Try again.

This is your opinion and you have every right to post it? Absolutely. 

Posting it serves a purpose and is therefore necessary? Absolutely not. 


I’m soooo not having a go at you. (I was gonna let it go through to the keeper but the middle of the bat was too tempting.) Sadly, exercising tact is fast becoming a lost art form. Had I posted such, I’d appreciate having it politely pointed out.

How funny we are getting the good timeslots & hawthorn are in the 1:10 slot. 

Although I never minded that timeslot. You got home earlier & could grab lunch beforehand

In a round concocted by the AFL to give every team a reasonable chance of winning it's interesting that Carlton v Richmond is the only "pure" match and even that could be described as close.

Anyone who picks 9 this weekend certainly has my respect:

Richmond

Collingwood

Geelong

Swans

Lions

Hawks

Adelaide

Eagles

Would eight earn respect, as well?

 

Eagles are discovering how irksome is the 'graveyard' time slot: 

“One of the things that drives us mad is these late games on a Sunday,” he said. “It’s not just our country members... I’ve got a lot of mates who are in the bush and telling us ‘We just can’t get to the game’. I hate that. “It’s not the right thing to do, given there would be people in Melbourne who don’t realise how vast out State is and how far people have to drive or fly to get here.  Only complicating matters is the fact that Monday is a school day, which Nisbett added makes it “extremely difficult for families” to make the trip for Eagles games".

You’re gonna lose anyway you muppet. Save your fans the trip in and just concede the game.

 

I thought a bigger deal would’ve been made of Horne-Francis’s first goal. Like, more players getting around him.

They are just diverting, they know their spineless fickle supporters don’t come when they are crap so trying to blame the crowds they will get on AFL

Horne-Francis and Ward look comfortable at the level already. The circle jerk over Horne-Francis by the commentators is a bit over the top though.

Poos & Wees v Norf ... terrible standard. Like a country football match.

Not wrong. 
 

You’d think it was blowing a gale and pouring down rain!

so hard to watch, even with fox commentary turned off


Gee Jayden Stephenson is a liability.

I have actually found the game entertaining but these two teams are bottom 4 for sure. Sullied by the incredibly poor skill level and Hawthorn winning.

Hawks will finish the round top 4 possibly… isn’t that a laugh 😂 


Strange to have the wooden spoon decider  in round 1.

I learnt 1 thing from this arvos match. Will have to watch the umpires when we play Hawthorn. If I barracked for North then I would be fuming.

If these 2 teams win more than 10 games between them this season I would be shocked.

One of my pre season punts was on Norf to have the least wins in the comp.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
