Seeing so many reprobates in the crowd enjoying themselves is putting me off my dinner.

    Who wants to be the first to say go Bombers and get put in their place?

    Why is this game at the MCG?

    Bulldogs played at Marvel a bit earlier? Or does that not normally matter?

    Yeah not sure how many hours are needed between games at the same venue. But seeing Essendon and Carlton both playing home games at the MCG versus interstate teams makes me angry.

    Is Daicos that good? Is he better than the Bont or Dawson or Butters right now? Is he just racking up cheap possessions of half back? I have no doubt he uses it well but is he rightfully the Brownlow favourite? I personally don’t think he’s the best player in the game.

    The best player in the game doesn’t always win the Brownlow, Oliver is a prime example of that. Daicos x 2 are both guns.

    They never usually play 2 games at the same venue on the same day outside of gather round or emergencies.

    So if the Bombers win tonight, it doesn’t bode well for the AFL in fixturing integrity where all teams off the bye lose against a non bye team.
     

    With so much other inequity, this just adds another dimension.

    I’d say 90% of Brownlow’s won since the 80’s haven’t been won by the best player in the game.

    Carey, Ablett Snr, Matthews. It’s an incredible list.

    At least their seconds are flying the flag, a white flag but a flag never the less.May be an image of text that says 'Full Time East Fremantle 215 West Coast WAFL 31 Q1 Q2 11.3 Q3 Q4 18.8 26.14 0.1 33.17 1.3 3.5 4.7'

    And yet they still can’t get to 186 😂

    Just send them to Tasmania and keep the competition at 18 teams.

    No doubt because Essendon requested it.

    Weids looking good this quarter. Running back with the ball and halving contests.

    I was complaining earlier about Essendon playing a home game at the MCG. Now that it’s flogging down rain I am not so upset. Just need Port to win now. 

  • Quote

    Have these umpires ever ever played the game - zero feel of the game calling that deliberate (5;00 to go Q3).

    Pissing with rain, off balance - about 50 cm from the line.  Absurd

    ANG13 - I am a bit conflicted re tonight's result.

    It is looking more and more like 4th is the best we can expect, so having cocky Collingwood at 1 would be way better than Port.  Would far prefer Collingwood at the G than Port over there.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
