    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.

    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.

    • 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.
