Fingers crossed Salem is OK. Crappy tackle when there's 4 mins to go and you're 90 points down.

    We seem to like bending teams over barrels these days.

    Great to watch.

    May the strangle hold over Norf continue. 🙏

    Just put a pineapple on BB for the Coleman. Paying $21!

    Was there any noticeable difference in the umpiring of the holding the ball rule? Alternatively, were players trying to dispose of the ball more quickly because of the supposed "tightening up" of that rule?

    Didn't see any difference, other than a few ridiculous holding the balls paid.

    That will come down.

    I reckon after today it will be in around $10-12 range.

    On the claim that Weid might have been played in the ruck in case that Luke Jackson leaves.

    No because he needs to get a go away from just being a forward   in one position. And he is quite decent around the ground with good skills marking and handball ing. No one not even BBB or Tmac  can make  a difference to Dogga in the ruck.
    Please no reason to  be so half glass empty that is not what is being suggested that Dogga is leaving this season or the next 2 at least.

    I know it's only a practice match but belting North Melbourne is always a fun event.

    Hopefully Salem is OK? Otherwise sounds like we got everything we'd have wanted from this match.

    How has Tom Sparrow done?

    It looked like he had hit the gym regularly in the off season.

    He was great. Trimmed down noticeably but still looks wide and strong. Kicked it beautifully and will get more midfield minutes based on today's game

    I was confused about the pineapple reference there for a minute.😁

    I know a 20s a lobster.

    Is a100 a watermelon ?

    Worth a punt for sure.

    On Brown, I saw a highlight video of Chandler's goal from the middle of the field. Was that Brown sprinting into the goalsquare chasing after it?

    If so...seems a far bit faster/more agile than last year?

    Yea it was. He looked quick and gave the thumbs up when it went through.

    First quarter has been uploaded on Youtube, assume the rest of the game will be up shortly

    A few iffy ones, but lots of high tackles paid that looked very dubious and "drawn".  Unfortunately Kayo wasn't doing replays. I would have liked some more looks at many of them.

    BoG for me was Clarry.  Very powerful display.

    Most pleasing was Joel Smith.  Not sure if he was beaten once and disposed of the ball very well.  Really starting to use his supreme athletic gifts well.  Even with Petty out, picking our defenders for round 1 will be a nightmare.

    Can you elaborate on Joel Smith.?  Iv'e always had my doubts and saw a 30 sec clip of the game where he charged through won the ball then butched it.

    Not representative of his game?  Hitting targets?

    Chandler was opportunistic , at best.

    Kicked 2 goals but was rarely sighted otherwise, though the same could be said for our other small forwards who tended to see more goals sailing over their heads from long distances

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
