I really don’t like the stand rule or the insufficient intent one.

    Bailey went over the mark by 2 steps late. Ump was directly side on, making it really obvious 

    Pretty sure it wasn't a "stand" infringement

    Really poor defensive game. Both teams running freely between the two 50 metre lines. It looks even, but at least one of them need to tighten the crews a bit. Not finals standard footy at all.

    This game couldn’t be more different to our game last week versus Carlton.

    Still feels stupid that Carlton played GC at the MCG and this game is at Marvel. 

    No argument it's stupid

    Collingwood tried to swap with game a couple of weeks back, in order to Max crowd at G with top 2 clash

    I'd prefer to not play home games in NT...

    Collingwood’s defence looks super ordinary.

    If Moore isn’t back in top shape in finals they are cooked. They are already a poor defensive side. Add to that their risky ball movement and they just cannot defend turnovers.

    Collingwood's backline is not the same without Moore, would prefer to play them as well.

    +1

    Just enforce the 50 meter when opponents hold on to or scrag the man with the free / mark.

    IF they insist on retaining it then they need to make the kicker line up over the mark, yes even when deep in defence: otherwise it is a complete farce.

    And the insufficient attempt requires an already confused umpire (far too many 'interpretative' rules) to read the kicker's mind.  Just keep "deliberate"

    BT is an embarrassment. Always gets the most animated over fisticuffs, and clearly you can add a topless player to the list. 🙄

    I know it’s better for us if Collingwood  win……but I JUST CAN’T barrack for the bestards .

     I know I should move on, but it’s the ‘58 Grand Final which has given me permanent scars.

    I want a Coll.win  by a point, with multiple injuries to both sides. I’m ashamed of that sentiment, but I have to be honest.

    Commentary talking about great defences - that must be why there have been 13 14 goals kicked by now. ðŸ¤«

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
