    Reckon both teams are chucking it round like they think they're Harlem Globetrotters.

    Dunstall trying to convince us that it’s scrappy because of the pressure.  Then Fox shows the pressure gauge and no, not a big pressure game at all.

    That wasn’t a free kick to Motlop whatsoever. Even Channel 7 didn’t want to show the replay. Non officiating umpire reacted to the Blues fans. Terrible officiating.

    Was actually a great tackle considering there’s literally 50cm height difference between Motlop and Dekoning

    Doesn't take a genius to know you don't win if you don't take your chances.

    Yep, blues can't buy a goal

    The young Guthrie has become a bit of a player.

    Finally the ump pays the free for dropping the ball. There's been a few so far this game.

    They just don’t move it with any purpose. 
    It’s ridiculous considering they have two of the best tall forwards in the competition.

    AFL commentators unique for at least two reasons:

    they congratulate each other - good call BT. never heard that in any other sport

    they tell players what they should do. why is he kicking around the corner? she kick a drop punt. 

    two truely bizarre aspects of aussie rules commentary

    Carlton doing the basics very poorly. Filling the defensive f50 hole, sheparding, 3rd man going for intercep mark, kicking to advantage

    Losing to Geelong isn’t a choke, it’s how they lose.

    If Curnow or McKay didn’t mark it, the ball came flying back out, and when McKay did mark it he struggled in front of goals. Why do key fwds continue to try and kick around their body.

    plague on the modern game.  Look at the great forwards and their kicking techniques.

    • 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.

      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.
