Moron Pies fans think every tackle should be a free. So do their players.

    They can't even pay for a good slo-mo or 360 system, appaling!

    Just checked on Google. 300,000 dollars for both the spider camera and a 360 deg camera system. Surely the AFL can spare that money? Oh wait Gil MacLachlan needs his exit bonus I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Geelong getting the run of the umpires this quarter.  Some horrible non calls.

    Geelong have tightened up on the pies. They can't get free

    And they get all the help from the umpires

    This so interesting to watch. Ed was right. Collingwood’s game style is all duck and no dinner. They’ll take it on, but you get such good looks if they turn it over. I have serious doubts about its ability to be consistently competitive over seasons. They’ve been great this year and ridden the wave, but teams will get better at figuring it out.

    Its actually a massive credit to them that they’ve sustained it. It looks exhausting.

    Not just the ones paid. Pies getting crucified on frees not paid as well. 

    Why can't the Dees become the darlings of the AFL and the umpires? We always seem to have to win it against opposition and the guys in green/yellow.

    Yup. Way too much structure. I mean FFS unleash Clarrie and Trac, Langers less effective cos we now go slow. All that makes our forwards ineffective. Look at the way the filth and swans smashed the ball forward from stoppage. Geelong did it with the mark to Rohan too. 

    It’s defending with ball in hand. Boring boring boring. Traditionally it was the game style of finals… I think we are seeing a new tradition being forged.

    We had a reasonable run last night and won a premiership last year.

    Umpiring can ruin the flow of a game but not results.

    I hope so, it’s much better to watch.

    The Pies look spent imo. Not sure they can hang on, but I hope they do. Hatred of Geelong trumps all.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
