Some holes appearing in the Swans game. Really struggling to score, and too easy for opposition to rebound out of their forward 50. They need a couple of small defensive forwards to help keep the ball down their end.

I think Casboult has been outstanding for the Suns. His kicking might still not be great, but he keeps on presenting and is such a good mark.

Hawthorn look like a shadow of the side that discovered the blueprint to beating the reigning premiers.

First Carlton won this year's flag. Then Hawthorn won it by showing the football world how to beat us. Maybe Essendon now have one too? By the time we get to win one (in September), it will be ch

I don't hate Frosty but must admit I enjoy watching him have goals kicked on him. I do hate Essendon - everything about them. But, the 22 blokes in those hideous black & red jumpers deserve c

Problem is they get right on the edge about to explode and be raided again by Victorian clubs.

That's fixable though, Brisbane were in the same boat not so long ago, winning games really helps with retention. 

I would imagine the AFL will move heaven and earth to get Clarko to the Suns, if he can convince a couple of quality veterans to go there and retain their out of contract kids, i'd nearly back them to push for finals in 2023

That is a very good win by the suns. 

Now we just have to win tomorrow and we will be 3 games clear ahead of sydney. 

Collingwood fall out of the 8 

Now just need the hawks to put more misery on the bummers and it will be a good day.

Isaac Rankine taunting an opponent as he got a free kick at defensive 50, what a stupid [censored]. Try running both ways for a change you over hyped nobody!

Nice touch for the players to acknowledge the eight supporters that travelled down from Surfers. 

You cant count a Bloke walking his dog past the ground that stops to sniff a post as part of the crowd Rab!

One thing that I really noticed in the Port win was their kicking to a leading forward inside 50. I think they had nearly 20 inside 50 marks. It's something that Melbourne has really lost. We kick long to à big pack and rely on Ben browns reach. Would love to see us delivering to a leading forward out in front. I don't think it's our forwards. All of our forwards are capable of a strong lead. I watch and they just hold back and wait for the long bomb. Probably why our forwards aren't kicking bags atm. Thoughts? 

All our taller forwards can mark and kick but their leading patterns are all [censored] about at the moment. 
Keeping something up our sleeves for finals?🙄

I excluded him from my head count Picket. Incidentally his dog has a coterie membership at Hawthorn.

Swans  having a forward line revolving around Franklin is starting to look like a mill stone around their neck.

Yeh i agree they looked better earlier in the season taking multiple avenues to goal.   Become a bit predictable when Buddy's in.

That free kick to Hogan was ridiculous. No contact, or minimal at best.

Why don't the commentators call it?

MRP peer pressure

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
