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?

it was awful 

Wreck it Ralphy 

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.

Yep. They’ve got some catching up to do if they want challenge our own ilk!


 

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.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
