ANB was doubled over off the ball and I want to know who punched him in the guts. Surely there will be camera vision somewhere of the sniper attack.

I was there. Seems it was number 43 (some no name). Harmes spent a good 2 minutes getting stuck into him afterwards, then ANB did the same when he got up.

    Someone earlier mentioned in the thread 'rope a dope'. A reference, of course, to Ali absorbing a heap of punishment and taking all Foreman could give and then letting lose after George was worn out

    A tongue in cheek comment no doubt.

    But the way we lead out of the forward line, spotted up targets, created space, and broke forward efficiency records signalled to me we have plenty up our sleeves! Even some of the loopy kicks forward hit their leading target last night.

    I remember when playing we had set leading lanes for our FF and CHF. We practiced them week after week. We identified set positions our forwards could run to and we had to kick to space.

    As far as I've seen, we haven't seen any of the plays used last night in the first 22 rounds. Jackson spotting up  Brown. Fritta and Melk leading to space...

    Maybe I'm giving Goodwin too much credit but I think he still has a few tricks up his sleeve!

    Game on!

    Mighty impressive performance.

    Trac was back tonight! Our barometer.

    Loved the straight kicking.

    Luke Jackson's best game since Gold Coast game.

    Beating up Brisbane is a good feeling!

    Clarry maybe a Brownlow vote or two?

    BBB brilliant.

    Hibbo's job on Cameron.

    May' physicality!

    Hunt great game for four quarters.

    Rivers excellent.

    And the Kozzzzzzzzy magic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Answerth

    Would love to have seen the incident.  Hard to imagine the network doesn't have it as they have down the ground cameras.

    Hopefully, the MRO asks for vision.

    Excellent game by Rivers.

    A distinct difference to his past games was that he had so much time and space.  He has really worked on his 'composure' with the ball (lessons from Salem perhaps) and is so much more effective.

    He went to Casey to improve his kicking.  He has and so much more.

    I was so willing Hunt's after the siren torp to go through.

    Fond memories of the after the siren torp for a goal in the NT a few years ago.

    He also had an excellent game.

    You can feel that both Hunt and Melksham want to be there.

    Well folks, I've just come out of surgery or so it seems,  to have the middle lobe of my right lung removed because of a growth in the collapsed lung and my diaphragm piltrated (stiched down).

    Don't want to bore you all with the ****ty stuff, but I must say timing of this operation was of not my doing. 

    To my elation I was to be at the hospital at 6.30 am Friday to be prepped  for a morning procedure that would  likely last 4 hrs. So I'm thinking start at 9 finish at 1 gimee time to come around to watch the game. Didnt allow for the effects of the ongoing drip fed ketamine and oxycodone .

    So to say it appeared as a dream is an understatement. In and out of consciousness but managed to see the whole game (I think) unless I have died and gone to heaven.

    Hope all goes well with your recovery. Looks like the Dees played their part well!

    They won't, if it was a team outside the eight they would. But they don't want lessen the finals games. At best Zorko  will get a fine.

    We were really pulling for that one too, almost felt the same as that night in Darwin but just fell short.

    Harmes was enormous

    Certainly was Jumbo. Was at the ground and he played mainly on our side of ground. Did a great job and just shows how fit he is when he played after 5 days. You people that thought this was a bad move, go and hide for a few hours.

    For all money the general fan would have thought Harmes was coming in to do the job on Neale. Bam, Brayshaw goes to him and Harmes plays on that wing and does a bang up job. 

    For the goons who still think Goody can't coach, hi.

    I think you'll find them licking their wounds in the same room as the "Melksham only gets a game because he's Goody's best mate" crowd.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
