I remember the days when we played very little sport on Sunday's. Cricket Test matches had a rest day on Sunday's back in the day.  Pubs were closed and supermarkets couldn't open either

Times have changed and integration for worthy causes and sport is the new way.  As you said, tie the evening game in with the appeal. It's a no-brainer

I recall my mom taking my 10 year old nimble hands to grab a bargain at the supermarket before it closed for 48 hours or thereabouts this time of year many moons ago.

    What an appalling display of umpiring. It was actually a great contest until ruined by the umpires in their determination to get Carlton over the line. The commentary was comical too. It's reasonable to call out poor decisions without sinking the boots into the umpires, but there was nothing.  In this case, the boots should have been well and truly sunk in as they were clearly shifting the momentum of the game away from North. Good on them for battling on despite the obvious bias.

    given it allegedly happened 40 years ago i doubt anyone working at the club then is still there.

    On the contrary, it might apply to half their current list based on its demographic.

    Let’s not get too carried away. The free kick count favoured Carlton by 21 to 20. North gave away a lot of frees because its lack of talls meant that its defenders were often under the pump in marking contests. 

    One of the reasons for its loss were pre match injuries to key defenders and the injury to Larkey.

    interesting games today. i have picked sound  ‘outsiders’ today

    Tigers are old, but have rested Cotch and Jack. Dogs have far too much in the midfield for them to handle imo

    Freo could easily win, over 4 quarters should get it done  but i’m not confident enough to put money on them

    The saints are due a blow out given them long list of injuries. Can the Suns back up last week? i reckon they can

    Port will be breathing fire after last week but surely the swans still win  Swans by 10 pts

    I can't believe dimma is resting both cotchin and riewoldt. It's round 4. If I was Bevo I'd be secretly relieved but a bit insulted at the same time. I would not be surprised to see the doggies win. 

    Sydney v port will be interesting. after last weeks result port would want to show something.

    I’d be “resting” Riewoldt too. As good as he’s been over his career, unfortunately I reckon he is a passenger in the forward line this year, hasn’t done anything particularly memorable and should have retired last year.

    A few on the Sainters bandwagon and good luck to them and the club. We know their pain.

    But they haven't really been tested as yet. They are going OK but their wins have all been in Melbourne. They just beat Freo and they did a good job against the dogs and and did beat the Don's.

    I guess they will be certs for beating Gcs at Marvel again and stay on top.

    Despite this I'm not convinced they are a top 4 team.

    Lions v Magpies 

    1. Lions very very hard to beat at home 

    2. Magpies lack of a ruckman is a weakness to exploit 

    3. Magpies goalkicking accuracy in 2022 was amazing. In round 3 & 4 it’s been woeful. 
    4. Nick Daicos seriously must be favourite for the Brownlow 

    5. Charlie Cameron loves it when the Lions are front runners

    Kangas v Blues 

    1. Carlton rely on Curnow and McKay. But they are seriously very good. 
    2. Kangas youngsters are impressive.  Simpkin, Sheezel, LDU and they’ll add Wardlaw in next few weeks. 
    3. Kangas poor goalkicking and Larkeys injury hurt their chances. 
    4. Blues need Sam Walsh in. He’s run was missed and he will be a key to their premiership chances 

    5. Umpires in 3rd quarter were horribly favouring Carlton. It killed North to see Blues get so many frees whilst they didn’t get one for the last 20 minutes in the 3rd. Best comment about the umps. No comment.

    Yes and another reason was pathetic, one sided umpiring. The free kick count is not the determining factor of poor umpiring. It is when blatantly bad decisions continually go to one side and then change the momentum and ultimately the result of the game.

    If I was a Roos fan I would be livid just like the Giants fans were last week. Coincidentally against the same team.

    Not enough reason to hope Richmond will win. Close to my most despised team. It starts with Tom Lynch. He's just one of those players who always taking cheap shots behind the play and then getting favoured by soft frees from the umps. Go Doggies!

    Both have been poor. Playing their last season.

    Interesting song choice after Adelaide goals, well, Tex’s goals anyways. Sex On Fire by Kings of Leon. Hopefully we get to hear it many times today. 👍🏽

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
