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 credit tonight. That was a tremendous win under the circumstances. Even found myself barracking for them.

Time to give myself a shower & possibly disinfectant treatment. I feel very dirty.

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

By the time we get to win one (in September), it will be cheapened and diminished by all these other premierships.

Sam Mitchell always looks perpetually smug to me. Maybe not tonight. Hopefully, he'll get a phone call from the all - knowing Jeff Kennett to put a ribbon around today.

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

I'd take him over T Mac and Weideman anyday!

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.

 but resinated with the R's. Must have been quite sticky!

based on this year he'a ahead but this season has been a break-out for him. Finally delivering on the talent he has. It was looking like he wouldn't make the grade 

if anything it goes to show that patience is required with talls and perhaps the Weid might come good yet.

Just about to post the same thing. Just watched a Crows player mugged as he chased whilst on the mark. Ump was right on the spot.

What a pathetic bunch of umpires in the Ad/ Car game. Terribly soft decisions holding ball, pathetic attempts to even up once ball moves to backline   Talk about momentum moments Eddy Betts was on to it. Give us a changing of the guard with commentators prepared to speak their mind. Silvanghi always manages to fall over behind the play.Is because he is awkward or such a good player or dirty.

Can someone please shed some light for me please. Fox and media in general stating that West Coast unable to field a full team due to Covid even as yesterday but I read that currently only a couple fall into that category and the rest are injuries. There is even talk of giving them a priority selection. Good God.

All teams go thru injuries but their problems seem to stem inhouse with a lot of their players looking very unfit and susceptible to injuries. Nic Nat springs to mind.

My mind keeps drifting towards a system of TANKING by them. How do others see this?

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
