    What deciduous schadenfreude if both Tigers and Blues were to miss the finals by half a game.  🤗🤗🤗

    So an earlier than usual seasonal demise for both clubs, Autumn?
    As Mel Brooks might have intoned…

    “Tigerland is happy and gay, we’re playing to a faster pace, look out, here comes the tigers down the race.”

    “I was born in Rathdowne, and that is why they call me Bags, don’t be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Lygon Street party.”

    Homesick. His family are down in Geelong. Makes Luke Jackson homesickness seem feasible. At least his family are in a different state

    Not a huge fan of GFC but I really hope they beat Collingwood. The less games they win the better. It would be good to start the weekend with a pies loss.

    Also I hope they get smashed in the ruck & pies fans are miserable about the club ditching Grundy.

    You're certainly a nut job picket - no doubt about that.

    However, I do agree with your opinion.

    Round 1 has now become a contrived 50/50 round with roughly equal clubs pitched against each other.

    Not sure what people think but to me it robs the regular season of decent matches when teams are more settled

    I find a good Scotch or Canadian Club can sometimes fix watching teams I hate. And I really hate these two.

    Pendlebury just handballed over his head to a Collingwood player who didn't break his stride (Hoskin-Elliot?). Hate the pies but can't help but admire Pendlebury.

    Do yourself a favour and open another bottle, life is too short to drink ordinary Shiraz.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
