    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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
