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

Round about way of saying ‘wooden spooners’?

    so hard to watch, even with fox commentary turned off

    We still have WCE and GCS to take it to a lower standard.

    actually not a bad crowd, but I reckon nth fans would have thought they'd win. Noble was not happy in the box. 


    Kelli Underwood is the worst commentator by the length of the flemington straight

    The worst song in the last 20years. Don't see the appeal at all

    I know round one is always rusty with skills especially when the weather is hot or humid, but my god skills so far this round have been subpar. We stand out significantly with our skills.

    Gee, Mundy's still a quality player. Could give 400 games a nudge if he wants to play on next year and if his form holds up.

    Watching Adelaide and Freo attempting to kick footballs…

    Watching the Hawthorn and North game reminder me so much of 2009 Melbourne when we would battle other bottom 4 teams.

    Game littered with skill errors, but was fast and exciting at times.

    Agree hence why I listen to the radio when she commentates

    Can't watch Freo and Adelaide. Kelli Underwood spoils it for me. Kelli is a commentator at best not a game caller.

    Kelli can tell you where the players were born but not where the ball is.

    Since when does it mean the Adelaide side is playing the corridor when clearly the are kicking it along the wing 

    Since when do Adelaide" open their account "by kicking their second goal

    This will be a demolition, especially if Freo continue to kick straight. 
    Adelaide are woeful.

    I just don't get the appeal. It is such a terrible "song". 

    Freo got on the cans at halftime 

    21 frees to 9 Crows way. That's a fair leg up.

    Freo can't kick straight.  It'll cost them

    Lobb's ball drop is atrocious for a forward, or any player for that matter.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
