I started watching it when I got home from banner. Pies were 5.4.34, Lions were 3.4.22. Lions have kicked 10 goals since I walked in the door.

You're all welcome.

    I still feel Collingwood aren't out of this. We know how they come back

    Not without the Collingwood army of supporters pushing them along.

    The MCG is a long way from the Lions den at the Gabba.

    So can someone clarify this for me pls...

    Player takes a mark under severe pressure with opponent bearing down.

    Opponent runs over the mark in his attempt to spoil and put player off from marking.

    Umpire then calls player (who has gone past the mark) to come back a meter or two and stand the mark where he (the umpire) believes the mark was taken.

    Player goes back but then does not stand the mark and keeps going back away from the mark.

    My understanding was that if he's instructed to come back a meter or two he cant then decide (for himself) that he's now going to run way back behind the mark to an 'outside 5' set up.

    In other words the player standing the mark can't have it both ways, especially when instructed by the umpire to go back and stand the mark.

    This happened just now in tonight's game... with the umpire doing exactly the above but then allowing player to go back and actually calling him as 'outside 5' after initially calling him back 2 meters (to stand the mark).

    Anyone??

    Stupid rule (Stand...!), so much so that the umpires don't understand it...!

    A goal assist and has stood on the mark a couple of times.

    Some dumb footy the last 5 mins from the Lions. They're quite capable of coughing up this game

    They are so susceptible to any type of pressure

    • 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.
