary is just about the softest free I have ever seen. To pay that on the boundary in the wet in a final after the ball was disposed (i.e., the push didn't even affect the kick) is disgraceful.

    I'm glad we didn't have to play in Tassy. 

    Can’t rule it out though. A few cases in Perth …….

    I can see Weightman becoming one of the most hated players in the league

    Yes though in fairness he didn’t even stage for that last gift

    Port are going to destroy either of these two teams or Brisbane.

    Never has a Grand Final spot been more assured.

    Brisbane are not a bad side. Came up against a juggernaut last night.

    The wet’s made this a bit of a mullet wrestle.

    • 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.
