We might have booked Scully but the rest of the comp didn't. It's bloody stupid unless you're north supporters.

North weren't even playing tonight!

Every club participates in the draft, and every club's supporters have the right to expect their #1 pick to at least see out the first contract.

    Why every other teams fans has joined the booing bandwagon is somewhat perplexing but probably relates to group think

    Group sheep think more like it.

    Absolute star tonight!

    i’m going to enjoy the Saints slide down the ladder and out of finals. 

    they had 28-14 free kicks and still bottled it. their lack of midfield talent will tell.

    What about every club not involved and their spectators?

    Once again excuse my ignorance but how did he avoid seeing out that contract?

    Every club is involved in the draft. That's the point.

    I think you are right. I can’t work out what rule a number of these so called frees are awarded for. 

    28 frees to  St K, 14 to Port. 
    Absolutely every 50:50 decision went to the Saints. The Marvel crowd( all Saints) definitely influenced the Umpires by screaming for frees the whole match.

    We Demon supporters have got to try to influence the imps like that, but it’s harder at the bigger MCG, and we rarely have a crowd  that all goes for us .

    He's a gun and was always going to be. Like the way he goes about his footy when he's switched on.

    I've never booed a player because they stiffed a club other than mine.

    He had his foot out the door half way before his first season was over and requested a trade to Port.

    North could have held him to his contract but seemed both parties thought a split was better.

    North have done well out of the deal regardless with Sheezel and Wardlaw, who hasn't played yet. Wardlaw is an explosive mid who will be a gun, assuming he gets on the park (injury prone with hammy issues last year).

    Fair enough, seems like a waste of energy though.

    Been going to the football for over 50 years. I have never booed any player or umpire. I'd feel a fool doing it and I'd be right. It's simply moronic.

    Carn crows!

    Funnily enough, if Crows get up and and both Bombers and Lions win, there will be 7 teams at the top of the ladder separated only by percentage.

    Imagine changing your employer and then turning up to site with all the proper accreditation, head out and get booed by 'stakeholders', whilst you go about your paid job for 3 hours to provide entertainment for 'stakeholders' on a weekly basis...

    Imagine doing so when you are 19.

    Imagine thinking, "He's an AFL footballer, it's fair game, it comes with the territory..."

    It's an absolute [censored] disgrace by those that do it, and by those that condone it and the apologists.

    I am so surprised that where we are culturally in 2023, and how the AFL positions itself around mental health that it has not been addressed by the AFL publicly. The AFL need to disentangle the right to boo about incidents in a match, vs systemic individually directed bullying...

    Yes, it's a mental health issue.

    The 50m penalty needs to go

    I say keep it but I think they could have a 25 m penalty used in conjunction. Not all infractions deserve the same penalty. Just saying.

    • 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.

    • 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.
