How good is Isaac Smith at 34 years of age.

That was an excellent goal he just kicked.

    If the two clubs are monitoring their own interchange numbers and an interchange steward is monitoring both then it isn't too much of a stretch surely to let them know when they've reached their limit to avoid something like this happening?

    I really wish Fox would realise Adam Papalia is their best commentator and use him more.

    He has the audacity to call the game, and applaud the gameplay. It’s so novel!

    For those that are watching the Dogs v Adelaide game, have Dogs been that good or Adelaide that poor.

    Dogs are quietly making a top 4 bid.

    Was at the game. Crows brought some heat early but Dogs are outstandingly good at getting out of stoppage or spillage when being pressured. They looked a division above the Crows all day.

    I have the Dogs and Lions both to win a flag in the next 3 or 4 years...but had the Dogs a year or two away before some of their young talls mature. But their mids are good and clean enough under pressure to potentially go deep.

    Luke Jackson is carving it up today. His last month has been really good, and his groundball work is so clean and sharp.

    It's the same travel time as Geelong from Melbourne so it's not a long travel. Not much further than Casey from the Melbourne CBD in travel time.

    Why Bulldogs are paid $1M to play there by the State Government... who knows

    Ballarat used to be a marginal electorate.

    No conspiracy. Nth stuffed up there interchange rotations. Surely there is someone on the nth bench that counts these

    Used to be a part-time job - Ratten. They didn't back-fill the position. Tight budget at Arden Street.

    Bloody hell.  I'm no friend of Norf but even I'm wondering how many times the footy gods can fart in their faces. Brutal way to lose. 

    How good would Australia be if this had happened to Filth/PorkBarrellStadium/Carscum/Essendrugs/Horethorn?

    If you are going to be reasonable and sensible you are posting on the wrong site.

    8-0 free kicks in the final qrt 

    similar feel to last night 

    in fairness the Cats had the rub of the green the other 3 quarters. they were double the free kicks at one point 13-6. a lot of them very dubious and resulting in goals

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
