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)

    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: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
