First time I've heard their song I think. Anything with 'we are the boys' in it goes well on Broadway.

Top four Saturday night blockbuster against the Suns coming up. Might just shade the Richmond v Giants grand final preview.

    Surely Rioli will get weeks for that bump on Rowell.  Lined him up, late, no attempt to spoil the mark, leapt off the ground and hip to the head.

    Didn’t even get a free for that poor Rowell. 
    He’s a bull.

    Rioli should get two weeks at least.

     

    Joel Smith must get the same plus one considering Rioilis wasn’t even deemed worth of a free whereas Joel’s was….

    Is it just me or have Gold Coast not improved their skills or decision making abilities under Dew? 
     

    Every game I watch of theirs (which to be fair isn’t regular), they seem to miss easy kicks and/or handball to players under pressure A LOT.

    Two after a guilty plea, should be used to that. That was text book of what you are not supposed to do. WCE will get some sympathy though for being out of players. If they are serious it is four, ( I don’t think they are serious).

    Nic Nat just can’t stay on when the game needs to be won, he sat on the pine at the worst time. 

    Rowell was just fantastically brave.

    Yeah coz that’s what you want your team’s coach to focus on… the important things. 🙃

    In fairness to Mitchell tthough isn't this no different to how Goodwin/Gawn preach about our players expressing ourselves on and off the field?

    Fair point. I just don’t like Sam Mitchell. So, any chance to take a pottie… 😁

    Just watched the Kayo Mini WCE v GC$.  Just emphasised the totally feral nature of the WCE "crowd" (a mere handful for season's opener at their home ground)  - booing absolutely every goal by GC$ however achieved.

    They were just really grumpy about having to travel vast distances to attend the footy so late in the weekend...

    100% agree.

    But because Rowell walked away with seemingly no injury, the AFL's broken MRO system will deem it a fine or something.

    I hope they abide by the 'potential for injury' part of the assessment which they made a song and dance about.  Not holding my breath.

    Rioli won’t be suspended. The afl-controlled media are not mentioning it. In fact the AFL tweeted both players had their eye on the ball. Yeah right!

    no injury as Rowell is tough as guts. Therefore no suspension. a smaller player would have concussion and broken ribs

    Carlton, Geel, Sydney and Brisbane the impressive sides of round 1.

    And it will be a question of whether they can back it up and keep it up but Collingwood looked a far better side too.

    Fast aggressive footy with good scoring.

    Apart from us I would think that's about right.

    Let's see how they back it up.

    Saints were rubbish so hard to assess Collingwood but they did look good.

    That Rioli incident was similar to the Viney incident of a few years ago when he smashed into I believe Shannon Hurn of WC. Difference was he got to the ball ball first and had his eyes on it. Rioli was far too late. It was reckless.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
