How can that not be a 50 against 2 meter Peter - should be a report for a charge (though was it Cox 😎 who got away with it a  few weeks ago?)

    I'm vaguely Celtic, I guess the link with Henrik.L when I first went O/S 20 years ago... more about parochial australiana. 👌

    Went to Hamden in 1974 for Rangers v Celtic. Although I love the colours (green & white) but resinated with the R's. There were eight of us from various parts from around the world. (Rangers won) and the crowd was amazing. You could not move as we were shoulder to shoulder and one of our party complained of a "warm leg" from behind. Forget getting out for a toilet break. Great time though. Still love watching matches on Youtube. Atmosphere is brilliant.

    Surely those Weagles Guernseys are the ugliest in the league! 🤮

    Nothing like our navy blue and red combo 😎

    Again a play on after Shiel tried the faux handpass to draw a 50. Just hope it is called consistently ( and of course it won’t be).

    Looks like an early night for me.  H v E on 7 pretty boring stuff.  Tried B vs WC on Kayo only to get Derwaynne and the inane pun, rasp voice commentary.  Unbearable.  Will check scores in morning.

    West Coast to their credit are trying hard and defensively working their [censored] off. They’ll still lose by 100 points.

    McStay a big out for Lions with both Daniher and Hipwood on the sidelines. Rayner now taking on a big role up forward.

    Hi MT64. Have you seen the footage of Ibrox rocking on Thursday night ? This is the footage of the gantry where the cameraman was sitting shaking after the game.

    Thought hawthorn wern't playing great and look like they are playing differently to how they played against us played last week, but then towards the end got a roll on and hold a 3 goal lead.

    Not counting my chickens but if we do manage to see off the Saints tomorrow there's every chance we could be sitting on top at 10-0 with 200% by the time we come up against Freo.

    Peter Wright is one of the most improved player in the league this season

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
