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: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
