How is that a behind? No spike on edge at all. Weird. 
Lucky this won’t change the result 🙄

    Score review is a joke 

    Just let the umpires make the call and be done with it.

    As a big cheerleader of AFL football in western Sydney you'd think Kevin Sheedy would be loving this.

    Is the view good from the bench Brad?

    Hope his dumb brother has the same look later tonight.

    I'll be disgusted with anything less than a 130 point win 

    I just texted my Essendon mate to tell him the comeback is on. I’m so mean 😂

    Is there a more annoying phrase than lace out being used in footy?  A pure grid iron reference that has nothing to do with AFL. 

    It's actually a very old footy expression that was laughingly asked of a teammate (usually the full-forward) about how he'd prefer the footy to be delivered for a chest mark - laces in or laces out?

    "Laces out" was preferred because it was easier to mark and didn't bruise the flesh.  It essentially means a perfect kick that hits the target exactly as planned.

    20 goals in 2 minutes.

    Not impossible.

    I slept in, had 4 hours in the garden, followed by 4 hours to myself to do nothing but flick between Demonland and the live footy, fish 'n chips for dinner, and now a nice Heathcote region shiraz.

    Feeling good.

    And I got to watch some Bomber v Giants and see the final score.

    The English language in all its beauty does not hold enough words to describe the jubilation of seeing the Bombers annihilated. I hate them more than Greta Thunberg hates petrol cars, plastic bags and rational thinking. 

    Long may they suffer and rot.

    And now I am feeling very, very good.

    Someone needs to go on bomberblitz and say they are currently still a mathematical chance of making finals 😁

    126 points. Adam Kingsley you are a genius.

    What a beautiful game to watch.

    The best thing, no finals for the bummers again.

    GWS will beat Carlton next win to make the finals. Green will destroy them.

    Why? We didn’t need to travel, our attendance in Melbourne has been really strong, and we have record membership. If the club can’t turn that into more revenue, coming off a recent premiership, then they should ask hard questions of the sponsorship team.

    Do you recall when it commenced?

    *apologies - nor do I! - my point was - it was done in a context where they would have felt it was relevant - many seasons before the current seasons, thus no idea it was a 'tight' season.

    Anyway there are a whole host of reasons why clubs have done it...

    AFL clubs sometimes sell or allocate home games to non-traditional venues for various reasons:

    1. Financial incentives: Regional centers or other states may offer financial incentives to clubs to bring AFL games to their location. This can be more profitable for the club than hosting a game at their traditional home ground, especially if they're not expecting a large attendance.

    2. Grow the fanbase: By playing in different areas, clubs can attract new fans and members.

    3. Community engagement: Clubs can strengthen ties with community groups, local clubs, and schools in the regions they visit.

    4. Partnership agreements: Some clubs have established partnerships or sponsorships with territories, such as the Northern Territory, which require them to play a certain number of games there each year.

    The Melbourne Football Club has a strong association with the Northern Territory due to their partnership agreement, made many years ago, before 2023.

    Carlton coming off two hard close games. GWS off a training run with Green rested in the last quarter. Good luck to Carlton.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
