Want to reconsider that?

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.

Yep and it would be weekend after weekend of disappointment.

Thank [censored] those days are gone and gone for good!

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • 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?
