When the footy is so bad that I'm watching the rugby, you know there's an issue.

What a try!!

I bet more than 1 person though the same thing.  I considered it this afternoon for a bit but didn't change.  Then you didn't expect this level of footy. 

yep, its bad alright, instead of going three ahead of the pack below me, I have brought them all to within 1

and yep, the footy is bad too

 

WC get first goal courtesy from a non push in the back free and second from an unpaid push in the back. Umpires face palm yourselves.

AFL have sure scheduled a couple of doozie blockbusters for Good Friday.  Well done.

Had a giggle when the doggies fan gave a Bronx cheers to the umps when they were paid a free kick late in the game. Must be completely oblivious to the easy run they've had for the last 5+ years.

Yeah I’m married to a dogs supporter as are her whole family (she’s one of 6), they firmly believe they deserved every single one of those frees over the past month and that the differential is just because they are first to the ball 😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣

How are the Eagles players smiling and joking around with each other at 3/4 time? You're down by 51 points and you're laughing it up. There's seemingly a very poor culture at West Coast. I'd be cheesed off if it were Melbourne in that situation, particularly if we'd just had a year like West Coast had.

Must be nice to be a Swans fans. Get a number 1 pick Heeney when you are a top 4 team so you never have to miss finals more than one year in a row 

Terrible day for the AFL. I think Good Friday is a free hit in terms of entertainment, and they serve up this garbage.

Heeney is as good as Toby Greene but without the brain fades, and 10x as good as De Goey

Footballers like Heeney and McInerny must pull this hair out playing in that side. Majority of Sydney players just play for themselves. Very poorly coached side to be fair. If they make finals hopefully it’s the fourth spot and we meet them in the first final.

Highlight of the night, Frank Drebin. But a really good recommendation at the end of the clip.

He’s better than Petracca?

Would be very close.  Paul Roos bid Heeney at pick 2 before Petracca.  We would have Petracca as we had pick 3 but not had Brayshaw.

Given that the draft points system didn't exist back then we didn't have to bid Heeney at pick 2 to force Sydney's hand to use a 'high' pick.  Their highest pick was #18 and that is what they used to match our bid #2.  Any first round bid  would have got them Heeney for pick 18.  So I would say Roos rated Heeney very highly at least equal to Petracca.

They are different types of players, both are stars.

Paul Roos knew how good Heeney was from his time at the Academy.  He bid on Heeney at pick 2 before Petracca,.  We would have also got Petracca as we had pick 3 but not had Brayshaw.

Given that the draft points system didn't exist back then we didn't have to bid Heeney so highly to force Sydney hand.  Sydney had pick 18 so any bid in the first round would have got them Heeney for pick 18.  So I would say Roos rated Heeney very highly at least equal to Petracca.

I know we bid on Heeney, like we bid on Mills before Oliver but we did it knowing full wel Sydney would still take them.

Heeney is very good, but Petracca is top 2 in the league while Heeney is top 30.

My point was we didn't need to bid him at #2 to force Sydney to pay a high price, as under the draft rules at the time Sydney only had to use pick #18 regardless of when he was bid on in the first round. 

The rules were changed after that for a draft points system so bidding on Mills forced Sydney to have sufficient points to pay top price.

I don't think Roos was messing around when he bid #2 on Heeney. 

As I said above they are different players but both are stars. 

 

Shows we don't bid on Muppets - both Heeney and Mills are A+ players though we ended up with Petracca and Oliver which was amazing.

  • 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.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
