One quarter into this game and it's become VERY obvious that neither Richmond nor Carlton are going to do anything of note this year. Way off the pace compared to these two.

    He’s not playing anywhere near as much inside footy as he did earlier in his career, so he still has a couple years left in him yet

    The standard of footy tonight is terrific. Two Top 4 teams for sure.    Max Holmes looks a beauty.  What could’ve been.

    Anyway it’s such a contrast to last night’s fumblefest.   Enjoying this entertainment.

    Why do they insist on calling it an underground handball?

    just as I'm reading this he takes a contested mark and goals.

    Gee whiz not sure we'd deal with the attacking threat (or replicate it ourselves) of either of these teams

    How did so many of their toe rag fans get into an away game?

    If Voss is watching this game he may want to revise his statement that the Boos and the Tiges will be thereabouts at the end of the season.

    This game is a class above. Both these sides look set for a top 4 finish.

    Hope these mounting injuries aren’t somehow related to the newly laid turf post the Ed Sheerin concert…we play tmrw night

    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.

    Did you know he played basketball before football?

    You should have seen what he could do with a ball, before he started playing footy.

    Maybe playing basketball before football has prolonged his career

    This could well be a grand final preview and I wouldn’t be surprised. The skills are unbelievable.

    • 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.
