I’m in Fiji currently and am considering a weekly sub to WatchAFL to watch it but all the reviews I’ve read bemoan the quality of the stream. Can anyone confirm whether it’s worth it?   

It was fine for me while I was in NZ a couple of weeks ago. 

 

Unless we lose a quarter, will win by 8 goals+ I reckon. Depends entirely on Eagles effort. If they’ve genuinely checked out, it’ll get ugly.

I had a similar experience in round 13 2014. I was also in Fiji.

Essendon vs Demons. Game was superclose. My connection came back for 30seconds as I watched the ball move from half back, up to Salem who marked 20meters out. 

Connection goes down again and I know it's going to take 3 minutes to buffer again but I didn't care. I knew Salem was a good kick and would kick it.

I was in New York for that match and had to get up at 3 or 4am to watch it in the hotel bathroom so I wouldn’t wake my wife. I ended up walking the entire floor of the hotel. WatchAFL worked fine.

All I want is the four points.

And an extra 20 percentage points.

Last year vs Crows thinking pre game couldn’t lose, agree to happily bank the 4 points vs Eagles!

Salem to come back soon, Bedford playing well plus Tomlinson, Weideman and Dunstan in VFL should be sufficient pressure for a strong effort and solid win today.

 

RIP Andrew Symonds, another person gone far to early. While not anywhere near in the Warne status probably the best fielder I have ever seen play cricket.

Terribly sad.  A brilliant cricketer.  Loved watching him take the game on.  And just amazing in the field.

Well worth it as long as the internet stacks  up.

 

Hey, where's everyone watching today's match?

I'm going to The Sporting Globe in Richmond. If anyone else is going there, I'm the bloke wearing the Demons cap !!   😉

He died in a car crash. Only 46yo. Absolute tragedy. 💔

RIP Roy 💕

This might have been the most relaxing week as a Melbourne supporter I've ever had. This coming week would have been too but will now be offset by a Europa League final taking place in Seville early on Thursday morning. It's a gorgeous autumnal day so I might take the short train ride down to Arden Street to watch the magoos before the main event starts. 

I'm on clearance watch for Oliver. Surely he can rack up 14-15?
 

We are so many leagues ahead it's not funny

We will play forward half footy and they will stand no chance 

I expect nothing more the belting - we showed good score board pressure in the first against the saints and I'd love to see that for 4qts today

Does anyone reckon that bloke who snuck into Perth for the GF is going today? He won't have to go to jail this time.


I still have nightmares of the feeble capitulation to the EssUndone VFL side a few years back.  
I actually found it hard to take our team seriously for the next 12 months or so.  
Guys - please don’t let that happen    My MFCSS could become terminal.

Indeed .. I also remember when the Swans were on a losing streak of about 30 matches ... guess who they had a win against to break that streak? To make matters worse, I was at that match!!

PS.  I was also at the loss v Essendon VFL side.

Eagles will not play with much of a gameplan and will likely try to own the corridor not to mention pack our forward 50.

Could be a frustrating game but hopefully not

The Control crew have made our way over to Perth. Its a nice sunny morning here with a few clouds around, good day to dish out some sweet revenge.

I don't think I can be bothered watching today's match and same goes for North next week. I'd rather go to an open training session which I expect will be more competitive.


No MFCSS here!

Yes, that 2014 Ess game was a nightmare but this isn't that team.   It was light years away from where we are now. 

The whole WCE club has thrown in the towel:  They are officially using the 'R' word chairman-s-message

Dees by 6-8 goals.

If we use 6-6-6 to our advantage and bang bang bang <repeat repeatedly> then they won’t get a chance to pack the backline.

Hard to resist the 17:1 Eagles.

This "WAFL side" contains Kennedy, Darling, McGovern, Cripps, Ryan , Barrass, Shuey.

I can't help but worry.

I have MFCSS.

If you really want to take a chance take the $4.50 for Melbourne to win by under 40 points. You don't see that too often $1.12 for over 40 points and $4.50 for under.

Started work early so I could make the matinee down at John Foord Oval with Corowa taking on Yarrawonga. Despite Corowas improvement (only falling 2 points shirt of Albury, and should have won on expected score) I think Yarra will be to tough an ask.

 

Leg of lamb on the rotisserie and a fat cuban I'll be round in the forward pocket scoreboard end if anyone's hungry.

G'day from Wahgunyah 😉
We're not talking footy over here 😂

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
