The kids in the house love it Dwayne!

How can "threads the needle" not be in the Dwayne bingo card?

His commentary is as pleasant as listening to someone dry retching

    In the snow?

    I went there with Moonshadow a few years ago  (Jack Watts was still with us) to see us flogged by GWS.

    One of the coldest/windiest days I've experienced .... anywhere.

    Brass Monkeys were calling for oxy torches.

    Good God man, it's never that cold!... but yea the coldest day I've ever experienced was an August day trip there with my dad . He said it was colder than where he worked in Northern Finland. It's 9 d c but the wind chill makes it 9 below.

    Hogan may not be a great set shot but his contested markings still pretty good. And after he crashes a pack open is good at following up, collecting the pill and finding a teamate quickly.

    We could really use him now.

    Sits back and calls for the ball to be delivered most of the time & most of the time from behind.

    If it falls into his 'preferred' drop zone he looks great and occasionally a million $$

    When it doesn't ...well.

    And it often doesn't, which then sees him sooking for it a la Richo.

    The diff is of course that Richo had a massive tank and worked his opponents over by running them allover the park and capitalising on the fall out.  Nick Reiwoldt the same.  If Hogan had that work ethic/attitude he'd probably be a diff kettle of fish.

    A free for holding the ball without being tackled?  Did I miss a new rule?

    Sounds like GWS are getting some traction in Canberra. I just heard six people start a Giants chant when they got within 35 points of Brisbane.

    They just leave Toby at ff one on one and everyone else push up.

    So Neale picks the ball up and blind turns away from potential tackles, but then runs straight into a tackler.

    Had prior.... 4 umps.

    That's immediately HTB right there...blow the whistle.

    But nup..... im gonna give Neale all the time in the world to get out of this tackle even though he's already had more than sufficient prior.

    So what happens.... tackler spins him around as Neale's trying to escape tackle and Neale ends up on the turf with one arm pinged.

    After all that the umpire finally makes the call..... dangerous tackle!

    So whose fault is the end result?

    It's the umpire for not calling HTB immediately Neale spun away from his opponents and straight into that tackle.

    Ditector of Umpiring &/or AFL need to fix this blight on the game & pronto.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
