Mitch Robinson got a week for standing his ground? The bloke ran straight into him

bloke got injured - therefore Mitch gets a week

the game is becoming an embarrassment

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.

Good get Daz. Although I would suggest Norf are where we were in 2014/15. They have a couple of superstars in the making. 

West Coast will run out of petrol. They look incredibly unfit.

    Umpires starring for crows today. Round 10 2021 deja vu.

    As Jack Dyer once said . . . "it's deja vu all over again".

    GC$ over WCE could give it a push.  

    Inane comments and a truly grating voice.  Can anyone cite any positives?

    She's not Tom Morris???

    9 points is getting pantsed?

    Hi Rod. They were 4 goals down when I posted so there may have been a lag. I think WC had double their score at the time.

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

    It has become a 'cult' victory song for sporting teams around the world.  Melbourne Victory play it at their stadium after they win a game.

    Just got home and switched on the box to find GC are getting pantsed by WC reserves. As a sporting non entity they'd be up there with the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL. 

    Melbourne Rebels level I’d say, easily up there with the worst professional teams going around.

    Why do I see a Levi Casboult on the field?! 


    Nothing will make me happier than West Coast finishing bottom 4… unless Geelong do (which won’t happen sadly)

    When they shut down Gold Coast I’m calling dibs on Touk Miller.

    Hey Cards. Yeah, they are the Melbourne side that play in some tri-nation rugby union comp aren't they? I think they share AAMI Park with Victory and Storm. I don't know what if any traction they get down here. 

     

    I'm not sure that Levi Casboult would even make the covid top up list for any other club but without Ben King for the year beggars can't be choosers.

    Danger game next week. We don’t like playing bad teams.

    Would be a disgrace if we lost….WC are missing 15 players 

    Not sure how Willie Rioli can cannon into Matt Rowell in the marking contest with no eyes for the footy and it's play on but Weightman gets a free from absolutely insignificant contact from Smith.

    West Coast skills keeping them in this. They are killing them by foot. 
    Gold Coast wasting a million possessions.

    Almost buddy, it’s dual nation but not now as such. With covid it went to a NZ comp and Aust comp with finals played across both, this years its hybrid and inc two new teams in Fiji Drua and Monoa Pacifica. 

    The Super Rugby comp was one of the most exciting competitions in the early to mid 2000s. The Aussie teams were great, you had some amazing players like the great Lomu.

    Expansion went a bit pear shaped for the Aussie teams and we’ve gone backwards, New Zealand has lapped us but the worst part was the ARU had to decide between keeping Melbourne Rebels or the WA team Western Force (backed by the billionaire Twiggy Forrest), they chose incorrectly on keeping the Rebels. 
    We've been terrible and the Force with covid has come back into the Super rugby competition and is doing well. 
    The traction is zero, it used to be aging a little foothold with ex pat Kiwis, SAFOs, Poms and rugby tragics from northern states with us late bloomers getting stuck in…. Fair to say it’s now give away tickets only.

     

    King out is a disaster for the Suns.

    Yes I know, they are struggling against a side with 15 out

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
