Watching this at a sports bar in Hoi An Vietnam. Tiger on tap. Awesome 👌 

I'll be flying over your head  (Nha Trang back to Hanoi; le tour de in-laws) about 30mins after the game finishes. Sometimes even a flight delay is favourable, although listening through a mobile in a packed airport waiting area isn't ideal!

    It was a push, totally stupid and unnecessary by Langdon.

    I thought it was a push live but didn't think it would get called. It was hands on the back but he barely gave him any momentum.

    We can thank Tom Hawkins for that one not being a goal

    Are TMac and Weed just decoy forwards these days?

    Clearances a huge concern.

    If Harmes is running with Coniglio he is getting thrashed.

     

    5 disposals and two marks combined. Pretty poor.

    Need to lift, claw back some clearances. It's feeling like last year only we have the slender lead this time.

    Let’s be honest if there wasn’t a big uproar in the media about Hawkins push in the back then that would never be paid

    Langdon tiny push in the goal square.
    BS free.

    It deserved to be paid just out of langdons stupidity alone. Like what on earth was he thinking. That coupled with Mcdonald holding on to their ruckman's arm in the ruck contest and Harmes kicking into the man on the mark are some of the dumbest plays I've see this year. 

    Another game that will be neck and neck until deep into the 4th because we couldn't ice the game sooner.

    But it made 0 difference to the goal going through so why does it need to be paid? Makes no sense.

    Because pushing a player in the back is dangerous.

    Bfs

    Was innocuous and off the ball, never gets paid...

    Happens multiple times in every game and is never paid.

    Giants always pick off Gawns taps.he needs to hit onto the outside. 

    If you are tallkimg punching it any angle towards goal over the top of the inner ring of players.....Yup!!

    Also Clarry and Tracc need to handball to outside preferrably Lingers side so he can run on to it.  All these 2 to 4 foot hand balls, even Viney is guilty,  bringing the heat on us around the ball and too easy for the Giants to get a hand in and steal or spoil.

    Go further / wider and changle lanes pls

    Took me a minute .... But you're right.

    Getting out worked, out tackled, disposals either just behind or making the player prop.

    They have prob 7 smothers, heaps of shepherds, think we have 0 of both.

    Because you can't push people in the back anywhere on the field.  Free kick

    GWS have brought the heat. not sure if we have faced much heat so far this year, dogs?

    They have but I think we’ve handled it well, only difference being that’s the Giants best and we’re running at about 75-80%. That Kosi non handball to Fritsch was effectively a two goal turn around.


    Lever ismoving fine in the warm ups thankfully. Let’s do him a favour and not let the ball ping down there quite so frequently, hey Clarry?

    We aren’t playing very well, and should still be 6-7 goals up if not for poor umpiring. GWS really are hopeless. Without umpire assistance they’d probably be about 10 points.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
