The only way that could have been better was if both teams had been disqualified.

(Or, maybe if they'd both scored 0.18 AND been disqualified.)

    Yep and it would be weekend after weekend of disappointment.

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

    Yes it's hard to see our team falling away with all the young talent we have on the list (and experienced talent of course)

    The template is there now and we just need those within the club to remain hungry (ravenous) whilst endeavouring to stay ahead of the game making smart moves

    Our best beats both of the teams tonight but we were not always at our best in the 2nd half of last year

    Recruit well and keep extending the window

    Three Brownlow votes for Cripps tonight, didn't do anything but thats never stopped the Umps before.

    I always turn the sound off when Nathan Brown (🐅 broken leg version) starts up about “the odds”!  
    Did he quite a “3 Downlow votes for tonight odds market?

    Doesn't deserve a thread of it's own, but I'm watching the post game press conference and I can't help but ask:

    Any chance in 2023 we can get some room microphones to be able to actually hear the journalists questions?

    So the Blues, with 3 talls, struggled all night to keep the ball in their F50. Gives us a taste of Sat night. As long as the Doggies talls arnt  clunking it, they’ll struggle to keep it in their  forward half.

    Never mind Vossy’s statement, I’m furious about that typo. The word “chargers” should be “charges” 😁

    Their supporters would not be happy with that statement. Very David Teague. 

    If they were to miss finals again on the back of a few more chokes like that the knives will be out. 

    Hope so. I vividly remember Carlton between 1970-95

    No Sympathy at all. Let them burn for eternity

    Wow. Very exciting end to a very meh game. 

    I watched it on Kayo which had the 4 wise monkeys as quarter and half time commentators, Buckley's gem for the night was; "they need to put the gas to the peddle". Truly BT worthy, the other 3 just kept going like nothing had happened. No wonder he confused the Collingwood players.

    Honestly I had the tigers making the 8 and they might, Carlton for me finish 9-10 depending on port. What a [censored] show last night was. People can argue it’s only rd 1, but for Carlton who we’ve been told “are coming” since 2009 that was garbage. For me the only highlights of the game were the  Bolton mark, 2 goals from Lynch (one from the pocket and one to level it) and the Curnow goal from the pocket. I’m going to find out what they paid for hopper because GWS would be laughing. Taranto gets a lot of it but can’t kick. Based on that only a 4/5 teams are in the hunt this year. Jack and Dusty are past it. Dynasty well and truly over. Teams want to get of to a good start, there will be games this week when a team will lose but they would have played a brand of footy where people will say “they’re going to be hard to beat this season”. You’d be [censored] if your club loses to either of those two teams last night. The game must now go to someone else, if not last years GF, then the 2 teams that lost the preliminary, so last night would be Pies v Lions.

    Another example why 19 teams won’t work.

    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

    1.5M a year between 'em. Amazing. Throw in McGovern and you have the price of a bedsitter in the back streets of Bondi Beach.

    • 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?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
