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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • 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.
