    I don't understand the use of signs like that, isn't it just telling the other team what you plan to do 🤪

    Yes and I also don't get the infatuation from the commentators about them.

    Hopefully tonight ends the calls by some in the media to completely scrap all practice games before the season starts.

    Wowee.

    But Carlton again choking in a close one. O'Brien made a massive mistake in their Round 22 loss to us last year and then tonight tears off down the wing when they're trying to ice the game, stuffs the bounce, then misses Mackay on the kick. And then Carlton unable to stop Lynch marking it. 

    Yeah beautiful wasnt it

    A few takes

    1 Crypts Loved by umps

    2 Saad one way runner and NEVER picks up a man the other way and as for Jack Martin... what a dud

    3 Shai Boltin should be dropped on that pathetic shot on goal

    4 Both teams very avg but Rich very unlucky to lose

    I usually say this in every close game as there is a chance for irony and comments like this from people like yourself!

    But I know you want me to say yes so I'll say yes 😀

    We kinda do, Azz. You’ve been on DL for 16 years fellah. You never noticed?

    Actually, when we were crud the other games were barely talked about.

    Many here were saying that they weren't watching other games mainly because it was so painful to watch our games (2012 - about 2015)

    As we improved and became a top side, these threads became popular again.  Last year was probably the most popular for the 'Other games'

    That would be why I never noticed it before, had a hiatus for a while as it was too hard to be on here.

    So it is just 1 thread for all the games over the weekend except ours?

    I fancied Carlton tonight and thought they would do well this season. Not so sure after that performance. Not so much the performance more so how they closed out the last 8/9 mins. 
    After losing so many close games last year in the closing minutes I thought Voss would have had them super well drilled and organised how to see out a game like that. Looks like they haven’t learnt their lessons from last season.

    Yep and it's gone from maybe 3 pages in the godawful years to often 15+ pages these days

    I suppose being a good team means less envy when watching the rivals play?  So we can easily watch the good teams (now) with a more discerning eye

    I’ve only read the last 3 pages of this thread but I think you are all being pretty bloody harsh. 
    I thought it was a really good game with some great skills. I don’t watch many non Melbourne games but thought that was a ripper

    I first noticed non-MFC game threads around 2017 or 2018 when we were actually pushing for finals for a change.

    Awful game, Rioli a cut above every other player on the field. The AA half back so far.

    I'd say that's exactly it Macca. Hated watching any other games when we were at our lowest, watching all the draft picks around us shine while we destroyed the talent we got. Shudder just thinking about those days.

    Losing a game of footy ruined the whole weekend and I just wanted to be in a dark room. I recall coming on here to chat about Grand Finals we weren't in but that was about it.

    Perfect start to the footy season. 

    Both Boos and Tiges fans whinging about the result. All is good in the universe.

    Bolton's shot on goal was terrible

    O'Brien running down the boundary probably took to many bounces but McKay needed more support and not have 3 on him

    Acres at the end. He just needed to take that mark & somehow get it through for even a point.

    It was pathetic, he couldn't have been much worse than directly in front. Skills were shocking in this game and there wasn't a lot of good pure football play, just errors. A garbage game for two bin dipper clubs.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
