    very interested to see how we go against the aints in a few weeks

    they seem to be able to get a man - usually 'missy' higgins - out the back on a regular basis, and max king's height + mobility might actually be a tough match-up for may; i wonder whether petty might be a better match-up

    They look like we should be able to do our usual thing - strangle them and prevent too many clean I 50s to King in particular

    Agreed he has improved.  We'll have to wait until we play them to see how it pans out!

    As above - strangle them.

    First-world problems, but are the Giants' official 'orange and charcoal' colours a con-job? They look orange and blue to me.

    He said it hit the ground and he was correct. 

    So now you can’t even say something which happened?

    That sort of decision is only going to decrease respect, not improve it. 
    Absolute rubbish.

    He could tell the umpire he is short and ugly too.

    It's not a defence.

    I love BT’s attention to detail:

    Mentioned this is the first AFL game in Canberra for 2 years, since before COVID.

    Pretty sure GWS played Dogs in Canberra on a Friday night in round 6 last year. A game which  BT himself would’ve commentated,  being a Friday night game.

    I'm waiting for the AFL directive to broadcasters not to replay contentious free kicks.

    They also played a game against the Dees in round 3. Kozzie lit up Manuka that night

    How was what he did dissent tho? He wasn’t rude. He wasn’t demonstrative. He wasn’t argumentative. He stated a fact and he was correct. 
    The rule is now “don’t talk to umpires”? If it is fine, but last week it was don’t put arms out, and I’ve seen 3 already go unpunished. 

    The dissent rule is impossible to umpire consistently.

    Yes I was there with the advantage of not having to listen to BT

    Needs to urgently replaced with abuse.  Disrespect is just so subjective. Is rolling the eyes allowed?

    that's cos it's not a 'rule' it's an 'interpretation'

    Don't complain about umpiring decisions. It doesn't matter how justified you think you are in telling the umpire that he is wrong, just don't do it. 

    Simple.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
